Putin Fires One Of His Generals, Deputy Head Of National Guard Unit Who Has Suffered Major Losses In Ukraine Is Canned Amid Claims He 'Leaked Information That Led To Loss Of Life' And 'Squandered Fuel'

Russia has reportedly fired one of its top generals as the country's invasion of Ukraine continues to be met with fierce resistance.

General Roman Gavrilov, 45, the deputy chief of Vladimir Putin's Rosgvardia force - or National Guard - was detained amid claims he had 'leaked information' and 'squandered' much-needed fuel.

News of his arrest by the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation (FSB) was reported by three trusted sources, according to investigative news website Bellingcat.

But the real reason for his alleged sacking remains unclear - while a Russian official has since denied he was let go.

One source said he was fired over alleged leaks of military intel which 'led to loss of life', while two others said he was cuffed for 'wasteful squandering of fuel.'

Philip Ingram, a security expert and former senior British intelligence officer, told The Times last week that Vladimir Putin was obviously 'very angry' and blaming his intelligence agencies for his stalling Ukraine invasion

Since entering Ukraine, the Rosgvardia force has suffered significant losses of life in the face of Ukrainian resolve.

Gavrilov became deputy chief of the National Guard last June, according to the unit's website, after serving 10 years in the country's Federal Guard Service.

The military unit spearheaded Russia's initial assault on its eastern European neighbour, which Putin had hoped would be over within days.

But three weeks later, Ukraine is holding strong with Russia yet to take any major city or strategic location.

According to ura.ru, Russian State Duma deputy Alexander Khinshtein denied that Gavrilov was arrested, writing on Telegram: 'Absolutely fake. I just talked to General Gavrilov myself.'

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

Putin was 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.

'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.

It comes as Western officials suggested today that Russia may not be able to mount an all-out attack on Kyiv as its demoralised troops suffer increasing casualties and become bogged down outside the Ukrainian capital.

Intelligence suggests Putin's troops are only making small advances without a major strategic breakthrough in the face of 'fierce and mobile' Ukrainian resistance.

The Pentagon estimates at least 7,000 Russian troops have now died in the fighting while another 14,000 to 21,000 have been wounded.
