Vladimir Putin is offering soldiers cash to steal land from Ukraine.

The Russian despot will give troops around £500 for every kilometre of territory they manage to steal from the war-torn country in a bid to increase his depleted army.

Moscow has lost approximately 700,000 troops in the Ukraine war, with 70 per cent of these men being injured so badly that they are unable to return to the battlefield.

The bizarre new campaign has been advertised in several areas of Russia and appeared on the Telegram channel of the Siberian news network Tayga.

One flyer reveals that a soldier will now get a sign-up bonus of £3,000, with a monthly salary of £2,200.

For every advance into Ukraine, troops will be rewarded with around £500 per kilometre under the rules of "active participation in assault operations".

The post from Tayga news states: "The Novosibirsk Mayor's office sends requests to managing organisations of residential buildings to place advertisements for service in the army under a contract on bulletin boards at the front doors and at the entrances.

"The advertisement offers to participate in a 'special operation' in Ukraine."
