Russian dictator Putin, who has held power for 25 years, regularly mentions in propaganda speeches that some abstract enemies are destroying what he calls the Russian identity. However, the way he himself is destroying russia is something no one can do, and the best proof of this is the statistics of Russian army losses in Ukraine.

Here's What We Know

It is known that Russian generals do not spare their soldiers and throw them into the meat grinder of war without counting.

Today, the General Staff of Ukraine published figures of Russian losses in the war, which she herself unleashed. According to the General Staff, the irrecoverable and sanitary losses of the occupiers since 24 February 2022 amounted to 1 million people! This number includes both killed and seriously wounded fighters who will never be able to return to the front.

Russian army losses in Ukraine

For comparison:

  • russia has lost five times more dead in Ukraine than in all russian and soviet conflicts since World War II;
  • Russian casualties in Ukraine are 15 times greater than in the decade-long war in Afghanistan and 10 times greater than in the 13-year war in Chechnya.

The General Staff published a short video showing the senselessness of these losses: instead of creating - young people are killed or left gravely ill for Putin's imperial ambitions.
