The Russians have lost 70 or 80 thousand people in the last six months. This is the total number of dead and wounded in the battle.
The total number of wounded and killed Russian occupiers since the beginning of the mass invasion of Ukraine reached 80,000 soldiers. This is what US Deputy Secretary of Defense for Political Affairs Colin Kahl said in a briefing.
“I think it’s safe to assume that the Russians have probably lost 70 or 80 thousand people in the last six months. That’s the total number of dead and wounded in the conflict,” he said.
In the midst of such huge losses, Russian President Vladimir Putin failed to achieve any of his goals in Ukraine, Kahl said.
It should be remembered that, according to the General Staff, on August 8, the total loss of personnel of Russian troops on the territory of Ukraine was approximately 42,340 people.
It was previously reported that on the night of August 8, the Armed Forces of Ukraine hit HIMARS missiles at the points of enemy troops in the industrial areas of the occupied Melitopol. According to preliminary data, a large amount of enemy military equipment and more than 100 Russian soldiers were destroyed.
