He remarked that the Russian forces are running out of the necessary military equipment.

He added that earlier, Ukraine showed that if the Russian troops are struck "in the wrong place", they will basically "collapse".

"They can send tens of thousands of young men to their death but you cannot conjure tanks and armament they need," Wallace added.

Earlier, Lindsey Graham, US Republican senator, stressed that when the Ukrainian counteroffensive starts, the Russians will be "in for a rude awakening".

Mark Milley, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, stressed that tanks will play a decisive role in the Ukrainian counteroffensive.
