Putin has been brutally mocked over the "humiliation of Russia's military machine" during the war in Ukraine, with one expert branding it "an incredible turning point in history".

Russia's President confirmed the world's worst fears three months ago when he gave the green light for more than 100,000 troops massed on the Ukrainian border to invade the country. Much of Ukraine has been reduced to rubble from intense fighting and missile strikes, with millions fleeing the country in terrifying fear of Vladimir Putin's brutal regime.

Putin has also lost more than 20,000 troops in the war, including dozens of high-ranking military officials, dealing a bitter hammer blow to Russia's fortunes on the frontline.
