More than 7,000 Russian soldiers have been killed since the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the New York Times reported, citing US intelligence estimates that number more than 300 Russian soldiers are killed every day of the war in Ukraine.
According to the Pentagon, the 150,000 Russian troops deployed on the Ukrainian border are now fighting in Ukraine.
The American newspaper draws a parallel by saying that in the battle of Iwo Jima during World War II, almost 7,000 Marines were killed. Now, 20 days after the Russian invasion, the Russian army has lost more soldiers, according to conservative estimates by US intelligence.
The Russian casualties, the NYT continues, are even greater than the number of US troops killed in more than 20 years of war in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The report also mentions 14,000 to 21,000 wounded Russian soldiers. According to Kyiv and NATO allies, at least three Russian generals have been killed in the fighting.
According to the official Moscow report, 498 Russian soldiers have been killed since the start of the war.
