Price for "small pieces of land": since the beginning of the war of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation lost 700 thousand people

According to Tony Radakin, the head of the UK's defense headquarters in an interview with the BBC, only last October units of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, which participate in hostilities in Ukraine, lost about 1,500 soldiers killed and wounded daily. The British military commander noted that last month became one of the most blond for the Russian army, which is fighting on the Ukrainian front.

And a huge number of casualties have become an "extraordinary price" that the Russian people pay for the invasion of Vladimir Putin. "There are 700,000 killed or wounded in Russia - it is a great pain and suffering that the Russian nation should bear through Putin ambitions," Radakin said. According to him, such losses suffered Russian forces for "small pieces of land", which were captured by Russian aggressors during a full -scale invasion.

In addition, despite the tactical successes on the battlefield and territorial heritage, the burden of losses lies on Russian society, which deepens the huge costs of defense and security of the Russian Federation, which make up more than 40% of the state budget. It should be noted that similar figures are also given by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Moreover, the number of losses in the ranks of the enemy was announced in early November.

According to the General Staff, the Russians from February 24, 2022 to November 4, 2024 were lost: in an exclusive interview with the Guardian newspaper, the commander -in -chief of the Armed Forces Alexander Sirsky, although acknowledged that the situation on the front is very difficult, but noted that it all depends on the courage of Ukrainian soldiers and officers and officers .

The head emphasized that Russia's recent successes on the front are tactical, not strategic, since the Russian army did not reach operational breakthroughs and could not capture large settlements. Syrsky also noted that Russian losses are much exceeding Ukrainian. According to him, in some areas they are three times higher than the defense forces, and the number of Russian troops killed in Russian troops is much higher than among Ukrainian defenders.

Interestingly, the material of The New York Times from October 10, citing US officials, it was about the loss of the Russian army in Ukraine for the period of February 2022 - September 2024. As a result of hostilities, the number of dead and wounded Russian soldiers exceeded 600,000 people since the beginning of the war. According to the pentagon, Russian losses during the same period are up to 615,000 people, of which 115,000 were killed and 500,000 were injured.

Thus, if you believe the above numbers, only in October the enemy lost about 100,000 fighters. At the same time, it is worth noting that neither in the comment of the British Admiral nor the publication of the US edition did not specify whether the figures of the loss of Russians in the Kursk region, where the August of the month, have been ongoing.

American officials associate such great losses in the ranks of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation with tactics that are focused on enemy exhaustion. Each party tries to cause maximum harm to living strength and technique, hoping to break the enemy's ability to continue fighting. The material shows the words of a high -ranking US military official who stated that this tactic resembles a "meat grinder" when the commanders are ready to send thousands of soldiers to death.

At the same time, The Wall Street Journal with reference to Ukrainian sources and Western intelligence data cite, truly, enormous numbers. In September, journalists write that the number of killed and wounded during the Russian-Ukrainian war reached one million people. This includes both the losses of the Russian army and the forces of Ukraine's defense.
