Russia Lost 80,000 People In War - British Defence Minister

During the six months of the war, Russia's losses amount to more than 80,000 people, said British Defense Minister Ben Wallace. It is reported by The Guardian.

"We pretty much accept, well, we do accept, the sort of observations of Russian losses to be – if you combine deaths, injuries, desertions – over 80,000 of their armed forces. That’s 80,000 in six months compared to 15,000 they lost in a decade in Afghanistan,” the military said.

According to British intelligence, the advance of Russian troops during the week can be measured in meters.

Wallace noted, he spoke to his intelligence chiefs, adding that Russia's advance can be measured “in metres per week, not miles.”

As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, in an interview with the American channel CNN, the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Oleksii Reznikov said that the worst scenario of the war with Russia was left behind.

We also reported that analysts at the Institute for the Study of War summed up the "success" of the Russian occupation army in the six months since the invasion began.
