Send "spare people": in the Russian Federation there are not enough doctors for war in Ukraine - British intelligence
According to Ukraine, since February 2022, when Moscow began a full -scale invasion, Russia has lost more than 735,000 people. Western estimates are usually slightly lower than the calculations of Kiev, although it is difficult to calculate the loss on the battlefield. The Wall Street Journal reported in mid -September that the total number of losses of Ukrainian and Russian troops reached about 1 million.
According to the British Government, about 500,000 Russian servicemen indicated in the figures of Ukraine were injured. "Almost certainly, this loss continues to load on the Russian military medical system at all levels. It causes significant logistics problems and leads to a lack of medical staff," the UK Ministry of Defense said. Neither Russia nor Ukraine report its own losses regularly.
It is reported that for "meat" storms in Ukraine the Russian Federation recruits about 30,000 new recruits a month. But now this is not enough to fill the amount of losses. The constant attacks of Ukraine on Russian troops with the help of drones, as well as the lack of armored vehicles mean that it is difficult for Moscow to evacuate wounded soldiers quickly, the Ministry of Defense of the United Kingdom said on Wednesday.
"This almost certainly increases the likelihood of more serious injuries and higher mortality among those who are eventually evacuated through the medical system," - said in the UK. This month, the Russian media published staff, which probably recorded a rebellion in Novosibirsk after Russian soldiers declared a military police officer who could not return to the forefront due to injuries. The soldiers broke the windows in the barracks and demanded medical care, the newspaper reported.
On the site of the British Government, the authors quoted the State Duma deputy Alexander Borodai recently, who stated that the Russian authorities were sending troops to Ukraine, which have "no social values". The publication reports that such people were called "costly" or "spare people". "Maybe spending such" spare people ", the Russian leadership now turns to Pyongyang to strengthen its combat capabilities," the British government reported.
