British Defense Minister Ben Wallace said that almost the entire Russian army was involved in the war in Ukraine. Wallace said this on BBC Radio 4, commenting on Moscow’s offensive strategy.
In his opinion, the Kremlin was unable to gather a single force to “break through” the defenses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It is about “efforts to move forward.”
It cost a huge price for the Russian army. According to our estimates, 97% of the Russian army, the entire Russian army, is in Ukraine, the British minister said.
By helping Kyiv defeat Russia in Ukraine, the West is strengthening home security, he said.
If 97% of the Russian army is now in Ukraine, with a very high level of outflow of personnel, potentially their combat capability is reduced by 40%, and almost two-thirds of the tanks are destroyed or destroyed, this has a direct impact on the security of Europe … I think that this is what what Russia is doing in trying to move forward, it is doing almost at the level of the First World War, with a level of attrition and with measured meters, not kilometers, indicators of success, summed up the head of the British Ministry of Defense.
Wallace pointed out that the biggest factor in the obscurity is Russian leaders who are either “out of touch with reality” or “do not consider Russia’s human lives.”
Recall that Russia is accumulating aircraft near the border with Ukraine, which indicates that Moscow is preparing to use its planes and helicopters in the war to support a stalled ground offensive.
