According to NATO intelligence, in the battles for Bakhmut, the Russians lose five times more soldiers than the Ukrainian army. Despite this ratio, Ukraine also suffers serious losses in the defense of the city.
This is reported by CNN with reference to a NATO military official familiar with the intelligence data of the North Atlantic Alliance.
At the same time, the Ukrainian military-political leadership considers the operation to defend Bakhmut super successful, since the Russians are losing a very large number of forces and cannot attack in other directions.
Because alliance officials are prohibited from discussing intelligence information, the channel’s source spoke on condition of anonymity.
Recall that earlier NSDC Secretary Alexei Danilov said that the ratio of losses in the Bakhmut direction is 1 to 7.
According to Mikhail Podolyak, adviser to the head of the OP, during the defense of the city, the Ukrainian military destroy the most combat-ready group of Russians and buy time to train tens of thousands of fighters for the upcoming counteroffensive.
On March 6, Danilov, after a meeting of the Headquarters, said that the situation in Bakhmut was difficult, but there was no talk of encircling the city by the Russians.
