Russian forces fighting in Ukraine have lost two more high ranking officers in the latest blow to Vladimir Putin's invasion plans.
Early fears Ukraine would fall quickly to the Russian onslaught were quickly put to bed as stiff resistance bogged down the invading army forcing the Kremlin to reassess the strategy.
The latest two colonels to be killed including one of Russia’s youngest to reach such a high rank, takes the Russian toll to at least 52 colonels killed during the bloody conflict.
