War in Ukraine: Russia lost 100,000 soldiers

At 104,000 are soldiers that Russia has lost in the war it is waging in Ukraine, according to a statement from the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. According to independent media the term “eliminated” used may mean that they have been killed or that they have been so seriously injured that they have been forced to leave the military service.

Russia had recently spoken of 6,000 dead soldiers in its ranks. Meanwhile, independent Russian media have already identified more than 10,000 Russian casualties. Ukraine itself does not report its own casualties in its daily military reports. The presidential office in Kyiv had recently spoken of more than 10,000 dead Ukrainian soldiers.

Warring parties release daily information on the other side’s “casualties”, which cannot be independently confirmed, but rarely on dead or wounded soldiers in their own ranks.

Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu had announced in September the number of 5,937 dead Russians soldiers. By now this number is likely to have increased greatly.

The Russian armed forces now rely heavily on the help of Belarusian instructors to train recruits, according to the daily update of information announced by the British Ministry of Defense, the Athens-Macedonian News Agency reports, citing DPA.

This is due to a shortage of Russian trainers, many of whom have been deployed or killed during the invasion of Ukraine, and is a sign of the pressure Russia’s armed forces are under, according to Britain’s Ministry of Defence.
