Ukraine's ability to fight like a Western military will be tested within the next six weeks, according to a defence expert, who says there is "no sign of cracking" within the Russian forces as Ukraine pushes on with a counter-offensive.

Professor Michael Clarke – a former head of defence think tank The Royal United Services Institute – told Forces News that the real "acid test" over whether Ukraine will be able to make a decisive breakthrough will come within weeks, into next month, if Ukrainian forces can demonstrate that they have learned from their training to fight like a Western army, using tactics superior to the Russians.

Prof Clarke said the test for Ukraine is to show that they can put all the kit and training they have received into action.
