Ukraine news latest — Desperate Putin launches ‘MAJOR new pervasive campaign for recruits’ as Russian losses mount

VLADIMIR Putin has been forced to launch a “major new drive for volunteer recruits” as Russia’s losses continue to mount in Ukraine. The UK’s ministry of defence claimed the Russian adverts are appealing to recruits that are “real men”. In their latest intelligence update for the war in Ukraine the Ministry said: “The Russian MoD has launched a major new drive for volunteer recruits. A pervasive campaign has seen advertising appear on Russian social media sites, on billboards, and on TV. “The new adverts appeal to potential recruits’ masculine pride, appealing for ‘real men’, as well as highlighting the financial benefits of joining up.” It comes as Ukraine’s armed forces claimed today that Russian losses had exceeded 185,000 after a further 680 troops were killed in Putin’s bloody war.
