In recent months, Moscow has focused its offensive in Ukraine on the Donbass, particularly the town of Bakhmut.
In the past five months, the Russian Federation has lost more than 100,000 soldiers in the direction of Bakhmut, including more than 20,000 killed in battle, almost half of them soldiers of the Wagner PMC. About this, on Monday, May 1, Reuters, citing a statement by the representative of the White House on national security issues, John Kirby.
He stressed that in his conclusions he relied on US intelligence data.
“Russia has exhausted its military reserves and its armed forces. Since December alone, according to our estimates, the Russian Federation has suffered more than 100,000 casualties, including more than 20,000 killed in action, nearly half these are Wagner soldiers,” he said.
He emphasized that the attempt of the Russian Federation to launch an offensive in Donbas because of Bakhmut failed and the Russian Federation cannot boast of a single significant victory. The same victories that the Russians talk about were achieved at “terrible costs.”
Kirby noted that Ukrainian defenders continue to hold the city.
The day before, Zelensky announced preparations for the next meeting in the Ramstein format. He expects “great decisions that meet prospects on the battlefield.”
At the Headquarters meeting, the production of missiles was discussed
