PANICKY Putin has cancelled a major press conference as the tyrant stares a coup in the face after a massive Ukrainian counter attack.
The Russian leader was due to conduct the annual chat this month but he has reportedly chosen to postpone it for several months.

Russian news outlet Kommersant cited sources within the Kremlin that claimed it could be delayed until December.
They said the live journalistic forum was being postponed until the “Russian military situation is more stable”.
Analysts at the Institute for the Study of War think-tank told Sky News that Putin was set to hold the news conference early this month after Russian forces allegedly captured Bakhmut.
However, the planned onslaught in the eastern region largely failed and became drawn out until Wagner thugs got involved.
The experts said: “It indicates that the Kremlin may perceive the capture Bakhmut as an insufficient informational victory to compensate for the overall unstable Russian military situation in Ukraine.
“It further illustrates Putin’s decline from a seemingly involved and strong leader to one more often portrayed as minutely involved in small infrastructure projects.”
