Putin is still on the Russians, but 2 factors make the losses - British intelligence

To spread: the department reported that the Kremlin tries to make losses in the live power invisible. Preserving the lives of their own citizens is not in priority in the Russian Federation. Russian President Vladimir Putin hides the losses of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation from his own society. This was reported on March 20 in the UK Ministry of Defense Intelligence report.

It is noted that the Russian army probably lost 900,000 fighters killed and wounded since February 2022, when it broke into the territory of Ukraine. Of these, according to British intelligence, 200-250 thousand are dead. "Russia's greatest losses since World War II," the press service emphasized. The British Defense Ministry has suggested that Putin and the military leadership of the Russian Federation set entire wars above the life of their military.

"They are almost probably ready to endure continuously high losses until it has a negative impact on the support of society or the elite of war, and these losses can be compensated," intelligence said. According to her, the Kremlin gives the lives of representatives of ethnic minorities from poor regions "much less importance. " Therefore, such citizens are more actively recruited in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

At the same time, the so-called Slavic Russians, including the inhabitants of Moscow and St. Petersburg, are much less involved in the war. The report of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine dated March 20 states that the loss of the enemy in the live force since February 24, 2022 is about 899470. Recall that Newsweek calculated how many times Ukrainian UAVs attacked the refinery in Russia, and published a map of these attacks.
