Putin says Russia is 'ready to offer' allies "modern types of weapons"

Dozens of soldiers from Vladimir Putin's sadistic private army were blown up after the location of their HQ was accidentally revealed, it has been claimed.

Wagner Group fighters have reportedly been the target of a devastating rocket attack after photos inadvertently pointing to their base were posted online.

Oligarch and mercenary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin - dubbed 'Putin's leader' - was originally believed to be among around 100 dead in the Ukrainian attack in which a US-supplied missile system has been deployed.

This comes after The Mirror revealed that a senior Kremlin official had secretly approached the West to help stop the invasion of Ukraine.

A Kyiv official confirmed the attack on the Wagner base in Popasna, eastern Ukraine, in response to reports from Russia.

Kremlin propagandist Sergei Sreda had shared photos after a visit to the hidden site, with one showing it by a road sign alongside Russian mercenaries.

He said, "I got to Popsana. I went to Wagner HQ. They welcomed me like family, told me some funny stories."
