Bruce Jones, one of the UK’s top Russia analysts, told the Mirror: “I have been told by very senior and well-informed sources that there have been a number of defections of both Russian diplomats and intelligence officers.
“Some of them are known about publicly but in the background there are many more, possibly more than 20 and this is indicative of an extremely hazardous time for the Kremlin.
“It is likely this is being kept quiet for obvious reasons but these defections are not just to the west but across Asia as well.”
In one Ukrainian strike alone on New Year’s Day as many as 500 troops died after apparently giving away their location by using their mobile phones.
A Ukrainian source told the Mirror: “Losses of up to 500 in one strike are a disaster, a genuine blow to Putin and his position is becoming precarious.
“Defections do reflect this as people become increasingly nervous about the future of their country and it is not looking positive for Putin.
“If something happens to him and those close to him it will happen very fast and from within but these military defeats are a very poor reflection on his decision to go to war.”

“There will be among them diplomats and intelligence people who are looking for an alternative.”
It comes as troop losses in Ukraine frontline are soaring towards 110,000 and increasingly Putin is relying on Wagner Group mercenaries.
