The United States noted that Ukraine “also suffered significant losses,” but declined to provide even rough estimates.
Russia has suffered huge personnel losses in the war in Ukraine, exceeding the figure of 100,000. This was announced on Friday, January 20, by the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the US Army, General Mark Milley, at a press conference following the eighth meeting of the Contact Group on Defense of Ukraine in Ramstein, Germany.
“The last time I spoke publicly about the losses of the Russians, I said that they exceeded 100 thousand. Now I will say that they greatly exceeded 100 thousand. The Russians suffered enormous losses in the military . We are talking about the regular army and mercenaries from PMC Wagner and other forces fighting on the side of the Russian Federation,” said Milli.
He clarified that the account includes not only the dead Russian military, but also the wounded and, in some cases, deserters.
The head of the US Army’s OKNSh noted that Ukraine “also suffered significant losses,” but refused to give even rough estimates. He also emphasized that Ukraine is suffering huge losses.
“A large number of civilians have been killed as a result of Russian actions – the Russians are hitting civilian infrastructure. There has also been significant economic damage, energy infrastructure has been destroyed. The Ukrainian military has also suffered significant losses. This is a very, very bloody war, and there are significant losses on both sides. That’s why I say that sooner or later it will end at a negotiating table at some point, so that the end of the war will come,” said Milli.
It should be noted that the United States submitted to the UN Security Council Committee on Sanctions against North Korea evidence of the supply of weapons by Pyongyang to the private Russian military company Wagner, which is using them in the war in Ukraine.
Stoltenberg was previously reported to have welcomed new arms supplies to Ukraine.
