At the same time, the military losses of Ukraine in the battles for this city are 7.5 times less than those of the invaders. Ukraine has no right to surrender its cities without a fight, because without resistance, the Russians would have already won. This was stated by the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Alexei Danilov in an interview with the Italian edition of Corriere.
Since September 1, when Moscow began using convicts as mercenaries in Bakhmut, 22,816 people have died. Our losses were 7.5 times less. We have no right to surrender our cities,” he said.
In general, from September 1, 2022 to June 2023, Russia lost more than 160 thousand of its mercenaries, soldiers and officers.
Recall that since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the Russian Federation has lost in Ukraine about 209 thousand 940 invaders, 3 thousand 837 tanks, 7 thousand 512 armored combat vehicles, 313 aircraft and 298 helicopters.
