Pentagon Says Russian Military Activity Is Now More Focused On The Eastern Part Of The Country

Ukraine has disabled 20 Russian battalions, Western officials said today, as a Kremlin army chief hinted that Moscow may scale back its all-out attack on its neighbour and instead focus on 'liberating' the eastern Donbas region.

Daily Mail: Vladimir Putin on the run? Russia says it will scale back its Ukraine invasion to focus on 'liberating' the eastern Donbas region 'and save face' after losing 20 BATTALIONS... but Western intelligence warns it could all be part of a trap 

* Russia's defence ministry also updated its losses in Ukraine to 1,351 soldiers, adding 3,825 had been wounded 

* Russia's figure is far lower than Western estimates that say tens of thousands have been killed in the war 

* Moscow today attempted to put a positive spin on its disastrous invasion,saying it had achieved its targets 

* In another embarrassing blow, it was revealed today that a Russian brigade commander had died after being run down with a tank by his own troops 

The Russian military hinted that Moscow may scale back its invasion of Ukraine and instead focus on 'liberating' the eastern Donbas region in a potential face-saving climbdown amid Western claims that Putin's military has been devastated and 20 battalions have been wiped out. 

Russia's defence ministry also updated its losses in Ukraine to 1,351 soldiers, adding that 3,825 soldiers had been wounded - figures that are far lower than Western intelligence estimates that put Moscow's losses in the tens of thousands. 

In a military update today, Moscow attempted to put a positive spin on its disastrous invasion saying that the first phase of its military campaign in Ukraine was over.

If I were Putin, I would say time for peace before general situation gets more unpredictable than it is.
