Two top Russian colonels have been secretly recorded insulting Vladimir Putin over the invasion of Ukraine and the retreat from Kyiv, it is claimed.
Russia failed to make the quick gains that was anticipated following the invasion of its neighbour that began on February 24 - and it has turned into a war of attrition.
Ukrainian fighters have battled for every inch and it led to a change of strategy from the Russians who withdrew from the north and an assault on the capital Kyiv, to instead concentrate in the more pro-Russian eastern regions close to the border.
