Putin is said to be furious at the slow pace of his campaign, which he had hoped to end within days given his country’s military superiority – on paper at least – and has fired at least eight generals since waging war on the former Soviet state, intelligence sources claim. 

Russia has already accused the West of using its civilian space infrastructure to support the operations of the Ukrainian troops, including for combat strikes, and detecting the locations of Vladimir Putin’s army and its movements.

A police source told MailOnline: ‘Katie Price was arrested a few weeks ago for breaching a restraining order placed against her following an argument with the fiancée of her former partner, Kieran Hayler. 

April 8 (Reuters) – Russia is considering raising its base price for calculating the wheat export tax to 17,000 roubles ($212.23) per tonne from 15,000 roubles per tonne, the Vedomosti daily reported, citing two unnamed sources in exporting companies.

The theme is one Putin has frequently discussed, not least when he suggested in speeches before the invasion that Ukraine was an artificial construct and an ‘inalienable part’ of Russian history and culture.

Warring Vladimir Putin is healthy, sane and ‘in better shape than ever’, his closest European ally has claimed – on the same day he reportedly fired a nuclear-capable hypersonic missile in Ukraine, in a terrifying first.

Boris Johnson suggested the growingly desperate leader – who has yet to make any significant inroads in Ukraine – is being ‘irrational’, while Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte described him as ‘totally paranoid’.

In his interview, Lukashenko – who allowed Russia to use his country as a staging post for the Ukraine invasion on February 24 – boasted that he and Putin were ‘friends’ as he bemoaned the break-up of the Soviet Union in 1991.
