VLADIMIR PUTIN has suffered another bitter humiliation this week after a retired colonel admitted on live state TV that Russia is struggling to replenish its monumental losses in Ukraine and that even a mass mobilisation would not help.

A retired Russian colonel, Mikhail Khodaryonok, has told Russian state TV viewers that the country's military cannot compete with Ukraine's equipment from NATO. In a stark admission on the tightly-controlled propaganda channel Russia-1, Mr Khodaryonok dismantled the idea that a mass mobilisation call-up would bolster Russia's war efforts in Ukraine. This comes amid growing speculation that President Vladimir Putin will announce a mobilisation of the country's reservists tomorrow during the Victory Day parade in Red Square.

In a clip viewed more than a million times online, the senior military expert admitted that Russia is struggling to replenish its colossal losses in Ukraine.

He added that Russia does not have the "pilots or the planes" to send into the battlefield.

Mr Khodaryonok said: "Let's imagine the drumroll, the sound of fanfare, and the mobilisation is declared.

Hopefully. This has been ridiculous, though I’d like to see what the left is hiding in Ukraine.

“NO, I’m NOT advocating sending our men and women to Ukraine to fight Russia. There’s clearly no need to. A Ukraine citizen militia is kicking their asses all on their own.”

Exactly, there is no need for us or any NATO troops in Ukraine.

That would just play into Putin’s hands as he tries to make his war into a Russia vs the world.

Putin is get this butt kicked by the Ukrainians!
