Vladimir Putin's forces crumbling as commander 'shoots himself' after tanks pillaged by Russian soldiers to make up wages

Russian President Vladimir Putin has been hit with another setback in his invasion of Ukraine.

Reports from the Ministry of Defence in Kyiv have claimed that the commander of the "13th tank regiment" of the "4th tank division of the Russian Federation" shot himself.

The commander is believed to have taken the action after discovering that 90 per cent of Russian tanks had spoiled reserve tanks.
