Latest Ukraine-Russia war: Paranoid Putin ‘sees spies everywhere’ as Russian invasion invades Lysychansk

PUTIN becomes increasingly paranoid and suspicious, an expert claims, as the despotic dictator begins to see spies “everywhere.”

According to the Daily Mail, an academic closely associated with one of Putin’s top scientists claims: ‘Putin sees spies everywhere.

“Top scientists were officially urged to collaborate with top foreign partners [and] did that

“Now they are accused of espionage.”

This comes as Russian forces begin to surround the Ukrainian city of Lysychansk, Ukraine’s last major stronghold in the Luhansk region.

This would be a major loss for the Ukrainian armed forces, which want to maintain some influence in the eastern region of the country.
