This horrific milestone proves that Putin doesn’t care about his people. He’d rather build new graves & fill them with Russia’s sons, than admit his invasion to be a failure.  As he throws more soldiers into the grinder, the West must not allow his murderous plan to prevail.

The world has moved from a post-war to a pre-war era and our military must rapidly adapt. That’s why we’ve reformed how we procure new equipment to maximise every pound spent, speed up projects and invest in what Britain needs to fight and win.
