The Senior Military Advisor of the UK delegation in the OSCE Jan Stabbs said this at a meeting of the Security Cooperation Forum in Vienna, Ukrinform reports. Stabbs noted that attempts of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continued in the Donbass, which are accompanied by great losses of living force.
"Since May last year, only in Bakhmut was killed and injured from 20 to 30 thousand" Wagner "and regular Russian soldiers - these are huge human losses with a total advance of about 25 kilometers," the military advisor said. The diplomat noted that the majority of the loss of the Russian side near Bakhmut falls on the Wagner PEC fighters, and each kilometer has more than 800 killed or wounded Russians.
Jan Stabbs also added that the Russian Federation suffered huge losses of heavy armored vehicles and probably exhausts its rocket reserves and indicated that there was no new generation of military equipment on the front. "The truth is that the advertised Russian main combat tank of the new generation of T14" Armat "was a" white elephant ", which is barely capable of participating in the parade, not to mention the fighting in Ukraine," Stabbs suggested.
According to the British diplomat, the Russian military command demonstrates a lack of competence and spends strategic resources to achieve small tactical victories. It should be reminded that according to the Institute of War Study of March 14, from January 31 to February 28, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation were able to increase the number of captured territories of Ukraine by less than 0. 04%.
