The number of Russian soldiers killed on Ukrainian territory has risen to the number of the nine -year war in Afghanistan, the British Ministry of Defense said.
In the first three months of the military invasion of Ukraine, the losses of the Russian Federation likely reached the number of the USSR’s nine -year war in Afghanistan. This is stated in the report of the British Ministry of Defense, published on May 23.
British intelligence stressed that poor low-altitude tactics with limited air cover, lack of flexibility and a team approach willing to amplify failures and repeat mistakes led to high levels of casualties, which continued to rise during the Russian offensive in the Donbass.
“The Russian public in the past has been sensitive to the victims suffered during the wars. As the number of victims in Ukraine increases, they will become more obvious, and the public’s dissatisfaction with the war and the desire to express it may rise, “the military department noted.
Earlier, The Economist reported that within 24 hours of the invasion of Ukraine, Russia had suffered more losses than the eight -year war in Syria.
Recall, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, on May 23, the Russian Federation lost 29,200 soldiers to Ukraine, as well as 1,293 tanks, 204 aircraft and 170 helicopters.
