- Eight Russian generals sacked over Ukraine invasion failings, Kyiv said today
- Head of security council said Moscow has changed tactics after early defeats
- Putin also said to be furious at secret services for misleading him over resistance
- Moscow expected Ukrainian military to fold, but has met determined fighters

Vladimir Putin has sacked his top generals and is 'raging' at the FSB after failed intelligence and poor strategy saw his troops handed a series of embarrassing defeats in the opening days of the war in Ukraine.

Oleksiy Danilov, head of Ukraine's security council, said 'around eight' Russian commanders have been fired since the start of the conflict as Moscow scrambles to change strategy after its attempted 'shock and awe' blitz fell flat.

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

Philip Ingram, a security expert and 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.

It seems Moscow had anticipated little resistance when it sent in light forces backed by airstrikes to seize key targets during the opening days, but was met with punishing counter-attacks.

How won't you fail when you are fighting against the world?
This mission is almost impossible,overide Ukraine backed by NATO and other word power including USA?
This is miscalculation from Putin's side,once NATO is involved your chance of winning is very tiny.

Make we no lie, Russia war strategy poor like mad. I just dey surprise how Russia Tanks dey melt like paper when been hitted by those UK weapons

Ukrainian are courageous and would die for defending their Homeland(Actor) That's the difference. Russian army want to invades(Boss)

The fight is never between Ukraine and Russia. Nah EU+UK-Ukrain VS RUSSIA

Lol. Let me say it before those Morons will come and say it "Fake News, Propaganda"

World power that is using unexperienced soldiers that can be likened to "NYSC corps members" to wage war.

Yes. The soldiers are bombing civilian residential houses which is a crime so as to force Ukraine to stop supporting their president and give out it Sovereignty to Russia.

Breaking news, Ukraine is not like Nigeria where some citizens clamoring for independence are fighting the government by killing oppositions, Stopping our Young ones from taking external exam and imposing forced sit at home on the people they are fighting for. Ukraine has integrity and are determined to defend their independence no matter the cost

It's only on nairaland Ukraine is winning the conflict. Check anywhere else online. Western media is pathetic.

Trash as usual

You are fighting NATO not Ukraine.You can't win baba.Just withdraw your soldiers and beg for forgiveness.
Those who said the western media is running a fake news,what do you have to say now?

Any city that Russian troops seizes,they are dead already because Ukrainian soldiers will mobilize and surround them and start shooting at them.Snipers will first bring down their commanders to weakened the troops Morales.

This is clearly fake news,
Russia has not started this war yet,
Take a close look at the commanders that are being killed, they are more often than not members of fringe militias from Belarus or such countries, like the ones they called the 'nazi brigade' to make it seem fierce!
Russia has not rolled out the red Army yet, it would be foolish to do that now,

I hope Ukrainians take their country back from this Hollywood puppet called Zelensky

Don't mind them.
If Nigeria could loose Generals to a ragtag group like Boko Haram and to bandits so why must it be a surprising thing that Russia has lost 8 generals in a war with Ukraine backed by over 32 plus Countries of the world.
If truely Ukraine is winning this war, why then is the world crying over Ukraine?

With Good. Military strategy and planning Nigeria can defeat Russia

As long as the Politicians don't bring their Tribal Shenanigans into it

If Boko Haram, Bandits, IPOB and Kidnappers are all fighting with Nigeria on it's side , Nigeria can defeat Russia in less than 6 Months

If the British have our back we can defeat Russia in 3 months


Seriously!!

Elvictor:

Russia is the invader here who took several months preparing and surrounding Ukraine in the pretext of carrying out routine drills.


After the whole preparation and taking Ukraine unawares, the world is surprised at the huge loss Russia incurred within days despite being alleged as second most powerful nation in terms of military might.



So nobody is saying that Ukraine is winning. Ukraine winning here means Ukraine have done more than expected from an underdog nation like them against a supposed superpower nation like Russia.


This invasion have exposed Russian military as weak and outdated. If not for the nukes, NATO and EU would have invaded Russia by now.
