Russia is paying a heavy price for the invasion of Ukraine. The figures of death of soldiers that have come out recently are indicating this. According to a Moscow website, about 10 thousand Russian soldiers have lost their lives so far. Earlier on March 2, the Russian Defense Ministry also released the figures. In which the number of soldiers killed was said to be around 500. However, in another report it is also being claimed that Russia has made considerable progress in Ukraine.
According to the Daily Mail, the death figures were part of an update released by the Moscow Defense Ministry and were removed from the website of Komsomolskaya Pravda. It is believed to be a government-backed website. There was speculation that a Ukrainian-backed employee on Russia’s website had released figures related to the casualties of the soldiers. However, these were also removed immediately. It was told that so far 9 thousand 861 soldiers have died in Ukraine and 16 thousand 153 are injured.
Ukraine claimed that 15,000 Russian soldiers had been killed. Whereas, America had estimated 7 thousand deaths. The special thing is that in the year 1979, about 15,000 Soviet soldiers were killed in Afghanistan.
Russia is not only taking the loss!
A report in the Daily Mail quoted British intelligence as saying that Russian forces are also achieving considerable successes. They have used drones to strike Ukrainian targets very well. At the same time, Russian forces have also destroyed a large number of TB2 made in Turkey. The report suggested that Ukraine’s ground-to-air defense may also have been overrun by Russian forces.
The report said Russia has increased the bombing of several cities after the redeployment of supplies. These include especially the names of the cities of Mariupol, Kharkiv, Sumy and Chernihiv. British defense experts have also expressed concern that Russia’s Kinjal hypersonic missile could dodge anti-missile systems. During this time, experts have also raised questions on the assessment made by Western countries, in which it was being said that Ukraine’s air defense system remains effective.
Intelligence reports say that Russia wants to warn other cities by means of complete destruction of Mariupol. Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov, who arrived in London, said, “Many small towns have disappeared from the earth.” He further said, ‘Moscow is scared of our army, so they are fighting with ordinary citizens.’
