Is it possible for Ukraine to turn the tide on Russia?

In recent days a senior Ukrainian general has criticised the tactics of his president, pointing out that Ukraine is too dependent on Western support. The general said it as the Russians continue to make advances in the east.

On this day, October 4, 1956 Soviet troops entered Hungary to quell the uprising that began on October 23. Thousands of Hungarians were killed and close to 250,000 people left the country.

Without Nato direct intervention is it possible for Ukraine to defend itself against the vast resources of Russia? 

It looks bleak and bleak for the world too.

Today is also the anniversary of the assassination  in 1995 of Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Rabin by an extremist Israeli. A great blow for peace and justice in the Middle East.
