The Russian army has lost 90% of personnel from the beginning of the war against Ukraine - the media
The consequences of the attack on Ukraine generally rejected Russian military modernization 18 years ago. The Russian Embassy and the Ministry of Defense of Russia did not respond to requests. Russian officials have stated that Western estimates of the Russian victims in the war are significantly exaggerated and almost always underestimate Ukrainian losses, which, according to Russian officials, are huge.
The spokesman of the National Security Council Adrien Watson, as reported by CNN, since the beginning of the active offensive, Russian units have lost 13 thousand soldiers only in the Avdiivka area. From October, the occupiers remained without 220 combat vehicles, which is approximately equal to 6 shunting battalions. According to him, Russia believes that the military dead end during the winter is exhausted the support of the event for Ukraine.
This can, as they think in Moscow, give the occupiers the advantage, despite the loss and constant lack of trained personnel, ammunition and equipment. The UK Ministry of Defense reported that from the beginning of a full -scale invasion of November 2023, Russia's troops could lose up to 350,000 military. The Britain's Defense Ministry stated that from February 24, 2022 to November 2023, the occupation units could lose from 180 thousand to 240 thousand people wounded and about 50 thousand killed.
Wagner's private military company probably suffered losses at the level of about 40,000 fighters wounded and 20,000 killed. British intelligence believes that in total, the Russian side could have from 220 to 280 thousand wounded and about 70,000 killed. We will remind, the journalist stated that the losses do not frighten the invaders, but they are restrained by the strikes of cassette ammunition of the United States.
