Chashank: Having vornikov in charge is going to help russia's command and control that was previously completely cacophinous. But he has to cope with a number of other problems to do with russia's tactical deficiencies, to do with morale in the armed ses, and problems with man power. Chashank: Ukraine is now ceving what i think is a very substantial amount of western intelligencea including intelligence that is probably helping it target russian forces. And that does not look like a good gamble for vladimir poton to me.
