Mr Sweeney shared his thoughts on life in the Ukrainian capital currently under siege from Russia, after being briefly detained and released by the Ukrainian army. He said that it is actually Putin and not Zelenskyy who should be worried as he has failed to win the support of the Russian people.
He posted a video on Twitter on Friday afternoon stating “Putin is in trouble”.
He said it had been a “tough old day for Ukraine”.
Mr Sweeney and a friend had gone to the river Dnieper, which flows through Kyiv, to investigate reports of some fighting.
He said they had seen many Ukrainians hiding in underground stations from the Russian army.
Tough old day. I got arrested by the Ukrainian army for filming them: "Are you a Russian spy?" No etc. They were nicer than Putin. I got a cup of tea. Spent time at Ukraine Int HQ as they checked me out. Never mind. #Putin's war is not going well.

As he approached the river and started filming he was stopped by the Ukrainian army and arrested on suspicion of being a Russian spy.
After being detained at Ukrainian Intelligence HQ he was released, commenting that they were “nicer than Putin” and they even gave him a cup of tea.
He added in the video: “Vladimir Putin’s driving these people mad.
“However, I think the person who is in trouble is not President Zelenskyy of Ukraine, it’s not even John Sweeney who spent an hour or two in Ukrainian Intelligence Service Headquarters.

“The person in trouble is Vladimir Putin.
“He has not sold this war to his people and they don’t like it, and he’s not hitting Kyiv with all that he could because I think he’s afraid to do so.
“So Vladimir Putin, you’re in trouble.”
