Sky News Defence Analyst Peter Jennings says Russian President Vladimir Putin “can’t rely” on his own military amid growing unrest throughout the nation. “I think the most telling statistic here is that the Russians are losing between 30,000 and 35,000 people killed in battle every month,” Mr Jennings told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. “What this Russian individual, Alexander Lunin, has done has just pointed to the unsustainability of Russian military tactics. “That video was three years to the day from the Wagner Group’s brief revolution against the Russian government. “Lunin’s future itself is probably pretty bleak… but I think the message that Putin will be taking from it is that he can’t rely on his own military.”
