You know you’re an unpopular leader when Sweden is sending your enemy 5,000 anti-tank missiles.

Some of my observations on the Russian invasion of #Ukraine so far. It is, in many respects, still early days. Both sides are learning & adapting (at different speeds). With the inherent uncertainties of war, there will be many surprises ahead. ⁦ abc.net.au/news/2022-03-0…
