LONDON — Russia has already “strategically lost” its war with Ukraine, suffering heavy losses and strengthening NATO, the UK’s chief of defense staff said in an interview published on Friday. Russia will never take control of Ukraine,” said Tony Radakin, the country’s highest-ranking military officer, adding it would emerge a “more diminished power.”ADVERTISEMENT“Russia has strategically lost already. NATO is stronger, Finland and Sweden are looking to join,” he told Britain’s domestic Press Association news agency. “The Russian machine is grinding away, and it’s gaining a couple of — two, three, five — kilometers every day,” the admiral said. “We’ve been providing anti-tank weapons, there are other elements that we’re providing and that will continue,” he said.
