Russia has lost 250,000 soldiers and 70% of missiles in Ukraine - Admiral of France

Such data are given in the transcript of November 16, 2022 by the EU Military Mission Commander of the French Admiral Erve Bread. "At least 60,000 Russian soldiers were killed and three times more injured, which means that almost 250,000 Russian soldiers are now not capable of combat," the Admiral said in the process of speaking to France National Assembly.

At the same time, the commander said that the loss of the Ukrainian side is harder to calculate - they are smaller than in Russia, but also significant. According to Admiral, Russian armed forces are forced to rely on the supply of weapons from Iran and North Korea, as the army lost 60% of tanks and 70% of missiles. In such circumstances, the invaders have to use anti-aircraft missile systems, but in this case there are major problems with the accuracy of the goals, Bezheman said.

In addition, since the beginning of a full -scale invasion of Ukraine, the enemy's armed forces have lost 40% of armored personnel carriers and 20% of artillery. Bezhean suggested that in the spring of this year the Ukrainian army will restore active offensive actions. However, for this Armed Forces, it is necessary to form three new army buildings with approximately 75 thousand servicemen. According to him, this figure can be compared with the number of land operational group of the French army.

The Admiral believes that the war in Ukraine has become a phase of exhaustion, so this year the Ukrainian Armed Forces will need military support for the Allies, and above all in terms of repair and replacement of damaged or destroyed weapons and equipment. Earlier it was reported that losses among the assault groups of Russian troops in the Bakhmut area were 80% of the total.
