Among them are 11 generals: the army of the Russian Federation has lost almost 2000 officers in Ukraine - NATO official
Since December 2022, he noted, the Russian Federation lost almost 300,000 servicemen-more than half of the invaders sent to the Russian-Ukrainian war. At the same time, the interlocutor noted that since April this year the number of dead Russian soldiers has decreased somewhat, since the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation abandoned the offensive actions.
He stated that most of the losses of Russians occur in the period after December 2022, but at the same time the Russian Federation "demonstrated readiness and continued to go to significant sacrifices. " "Putin is the most in the world, as before, that Russia can be defeated to Ukraine, at least in the East, although it seems that its generals do not always adequately inform him about the real state of affairs in the field," the Natovets said.
He added that Ukraine, unlike the aggressor, successfully returns its lands and does so based on the excellent knowledge of its territory and weather conditions. "Ukraine returns territories. Doing it methodically, step by step, gradually, and the weapons we have provided to it have allowed it to be more territories in the last three months than the Russians were able to capture in eight months during the autumn-winter offensive last year.
So This is very significant, " - said the representative of the North Atlantic Bloc. He stressed that Ukrainian military losses are much smaller than Russian. "And I know that the Alliance countries continue to train Ukrainian troops so that they can go into battle as soon as possible and try to solve the problems that cause concern," NATO official added. He noted that Russia does not really have enough ammunition to perform successful offensive actions.
"Despite the mobilization of the defensive industry, the Russian Federation is still not in line about the mobilization of conscripts, "the interlocutor said. At the same time, he noted that the strikes of Russian invaders on critical infrastructure facilities in Ukraine will continue. "Moscow believes that it is an effective strategy for weakening Ukraine's will to fight. Therefore, it is critical that Ukraine is able to maintain effective air defense," NATO said.
He summed up: NATO sees its key assistance in enhancing Ukraine's air defense - its support and deployment, in particular with Patriot systems. We will remind, Focus wrote that President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced the winter battle with Russia. According to the President, a strong air defense of Ukraine will not allow Russian rockets and drones to destroy infrastructure and prevent attacks on neighboring countries.
In addition, Focus spoke about the results of Ramstin, which took place on October 11 in Brussels. On October 9, it became known that the United States decided to combine two help packages to provide additional funding for Israel, and to return financial assistance to Kiev, against which some representatives of the Republicans had previously opposed.
