The ratio of dead and wounded Russians in the Bakhmut area could be worse than one in three, sources said.
Tens of thousands of Russian aggressors died in a futile attempt to take the small town of Bakhmut in the Donetsk region. The journalist of the British newspaper The Guardian Dan Sabbah reported it in Twitter on Tuesday, March 7th.
“Russia lost between 20,000 and 30,000 people trying to take Bakhmut. The ratio of dead and wounded could be worse than one in three,” the journalist said, citing several Western officials.
As for the losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, he said: “No corresponding figure for the Ukrainian defenders was given, except for” less “, but others talk about five Russians per Ukrainian and more yet.”
The battle for Bakhmut “could continue for another month” or “the Ukrainians could decide to withdraw within a week,” the sources said.
“In other words, no one knows if Ukraine is worth fighting for a small city of no great strategic importance,” Sabbah added.
It will be remembered that this week at a meeting of the Headquarters of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, it was decided that the Armed Forces of Ukraine will continue to defend Bakhmut and even strengthen the positions in the city.
