Beast from the East! Panicking Putin 'calls up OBESE 280lbs retired general, 67, to lead forces in Ukraine' after 'most of his best and battle-hardened senior commanders are killed' in war
- Putin has called an obese, 20-stone former general out of retirement to fight
- General Pavel likes to eat five meals a day and wash it down with a litre of vodka
- Overall commander of Russian forces in Ukraine also reported to be dismissed
- The 'Butcher of Aleppo' will be replaced by a 'corrupt and brutal' general
- Last week the commander of Russian airborne forces was reportedly sacked
- Reports suggest between 11 and 14 Russian generals have been killed in action
Putin has called an obese general out of retirement to take command of forces in Ukraine after yet another round of purges of top commanders has left him 'scraping the barrel'.
The 20 stone General Pavel, 67, has been summoned from his comfortable life in the Moscow suburbs and told to don his specially-made army fatigues and go to the front lines of eastern Ukraine.
He will now take charge of Russian special forces operating in the region after the unit's former commander was seriously injured in an artillery strike.
A veteran of the Soviet Union's ill-fated invasion of Afghanistan in the 1980s and a member of Russia's special forces, General Pavel has let himself go considerably since retirement five years ago.
He is understood to eat five meals a day and polish it all off with a litre of vodka. Since coming back to the service, he has had to have his uniform specially made and he needs to wear two sets of body armour to ensure his torso is protected.
A senior intelligence source last night told the Daily Star Sunday: 'Putin is now scraping the barrel.
General Pavel, 67 and 20 stone, has been called out of retirement by Vladimir Putin after yet another round of purges of top commanders has left him 'scraping the barrel. He is understood to eat five meals a day and polish it all off with a liter of vodka. Since coming back to the service, he has had to have his uniform specially made and he needs to wear two sets of body armor to ensure his torso is protected. 
Putin, pictured here during his meeting with Belarus President Aleksander Lukashenko yesterday, has been firing commanders at an unprecedented rate and has been reduced to bringing unfit generals out of retirement to replace them
'Most of his best and battle-hardened senior commanders have been killed or injured fighting in Ukraine so he is resorting to sending second rate officers to the front who don't last very long.
'Putin is like a mafia boss who no one can refuse to obey. If a retired general gets a message from Putin saying mother Russia needs you to fight in Ukraine there is not much you can do. There is no escape from Russia thanks to the sanctions.'
