With the Russo-Ukrainian war reportedly taking a turn in Ukraine’s favor, "certain people from [Putin’s] inner circle" have allegedly turned to the bottle to cope with their military’s heavy and significant losses.

According to Meduza, an independent Russian media outlet, Putin’s inner circle has reportedly started drinking so heavily that the 69-year-old Russian leader is becoming increasingly frustrated and angry with the drunkard officials’ conduct and lack of discipline.

Inside sources from within the Kremlin have further revealed members of Putin’s inner circle first started drinking in February at the outstart of their invasion into Ukraine, but the drinking has only worsened in recent weeks as Ukraine continues to fight back and regain previously lost territory.

"People have been relieving their stress this way since February,” one Kremlin insider spilled. "Ministers, their subordinates, and even some deputy prime ministers, presidential administration and Security Council members, state corporation heads, and governors have begun to drink more.”

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Putin’s problems with his inner circle within the Kremlin is not the only obstacle plaguing the embattled Russian leader.

Earlier this week, it was revealed that many of Putin’s troops are retreating “en masse” despite the Kremlin’s orders to push forward against Ukraine.

Even more worrying for Putin are reports that his frontline troops are laying down in surrender because they “understand the hopelessness of their situation.”

He added, “The military command of the Russian Federation suspended the dispatch of new, already formed units to the territory of Ukraine.”
