Two Russian colonels have been caught in a foul-mouthed rant and blistering criticisms of Vladimir Putin and his defence minister Sergei Shoigu over the failing war with Ukraine.
The private phone call, which was bugged by the Kyiv secret services, revealed the dissent among higher ranks in the military.
The colonels blame Putin for not bombing the Ukrainian parliament and other key sites and Shoigu was dismissed as incompetent in military affairs.
