" The loss of thousands of soldiers a day Putin can accept, because if the commanders of the enemy throw enough troops on a certain line for a long time, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are moving.

According to some reports, for the Russians, the number of attempts destroyed in an attempt to seize a certain settlement of the invaders is even a matter of pride. It is noted that for Russian assault units, losses of 80% or more are common. The wounded occupiers are forced to go on the offensive even on crutches, the authors add. Journalists have specified that most of those who throw in the meat grinder are contractors.

" "From Putin's point of view, it is a slow, grueling promotion is a winning strategy. It conquers the territory and expects that Ukraine will face a political crisis in the coming months. If the future ceasefire is freezing the existing situation, they will also be a day. Expect the continuation of bloodshed, " - forbes emphasized.
