Russia could be running out of missiles: UK Defence Chief

London: Russia is acting tough in Ukraine, showing no signs of stopping despite almost ten weeks into fighting.

However, all is not well at home where Putin's generals may well be blaming each other as the nation could possibly be running out of missiles and equipment to continue the war.

Generals may be fearing of being 'purged' for the failed invasion, Daily Mail reported based on an interview of Britain's Admiral Sir Tony Radakin with Talk TV.

Britain's Chief of the Defence Staff said there was 'incredible pressure' in Russia for the war to deliver results.

As the war is raging, Putin according to him is in a "logistics war' to keep supplying missiles and other equipment to the front.

The toughness of fight and rate of expenditure are different to the one Putin perceived back on February 24, which is becoming a problem to the Russian leader, according to Admiral Radakin.

Meanwhile Britain's Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said Russian general were blaming each other over failure in Ukraine.

During his visit to Finland Wallace said Russia's top official were scapegoats for the failed invasion.

Admiral Radakin talked about 'real risks' of Russians gaining ground in the Donbas in eastern Ukraine—the new focus of the war.

However, according to him, they had no time to make improvement having been driven back from the capital.

He doubted Putin's 'rushed manner' would help him achieve victory in Ukraine.

The report further said UK Prime Minster Boris Johnson discussed situation in the battle field with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

UK PM noted how Ukraine's democratic values remain a counterweight to Russia's failing autocracy.

Both leaders reportedly talked about Ukraine's requirements including longer-range weaponry to stop Russian bombardments of civilians.
