commander

The UK's first border security commander has pledged to keep "chipping away" a people smugglers' business models until they are no longer profitable.

The losses are compounded by the “meat grinder” approach said to be favoured by Russian commanders - describing the waves of recruits thrown towards Ukrainian positions in a bid to exhaust troops.

After two weeks, Ukraine's top commander claimed to control more than 1,200 sq km of Russian territory and 93 villages.

The country's military commander in chief wrote on Telegram that the country had faced 1,000 days of "extremely complex, fierce battle for our existence" and "destroying the enemy".

McDonnell has years of organizational charts in his office, and the number of people on the commanders’ chart has grown with more specialized responsibilities.
