A former Russian diplomat has warned that President Vladimir Putin will sacrifice 10 to 20 million Russian soldiers to win the war in Ukraine.
Speaking to Sky News' Political Editor Beth Rigby, Boris Bondarev said that Putin "understands that if he loses the war with Ukraine, it will be the end of him."
"You should have no doubt about it. He may sacrifice 10 or 20 million Russians just to win this war just to slaughter all Ukrainians because it's a matter of principle. It's a matter of political survival to him."
Bondarev quit Russia's permanent mission at the United Nations in Geneva over the war in May.
