NATO: Russia has been around 900,000 victims since the beginning of the war …

Russia has suffered about 900,000 victims since it started its invasion of Ukraine more than three years ago, a senior NATO official said Thursday.

Up to 250,000 soldiers were killed in a conflict that broke out on February 24, 2022, according to NATO.

Ukraine defends himself from the Russian invasion with wide support of Western allies.

After Kiev’s forces were able to restore control over part of the territory that Russia initially occupied, both sides found themselves in the months of exhaustion, with the Russians gradually achieving territorial gains.

According to NATO estimated, « the battlefield situation is still very difficult. »

« Although we do not expect a bigger breakthrough of Ukrainian defense lines over the next few months, even if Moscow continues to progress, we believe that Russia will continue to increase the pressure along the front line and in Ukraine in general, » the official of the Foreign Member States of NATO Member States in Brussels said.

Highlighting the recent territorial gains of Russian forces in the east of Ukraine, including in Toreck and close to Pokrovska, the official said that Russia continued with his strategy of « great losses in exchange for spores ».

Russia suffered 35,140 victims in February this year, according to an official.

Ukrainian President Volodimir Zeleni, in the meantime, said that last year’s sudden penetration into enemy territory considers it successful despite the general withdrawal of his soldiers from the Russian Kurk region.

Kiev decided to bring the war to Russia by starting his own limited invasion in August.

« It is quite fair to move the war where he came from, » Zeleni said in a video address.

The Greeny video was shot in the Ukrainian border summary area from which Ukrainian forces inflated into Russian territory.

He said that he discussed with the commanders of the units that still fight in Kursk about the equipment and support they need.

« We’re working to protect our positions, » Zeleni added.

Only a few square kilometers of Kurje area is still under Ukrainian control.
