 Russia on the run: Putin's troops forced to RETREAT from parts of eastern Ukraine following rapid counter-offensive, as experts hail 'major turning point' in the war - one which could leave Kremlin facing humiliating defeat

• Russian lines are crumbling as Ukraine makes huge advances in the east
• Ukraine reportedly has captured key strategic towns of Izium and Kupiansk 
• Russian MoD has admitted their troops are in full retreat in the Kharkiv region
• They described the demoralising collapse and retreat as a 're-grouping' 
• Putin's forces have lost control of an estimated 3,000 square kilometres in days 

• Ukraine has made stunning advances in a rapid counter-offensive that has caught the Kremlin by surprise, with intelligence experts hailing a 'major turning point' in the six-month war.

  It has led to the recapture of several key towns in the east as Vladimir Putin's forces fled in disarray from a collapsing frontline.

  The speed of advance, with photographs shared by Kyiv officials of their troops raising the Ukrainian flag in liberated towns after advancing more than 30 miles, has sparked open talk in Moscow that their invasion will end in humiliating defeat.
