Update: Rishi Sunak orders audit of Ukraine war progress, source says (BBC)
WNU Editor: This is not a real audit. This is a normal British government mandated report and review on the actual military realities in the Russia - Ukraine war. I do not expect this report will ever be made public. I also expect zero change in policy when this report is finalized.
But what is interesting about this story is how the British media has responded to this leak. A leak (according to the BBC) from Whitehall. You would think that a thorough examination by the government on the progress of the war would be overwhelmingly supported by the media. Instead, it seems the British media are not only critical that this report is being done (parroting what the Whitehall leaker has said), but they are also deeply concerned that this report may result in a lessening of support for Ukraine.
When did Whitehall (i.e. the bureaucracy) decide what UK policy was to be? It looks like the UK has its own "deep state".
