17:50Now PlayingFormer MI6 Boss, Sir Richard Dearlove says it's time to ignore the "propaganda" being spread by Russia over its military advances in Ukraine, and suggested Vladimir Putin does not have a strong hand in ceasefire talks.
Sir Richard told Gillian Joseph on The World that the slow progress being made by the Russian Army on the battlefield means it would take 80 years to conquer Ukraine.
