Russia war: ‘Ukraine has upper hand in night assaults’ 

Russia is struggling to fend off night attacks due to Ukraine’s use of high-tech gear supplied by the West that is allowing its forces to fight in the dark, according to a think tank.

The US, UK and other allies have given Ukraine night vision goggles and other such equipment. Russia, by contrast, does not routinely issue such gear to its troops. 

On Saturday, Kyiv’s forces conducted counteroffensive operations in at least four front-line areas, according to the Washington-based Institute for the Study of War. 

“Russian sources claimed that Ukrainian forces have tactical advantages in conducting assaults at night due to Western-provided equipment with superior night optics systems,” the Institute for the Study of War said.

Mr Zelensky secured fresh pledges of military aid while meeting with visiting Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau over the weekend.

    All the better to see cockroaches crawling out of their holes.
