Russia is set to increase the pace of its attack on Ukraine, as the ongoing conflict now enters the 10th day, western intelligence officials predict. Russia is poised to deploy up to 1,000 more mercenaries to Ukraine in the coming days and weeks to strengthen the units which have been stalled in the past few days.
“It’s a very crude approach,” he says of the Syrian government’s decision to use heavy-caliber weapons against rebel forces in Syria.

The US government and Pentagon have blamed logistics problems, shortage of resources and low morale of the soldiers for the lack of progress made so far.
