The Russian spacecraft Progress M-27M, which attempted to deliver cargo to the International Space Station (ISS), faces fiery death on Friday:
A Russian spacecraft that has been out of control since launching last week will fall back to Earth and burn up on Friday, scientists say. The unmanned cargo ship was launched from Kazakhstan last Tuesday, but contact was lost with it soon afterwards. The spacecraft, carrying three tonnes of equipment, will disintegrate as it enters Earth's atmosphere.
The craft was spotted by the ISS days ago. This was the 150th launch of a Progress craft.

Wouldn't it have been shorter to just write Putin?

Out of Western control, maybe, but Vladimir Vladimirovich is very much in control of himself.
