Tyrannical Vladimir Putin is plotting to build a huge fighting force to outnumber their Ukrainian enemies and overwhelm the east of the war-torn country, it has been claimed.
The Russian leader wants tens of thousands of soldiers in the Donbass region to ensure victory after failing to take capital Kyiv and being driven out of the region.
Experts believe Moscow’s forces are now regrouping but could soon outnumber their Ukrainian counterparts by as many as five to one - which would tip the scales of battle overwhelmingly in their favour, The Times reported.
