Russian President Vladimir Putin attends a meeting on the current situation in Russia's iron and steel industry via videoconference in the Kremlin in Moscow, Russia, on Wednesday.  

Daily Mail: Growing number of Kremlin insiders 'feel Ukraine invasion was a 'catastrophic' mistake and fear Putin could use NUKES... but Vladimir is dismissing all criticism of his plan' 

* Kremlin insiders said Ukraine invasion will 'doom' Russia to years of isolation 

* They warn Russia will be left with a crippled economy due to global sanctions 

* It comes as Russian force's death toll rose to 20,900 according to Kyiv estimates 

A growing number of senior Kremlin insiders are said to feel Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine was a 'catastrophic' mistake, and fear the Russian strongman could resort to using nuclear weapons as Moscow's position worsens. 

The insiders said Putin is dismissing all criticism by officials who warn of the damaging political and economic cost of his war plan, which they fear could set Russia back for years amid growing military losses and crippling Western sanctions. 

The ten sources, who wished to remain anonymous, told Bloomberg that they believe Putin will continue with his invasion and the move will 'doom' Russia to years of isolation and tension with other countries.
