GCHQ boss Sir Jeremy Fleming is to say that 'desperate' Russian president Vladimir Putin could face a leadership revolt as his decision to invade Ukraine backfires. Sir Jeremy is also expected to say that 'exhausted' Russian troops are running out of munitions and supplies.
The director of the UK's intelligence, cyber and security agency based in Cheltenham, is due to make a speech in London today. He is to say "it's clear that Ukraine's courageous action on the battlefield and in cyberspace is turning the tide," MirrorOnline reports.
His speech will come as reports suggest Russians of fighting-age are trying to avoid being drafted into Putin's "war of choice". The security chief will also reportedly say the country is now reliant on prisoners and inexperienced conscripts to fill in the depleted numbers on the frontline.
