A former Russian Lieutenant Colonel has said the Russian army is heading towards defeat - and revealed the shocking extent of decay and corruption inside Vladimir Putin's military.
Sergey Gulyaev also praised General Valerie Zaluzhnyi, Ukraine's military boss, for fighting "ten times more intelligently" than Putin's men.
