Russia's army could collapse amid huge losses of more than 30,000 troops in Ukraine, according to a confidential UK report that emerged on Monday.
While Moscow's latest estimated troop losses make grim reading for President Vladimir Putin, the report claims he sees them as a 'price worth paying' for victory.
However, the new report - a secretive analysis of Putin's brutal invasion seen by The Mirror - claims that the losses could be too great for his soldiers, amid other reports that Russian morale is low.
Latest estimates from the Ukraine's Armed Forces suggest as many as 30,350 Russian soldiers have been killed since the invasion was launched on February 24, which came after more than 100,000 of the Kremlin's troops massed on the border.
In addition, several thousand Russian military vehicles - including tanks, aircraft and mobile artillery units - have been destroyed in Putin's so-called 'special military operation' that has dragged into its fourth month.
In the latest example of heavy Russian losses, it was reported on Monday that a Ukrainian paratrooper regiment destroyed a Russian regiment.
Former Ukrainian journalist and editor, and a Ukraine Army veteran, Viktor Kovalenko claimed: 'The Ukrainian 80th Paratrooper-Storm Brigade confirms that they annihilated a unit of the Russian 104 Paratrooper-Storm Regiment (76th Division).'
He said around 20 Ukrainian servicemen were killed and their armour destroyed in the attack. The location of the assault was not reported.

Guess they’re stupid. Can’t they just go nuke as a fallback? Tactical?
Was the author Christopher Steele?
Great! Now Ukraine doesn’t need our $40 billion.
man, I wish I could get a prop bet on that.
Coulda, woulda, shoulda.
We shall see if a 1.6% loss will cause a countrywide mutiny.
Latest estimates from the Ukraine’s Armed Forces suggest
could
MMMOOOOOOOoooooooooooo plop plop plop.....
Because it’s Coming from the daily mail it goes on my cutting room floor asap.
I’m not sure does the writer expect “Golden Showers” to rain on the Russian soldiers and kill them.
Regardless this has something to do with British Intelligence as Mr. Steele certainly does.
Chances of being honest reporting - 0%
Here's an example: take ISW (the Kagan-Nuland outfit) and their latest assessment from May 30th. If you scroll all the way down to the footnotes, you'll see that of their 24 sources, 16 reference Facebook posts by the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Similarly lopsided ratios can be seen on many of their prior assessments as well.
I want some of whatever they are smoking.
Interesting Duran video today that fleshed out Ukraine’s new plans.
Zelensky says he recognized that there will have to be negotiations but he has a plan to counter attack and take back some territory in order to improve his negotiating position.
So Ukraine has begun some attempts. They just made an attack on Russia’s forces in Kherson in order to regain control. The attack was on open ground and they suffered large losses and retreated.
Russia discovered the command center that controlled the counter attack and struck it with missiles destroying the entire compound.

🇷🇺🇺🇦❗The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation confirmed the fact of the strike on the operational control point of the Operational Command “South” of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Novy Bug, which was reported in the morning. According to the information received, 37 officers, including 3 generals, were killed as a result of the strike.
This is worse than Baghdad Bob.
The Ukraine better hope they collapse! And dam quick!
This just another attempt to get Ukraine to fight to the last Ukraine in a desperate attempt to, somehow, harm Russia. It's all 100% disinformation. All this nonsense is doing is preventing a Ukrainian surrender and resulting in more Ukrainian deaths and a greater loss of territory for the Ukrainians.
Russia will control all of Donbass, Kherson and Zaporozhye and entire Black Sea coastline. Even if NATO, foolishly, got involved militarily, that would end up being the case.,P> The British media is going have no credibility left after this war.
Western mass media has been engaged in magical thinking—mind reading and wild speculation.
These days we would be better served by witch doctors with goat entrails.
