DESPERATE Vladimir Putin is attempting to use adverts on Pornhub in a frantic bid to recruit more men to fight in Ukraine.
The tyrant is desperate to get more troops onto the battlefield to replenish ranks as he continues to suffer huge losses.
The feared Wagner Group placed a provocative advert on the popular porn site Pornhub to try and convince more men to sign up.
Viewers are told to stop pleasuring themselves and instead join the private army.
The ad from the pro-Kremlin private army shows a blonde woman wearing red lipstick rolling a large lollipop over her tongue.
A female voice can be heard in the background saying: "We are the coolest army in the world.

"We are recruiting fighters from all regions of Russia.
"Don’t whack off, go work for PMC Wagner."
A phone number for Wagner recruiters then pops up.
The strategy of recruiting via multiple porn sites was backed by Putin's henchman Yevgeny Prigozhin.

He said: "Placing ads for Wagner PMC [private military company] on porn sites is a very good idea from our marketers.
“I absolutely completely agree with them, and this ad says: ‘Go to war, stop ****ing off.’
“Who does not agree with this argument?”
The commercial was shown to Russian users before they viewed explicit content on the Canadian-owned site.
Pornhub said today it had now been "deleted" because “political advertising is prohibited on the site”.
It comes as the UK's Ministry of Defence this week said Prigozhin, the group's leader, had "likely" lost access to recruiting in Russian prisons due to his "ongoing disputes with Russian MoD leadership" and has turned his attention to schools.
Its intelligence update on Monday added: "Prigozhin is highly likely pivoting recruitment efforts towards free Russian citizens.
"Since the start of March 2023, Wagner has set up outreach teams based in sports centres in at least 40 locations across Russia.
"In recent days, masked Wagner recruiters also gave career talks in Moscow high schools, distributing questionnaires entitled 'application of a young warrior' to collect the contact details of interested pupils."
Thousands of male prisoners have been recruited to fight in Ukraine and were offered a deal which pardons their horrific crimes if they serve and manage to stay alive for six months.
This has seen murderers, rapists and other violent criminals released and ultimately freed by Putin.
The majority of them have been recruited to the Wagner private army.

However, for any recruits that try to surrender, defect, escape or simply use their phones, Wagner's commanders have made their punishments visible and merciless.
Their methods have included cutting off fingers, castrations, skinned prisoners alive or bludgeoned them with a sledgehammer.
The militia group, founded in 2014, cut its teeth in Crimea and then in proxy wars across Africa and the Middle East – all the while collecting accusations of war crimes and gross human rights abuses from the UN.
They have largely been involved in Russia's eastern offensive, including in the bloodiest battles for Soledar and Bakhmut, which Ukrainian soldiers referred to as "hell on earth".
Satellite images show the horrific devastation in the city of Bakhmut, which Prigozhin raged is a "killing zone".
Chilling before and after pictures of the area – once home to more than 70,000 people – show the green landscape churned up into a shell-pitted mud bath.
The MoD said Wagner forces have seized most of eastern Bakhmut.
