Vladimir Putin is “ready to lose 50,000 troops in Ukraine An invasion after an expired document from the Russian Ministry of Health revealed that Moscow was preparing for “emergency medical care”.
Intelligence chiefs are believed to be ready to lose up to 50,000 troops, while the death toll in Russia could now be around 3,000.
There are fears that Putin will order military commanders to use “chemical weapons” and “attack hospitals” as fighting continues in Ukraine, with Kiev remaining under Ukrainian control.
This was said by weapons expert Hamish de Breton-Gordon The mirror“If Russia sinks, I won’t be surprised if they use chemical weapons.”

There are fears that Vladimir Putin (pictured) will order military leaders to use “chemical weapons” and “attack hospitals” as fighting continues in Ukraine.
It comes as a document signed by Deputy Health Minister Plutnitsky, urging medical companies to “get involved in a timely manner in activities aimed at saving lives and protecting the health of people in Russia.”
Russian medical companies have been ordered to send to the Ministry of Health a list of details of medical professionals and workers so that civilian personnel can be deployed, according to documents received from ITV News.
Emma Burroughs, ITV’s news editor, said documents from February 25 showed that Russia was expecting a “massive health emergency”.
The Ministry of Health is looking for special specialists in trauma, maxillofacial and cardiac trauma, as well as nurses, pediatricians, anesthesiologists and radiologists.
The document says that the deployed workers will be offered travel and accommodation costs and will also be paid by the Federal Center for Medical Disasters.
A military official told ITV News that the letter demonstrated that the Russians “did not expect to face such a level of resistance and loss.”
Kiev’s Defense Ministry has so far estimated Russia’s losses at about 2,800 troops, 80 tanks, 516 armored vehicles and 10 planes and seven helicopters.
Those losses and the continuing failure to take over Kiev have angered Vladimir Putin, according to former Estonian defense chief Riho Terras.
Terrace wrote on Twitter: “Putin is furious, he thought the whole war would be easy and everything would be done in 1-4 days.

“The Russians are shocked by the fierce resistance they have encountered.”
A senior US defense official said Russia was facing more resistance than Moscow had expected when it invaded Ukraine, and seemed to have lost some of its momentum.
In an article entitled Reckless Gambling, Professor Friedman supported this theory.
He writes: “Despite the superiority of the Russian forces, they made less progress than might have been expected on the first day of the war, when they had the advantages of tactical surprise and potentially huge numbers.
The Ukrainians showed fierce resistance and killed the invaders.
Meanwhile, Ukraine’s health minister said 198 people had been killed and more than 1,000 wounded in the Russian offensive. Viktor Lyashko said that three children were among those killed.
His statement is unclear as to whether the victims include military and civilians. He said another 1,115 people, including 33 children, were injured in the Russian invasion.
It was later reported that 19 more civilians had been killed in shelling in eastern Ukraine, while two had been killed in a tower strike early Saturday, killing 219 civilians.
A spokesman for Russia’s Defense Ministry, Major General Igor Konashenkov, said on Saturday that since the beginning of Moscow’s attack, its military has destroyed 821 Ukrainian military sites, 87 tanks and other targets.
Kiev’s army is much lower than its Russian counterpart with an air defense system and an air force dating back to the Soviet era.

Konashenkov did not say how many Ukrainian soldiers were killed and did not mention Russian casualties. Neither his claims nor Ukraine’s claims that its forces killed thousands of Kremlin soldiers can be independently verified.
As fighting raged in Ukraine, a Ukrainian city southwest of Kiev was rocked by two huge explosions shortly after midnight local time on Sunday.
The local newspaper The Kyiv Independent writes that an oil depot was blown up in Vasilkov, a town about 40 kilometers southwest of Kiev. A gas pipeline was also blown up in Kharkiv, a city in eastern Ukraine near the Russian border.
Videos show a cloud of mushrooms filling the city’s sky as the fuel line is destroyed, with a group of people filming the video hearing exclamations of shock as the fireball erupts in the sky.
Ukrainian television station Nexta shared footage of flames and black clouds rising in the sky at the site of Vasilkov’s attack as fuel burned. Since then, he also shared a clip from the moment the oil base was hit, with a bright white glow filling the darkened night sky when the fuel depot caught fire.
Russia was expected to step up its attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure in an attempt to persuade locals to obey.

Vasilkov’s blasts, allegedly triggered by Russian ballistic missiles, filled the skies over Kiev with an eerie orange glow in the early hours of Sunday morning. It is unclear whether anyone was injured or killed in the blasts.
The blasts were first reported by CNN and remained near the second airport in the Ukrainian capital, Borispol International. They took place about 15 minutes apart and a set of car alarms miles from the epicenter of the explosion.
Vasilkov Mayor Natalia Balasinovic told the Independent that her city and airport had been hit hard by ballistic missiles. She said: “The enemy wants to destroy everything around him, but he will not succeed. Hold on!
Vasilkiv suffered heavy Russian bombing in the early hours of Saturday as Russian troops fought to try to seize control of a key strategic point on the road to Kiev.
2.9 million Kiev citizens are facing a new night of terror, as it is claimed that Russia will intensify its bombings on Saturday night and will turn to trade business in an attempt to destroy Ukrainian morality.
Many fled to underground shelters in an attempt to stay safe, although other men and women took to the streets with weapons in an attempt to repel any Russian offensive.
