• Putin has lost nearly 90 per cent of his pre-invasion army, with 315,000 personnel either killed or injured since war began, according to US intelligence. 

  A declassified US intelligence report assessed that Moscow's losses in personnel and armoured vehicles to Ukraine's military have set back Russia's military modernisation by 18 years, a source familiar with the intelligence said on Tuesday.

  Russia has also lost almost two-thirds of its tank force, or 2,200 out of its 3,500 pre-invasion stock, the congressional source said. 

• While it is widely known that Putin's forces have been subject to huge losses in Ukraine, the assessment sheds new light on the extent of those setbacks. 

  The Russian embassy referred a request for comment to the Russian defence ministry in Moscow. The ministry did not respond to requests for comment.
