The aggressor country, Russia, loses one military man every occupied 2.5 square meters. m.
The Russian command still relies heavily on “cannon fodder” tactics. The enemy believes that it can achieve progress only at a cost that any other country would find unacceptable. Therefore, every 2.5 square meters of advance costs the Russian army the life of one soldier. Natalya Kostenko, Deputy Permanent Representative of Ukraine to international organizations in Vienna, stated this during a regular meeting of the OSCE Security Co-operation Forum, Ukrinform reports.
It is estimated that every 2.5 sq. m of Russian advance in Ukraine cost the Russian occupiers the life of one soldier,” she emphasized.
According to Kostenko, these figures confirm the Russian army’s attempts to capture Ugledar. The invaders were able to establish control over this city only after hundreds of daily attempts to break through the Ukrainian defenses.
Although Russian propaganda has already declared this a strategic victory, the reality is that even with overwhelming manpower, artillery and air power, it took Russian troops 2 years to take control of this city, which they completely destroyed, she added.
Let us recall that the General Staff reported that from February 24, 2022 to October 11, 2024, the Russian Federation lost 666 thousand 340 soldiers and officers in Ukraine. In particular, 1,140 invaders were killed and wounded the day before.
