  • Ramzan Kadyrov is a top ally of Putin.

  • Two troop deaths and six injuries were admitted by him.

  • The pressure is on for Putin to attack Ukraine.

A top Putin ally admitted troop losses and called for a change in tactics in Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Ramzan Kadyrov, leader of Russia's Chechen Republic and a supporter of President Vladimir Putin, said in a Telegram post early Tuesday that two of his Chechen fighters had been killed and six were injured.

There are reports that suggest bigger losses for Kadyrov's forces. The Ukrainian side reported that a column of Chechen armor had been destroyed.

The executive director of the investigative collective Bellingcat posted a video of burned-out vehicles apparently belonging to the Chechens, which he said were destroyed in a drone attack with many casualties.

Kadyrov called on Ukrainians to fight for Russia against what he called a "tactic of imaginary integration with the West" in his post.

It held a message that was aimed at Putin and advocated a new strategy for Russia.

I believe that a new order is needed, without further ado, he wrote.

He said that it was necessary to destroy the Nazis and terrorists to liberate the cities.

His posting about deaths is an admission of sorts for the leader. According to Foreign Policy magazine, his forces have been deployed in many of Putin's special operations and have built a fearsome reputation that is often used as propaganda.

According to NBC News, US intelligence shows that Putin is angry at the slow progress of his attack.

The assessment of the UK Ministry of Defence on Monday was that the Russian advance was being hampered by obstinate failures and Ukrainian resistance.

Kadyrov expressed frustration with the situation on Telegram on Monday, when he claimed Russian forces were merely fiddling with Ukraine, and called for a decisive assault.

The reports of Putin's frustration have led to speculation that he may launch an even more brutal attack, which has already sparked a call for an International Criminal Court investigation into war crimes.
