From time to time the British Sun publishes assessments of the British intelligence agencies regarding Russian losses in Ukraine. Their
most recent summary is shocking:
According to British intelligence Putin's forces have lost 450,000 soldiers killed, wounded or captured since their invasion began. The Sun states that this is 100,000 more than the previous UK estimate shared in February by Britain’s Defence Intelligence.
The article continues:
And Russia's losses have surged to 1,300 troops a day in just the last two months.
The eye-watering casualty figures don’t include mercenary groups like Wagner who were famously slaughtered during “human wave” assaults in the meat grinder battle of Bakhmut last year.
In December the UK said 20,000 of Wagner's soldiers had been killed and another 40,000 had been injured.
The latest figures also don't account for the humiliating “tens of thousands” of soldiers who have deserted Putin's armed forces.
They refer to the Russian soldiers taken out of battle by death or injury at the hands of Kyiv's impressive and resilient army.
Armed Forces Minister Leo Doherty also estimates Moscow has lost almost 3,000 tanks – up from 2,000 a year ago. The Sun exclusively revealed in February that Putin had lost almost all of his valuable tank force since invading Ukraine.
All this carnage, death, and destruction and for what? Where are the protestors at our universities demonstrating against the war crimes committed by Russia against Ukraine?
