Western officials are cautioning it could be a long-haul, with Britain’s deputy prime minister saying Sunday that thwarting Putin’s invasion could take “months, if not years."In his first extended remarks about the invasion, Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday threatened the very existence of the government of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, while Zelensky appealed the same day to U.S. lawmakers for help securing more Soviet-era fighter jets to keep repelling the Kremlin invasion.Here’s what to knowNews•News•News•At least six people have been killed and nearly a dozen more injured following several attacks on health-care facilities in Ukraine, World Health Organization Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus confirmed Sunday.“Attacks on healthcare facilities or workers breach medical neutrality and are violations of international humanitarian law,” he tweeted, adding that additional incidents are being investigated.The organization has recorded six deaths and 11 injuries as a result of the attacks since Russian forces began invading Ukraine on Feb. 24. We’re talking about months, if not years.”Speaking on the Sky News show “Trevor Phillips on Sunday,” Raab added, “Therefore, we’ll have to show some strategic stamina, because this is not going to be over in days.”The comments come as Britain’s Defense Ministry on Sunday said that the “scale and strength of Ukrainian resistance continues to surprise Russia,” which had anticipated a weaker response from Ukraine that would have allowed it to quickly take the capital, Kyiv — and, along with it, control over the government.Raab noted that although “none of the major cities have yet fallen,” Russia has responded with “evermore brutal tactics.”Governments around the world have responded to the invasion by hitting Russia with crippling sanctions, as companies — including major payment platforms like Visa, Mastercard and American Express — have joined in the effort.Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab says 'Putin must fail in Ukraine' but that could take 'months if not years' so we need to show 'some strategic stamina'.#Phillips: https://t.co/31OokSLksh📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602, Freeview 233 and YouTube pic.twitter.com/1gKQ7Inyw9Britain’s Defense Ministry said in an intelligence update Sunday that the “scale and strength of Ukrainian resistance continues to surprise Russia” as Moscow targets populated areas.The Ukrainian military has hampered Russia’s advances by advising civilian defense volunteers to attack fuel trucks — which are unarmored and often driven by poorly trained Russian soldiers — instead of armored vehicles.
