Vladimir Putin 's plans are now "doomed" as the Kremlin leader has "awakened a sleeping giant" by threatening Europe, a military expert has said.
Ukraine continues to receive weapons as they continue to hold off Russian advances.
Putin's forces have stagnated in eastern Ukraine as the original plan of a swift and effective invasion has slipped through his fingers.
One military expert has shared online why Russia' s plans are doomed.
Nicholas Drummond also explained how getting military equipment and continued support for Ukraine is proving effective.
He wrote on Twitter : "Scholz + Germany in partnership with Macron and France, Johnson and Britain, Biden and America, Morawiecki and Poland, and many others, show there is more that unites us than divides us.
“Such solidarity with Ukraine suggests that Russian plans to subsume it are doomed.”
He went on to explain Putin's plans for a short war are slipping through his fingers.
He continued: “The war in Ukraine seems unlikely to be over soon.
“Today, Scholz expressing his commitment to Ukraine for as long as it needs Germany’s support is a clear admission that Putin will not be allowed to succeed in Ukraine.
“Putin has awakened a sleeping giant.”
Germany approved the supply of heavy weapons to Ukraine including a supply of seven Panzerhaubitze 2000 Howitzer cannons.
France and The Netherlands are also providing variants of the Howitzer to Ukraine.
Many criticised Germany for its late reaction to helping Ukraine.
Mr Drummond added: “Don’t criticise Germany for being late to the party.
“After 1945, it wanted to become a country known for its economic strength, not its military might.
“Its industry has since set a global standard. It has been a fantastic European partner and deserves international respect.”
“However, Olaf Scholz and his government had barely taken power when Russia invaded Ukraine.
“To his great credit, he realised Germany had to change to meet the threat posed by such aggression.”
Mr Drummond also praised Britain for its role in supplying Ukraine.
He said: “I feel duty-bound to mention Ben Wallace in all this.
“His early decision to send NLAW, Javelin and an enormous quantity of munitions to Ukraine set a great example and was crucial in the early stages of the conflict.
“He has since worked to bind Europe and the USA together.”
Mr Drummond then suggested the Russian President has alienated himself and Russia from the world due to his actions.
He concluded: “Ultimately, Putin has sacrificed Russian lives for no substantive gain.
“He is bankrupting Russia’s economy and has trashed its international reputation.
“These things will only be restored when Russia decides to get rid of him.”
It comes after NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg warned Russia's invasion of Ukraine has “shattered peace in Europe”.
The alliance Secretary-General promised a crunch summit in Madrid next week will be “transformative” for the 73-year-old coalition, coming four months after Vladimir Putin ordered Kremlin troops across the border.
Mr Stoltenberg added: “We are at a pivotal time for our security.
“President Putin’s war against Ukraine is the most urgent threat we face, it has shattered peace in Europe.”
