AlJazeera - To the surprise of many, Ukraine forces are reportedly putting up strong resistance to invading Russian forces as they surround and bomb the capital Kyiv this weekend. Interviewed analysts suggested that the Russian military may have been caught off-guard by the level of pushback by Ukrainian fighters, and more troops would likely enter the fray in the coming days. “Russia is clearly facing setbacks that it did not expect. It’s taking casualties and Ukraine is taking prisoners, including some quite senior, at least one, possibly two, brigade commanders,” said Nigel Gould-Davies from the International Institute for Strategic Studies. “So Russia will be motivated now to accelerate the forces that it brings to this conflict. So far, it’s been using about half of the forces it has mobilized and prepared for this so in numerical terms..." But despite Ukraine's best efforts however, Russia now reportedly has at least 50 percent of its estimated 150,000-strong invasion force inside Ukraine.
