The Pentagon says that the Russian Federation is trying to use regular troops in the war against the Ukrainians, but also has information about conscripts.
The Russian Federation lost from 60 thousand to 80 thousand people in the war against Ukraine. This is reported on the website of the US Department of Defense.
However, it is not specified whether the person in question is dead or injured.
It was noted that before the invasion, about a quarter of the Russian troops were conscripts, and the rest were professional soldiers.
The Pentagon says the Russian Federation is trying to use regular troops in the war against the Ukrainians, but there is still evidence of conscripts being sent to the front line, who are poorly equipped and poorly trained.
As a senior Pentagon military official said, the balance between Ukrainian and Russian forces in the south is “better in terms of equality and equity than it was originally in the eastern part of the field of war.” He added that Ukrainians understand that more forces are needed for the offensive than for the defense.
The losses of the Russians announced by the Pentagon are higher than those called by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but it is not specified whether they are dead or wounded.
Earlier, US Deputy Secretary of Defense for Political Affairs Colin Kahl said that the total number of wounded and killed Russian invaders since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine reached 80,000 soldiers.
It should be noted that according to the General Staff, as of August 30, since the beginning of the war, the Russian Federation has lost 47,550 military personnel.
