Putin ‘sacks Eight Generals’ In Anger At Slow Progress In Ukraine Invasion by tommykiwi(m): 9:45pm On Mar 10, 2022
Furious Vladimir Putin is said to have sacked eight top generals in anger over the slow pace of the Ukraine invasion.

Oleksiy Danilov, head of Ukraine’s security council, said eight Russian commanders have been fired since the start of the conflict amid heavy losses on the battlefield.

Putin is also said to be enraged with leaders of the FSB security service for handing him intelligence suggesting that Ukraine was weak, riddled with neo-Nazi groups, and would give up easily if attacked.

Philip Ingram, a former senior British intelligence officer, told The Times that Putin is obviously ‘very angry’ and is blaming his intelligence agencies.

‘He blames them for seeding him the advice that led to the poor decision-making in Ukraine,’ he said.

That poor decision making has led to Russia suffering much higher casualties than it expected in its attack, which has now been going on for two weeks.

Moscow anticipated little resistance when it sent in light forces backed by airstrikes to seize key targets during the opening days.

Danilov said Putin thought capital city Kyiv would fall within two to three days.

‘It hasn’t happened and never will,’ he said.

The security head said ‘desperate’ Moscow has ‘now switched to a different tactic’ by changing leadership.

‘They had about 8 generals removed from their posts because they did not complete the task,’ he told state TV.

‘Now new ones have been appointed. We clearly understand what is happening in the Russian Federation. I can say that they are desperate.’

Ukraine believes Russia has lost up to 12,000 men in a fortnight. European intelligence puts it lower – between 6,000 and 9,000 – and US lower still, at up to 3,000.

Whichever proves accurate, it is almost certainly more than Putin anticipated when he invaded his southern neighbour.

According to the latest intelligence assessment from the UK, a huge Russian convoy advancing towards Kyiv has made little progress in over a week and suffered heavy losses from the Ukrainian armed forces.

The Ministry of Defence also said there had been a decrease in Russian air activity, probably because it underestimated the effectiveness and endurance of Ukrainian air defence.

I read this shit and all I can see is just Propaganda.
If the west really thinks like this then, they don't know what is in store for them.
It is only a fool that will think that with all the backing Ukraine had before the war and during the war wont make anyone put up resistance.
Ukraine is like half of Europe, with a large number of army,well backed by the US. Rumours have it that,the US had bio labs in Ukraine and other promises they must have given Zelensky.
The war is going according to plan but the western media wont tell you.
Ask, why beg for more jets and no flight zone if you are not being decimated.
Why blow up bridges so Russians won't come closer,it means they are being defensive.
Lesson: No be because your guy(NATO) tell you say your chest(Ukraine) don dey big, you(Ukraine)go come house come challenge your senior brother(Russia), when your senior brother (Russia) beat you finish, na only sorry you guys(NATO) go tell you.

BTW, why should the Almighty Putin rely on a unit for intelligence. I thought he is All-seeing and All-knowing. After all, he is unquestionable and no one dares challenge his decisions.

Bros, no let religion blind you, it is understandable. Putin thought the war would be over in a week. But no, this is not Crimea. . Russia is losing the war. A 67Km tank and trucks convoy that started out to Kyiv for 10 days is stuck out at 37 km to Kyiv, to make matters worse, Ukrainians are already blowing up the convoy. Russian soldiers either have to trek to Kyiv, a-37km road in the cold winter, or die. No resupplies are coming, vehicle batteries are running down, fuel is a problem, their wheels are stuck in wet and muddy winter ground. Who is feeding you lies?

Like USA or NATO always leave the jets against any country they have invaded or carry out operation.
USA bombed Iraq for straight 4 weeks, NATO bombardment Serbia for over 4 weeks straight before putting boots on the ground.
Russia is using soft hand on Ukraine because by now, they should have bombed Ukraine to Stone Age.
Russia bombers are not even deploy to Ukraine.
