It requires a great deal of money."

Putin has lost a MILLION men - Ukraine has killed so many it is running out of ammo Ms Mordaunt, who was defence secretary during Theresa May's premiership, urged the UK to turn up the heat on the tyrant. She told The Sun: "You need to be wide-eyed about what Putin is trying to achieve. Advertisement "But you also need to put pressure on him. It's his war. It's always been his war to end.
