Every weekday the Telegraph’s top journalists analyse the Russian invasion of Ukraine from all angles and tell you what you need to know
Today on Ukraine: The Latest, we bring you latest updates from the warzone, analyse the sacking of Major General Ivan Popov, and discuss morale and casualty rates among Russian forces during the Ukrainian counter-offensive.
First, Assistant Comment Editor Francis Dearnley sums up the latest update from the British MOD:
According to the British Ministry of Defence, Russia may be worried for the safety of its nuclear submarines after the mutiny by Wagner mercenaries last month.
They understand that submarines from Moscow’s Northern Fleet will not take part in this month’s Navy Day Fleet Review in St. Petersburg for the first time in its six year history. Now, the MOD say this could reflect the need to keep submarines on standby for operations, but adds that it could be because of security.
