The military losses of the Russian Federation in the war with Ukraine since the beginning of February have been five times the usual weekly figures.
Journalists claim that over the past 14 days, the number of confirmed casualties has been five times higher than the usual weekly figures, which may indicate an offensive that Russia has launched in the Donbass.
Confirmed losses began to rise substantially from mid-December. Throughout 2022, Russian sources typically reported about 250-300 dead on a weekly basis. In January, these figures doubled. This is reported by the Russian service of the BBC together with the publication “Mediazona”.
Journalists managed to confirm the names of 1,679 dead in two weeks, which is five times more than the usual weekly figures. This is the largest increase in Russian military casualties since the invasion of Ukraine. Such losses may indicate that a new Russian offensive has already begun.
And we are talking only about the data that we manage to find and verify from open sources, that is, the real number of losses is, of course, even more, writes the BBC.
It is noted that from open sources it is known about the death of 1,121 mobilized Russians, 40% of whom died since January 1.
Recall that British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace ridiculed the new Russian offensive in Ukraine, calling it a “meat grinder” tactic. Now the Russian army is suffering huge losses, and the advance is a matter of meters.
