The commander of the British Armed Forces, Admiral Tony Radakin, said that Russia has spent more than 30% of its ground combat effectiveness since the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Also, 50,000 Russian war criminals were killed or injured. Therefore, the Ukrainian army “absolutely” believes in victory in the war.
They (Ukrainians – ed.) understand very clearly that they plan to restore their entire territory on Ukraine’s terms, and they see how Russia is facing problems. According to our estimates, Russia has lost more than 30% of its combat capability, – The Guardian quotes the British Chief of Defense Staff.
In addition to 50,000 dead and wounded soldiers, Moscow lost almost 1,700 tanks and 4,000 armored fighting vehicles.
Radakin emphasized that Russia failed to achieve its goals by launching a full-scale offensive with great ambitions. According to him, the Kremlin had ambitions to seize the largest cities of Ukraine in the first 30 days, split our state and put pressure on NATO. However, the admiral is convinced that Russia has not achieved any of these goals.
Russia is now a weaker nation and state than it was in early February, summed up the commander of the British army.
