The economy of the Russian Federation will not be able to ensure the conduct of an aggressive war in Ukraine in three months
Literally : “Russia has spent a huge amount of human resources, weapons and materials. Its economy and production are unable to cover these losses. She changed her military chain of command.
If the Russian military does not achieve its goals this spring, Russia will run out of tools of war.”
Russian orcs look like you’ve been betrayed by Putin. Quickly running out of ammunition. The rest of the world will be there soon. Слава Україн
Russia lost up to 30 thousand “Wagnerites” in the battles for Bakhmut, one in three died – Western intelligence
Western intelligence estimates Russia’s losses in the battles for the city of Bakhmut in the Donetsk region in recent months at 20-30 thousand mercenaries of the Wagner private military company, and about a third of them may have died.
This was stated at a briefing for journalists on Tuesday by a senior official of one of the Western countries.
According to him, the West is seeing more and more evidence that Russian conscripts refuse to go into battle in other hot spots along the front line, in particular in the area of the city of Vuhledar in the Donetsk region, where “hundreds of Russian soldiers are killed or injured every day.”
Also, Western officials believe that the Wagner PMC is running out of reserves, as the number of men of military age in Russian prisons, from where Wagnerites are recruited, begins to decrease.
“The death rate of Wagner is significantly higher than in the Russian armed forces. Bakhmut has not been successful for the Russians. They have been retreating for half a year now. We are seeing a really terrible level of Russian casualties there for very minimal territorial gain, and the Russian army is really in a bad state” – said a Western official.
