On the 27th, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu announced a staggering statistic at a meeting of the National Defense Committee.
Since Russia launched its special military operation against Ukraine in 2022, the number of losses of the Ukrainian army has exceeded 4440,000! That's pretty amazing!
However, two days ago, Ukraine's ** Zelensky announced for the first time that the number of Ukrainian soldiers killed was 310,000, the gap between this number and the data released by Shoigu is not ordinarily large!
Well, we have at least the upper and lower limits of the number of unrecoverable losses of the Ukrainian army - 310,000 killed and 4440,000 losses.
As for which end the real data is closer to, it's 4440,000 or 310,000? A slap in the face of Ukraine? This is a test of judgment.
Of course, in addition to the warring parties, the British and Americans are also assessing the situation of this war.
In August 2023, the New York Times reported that the U.S. assessment of the Ukrainian army** was 70,000 killed and 10-120,000 wounded.
During the same period, the United States estimated that the Russian army was 120,000 killed and 17-180,000 wounded.
In addition, there is a data worth referring to, the total number of Ukrainian officers eliminated alone is as high as 3082 people.
There are 564 senior officers, of which 84 are at the rank of colonel, 174 at the rank of lieutenant colonel, and 306 at the rank of major.
2333 junior officers, including 513 first lieutenants, 917 captains, 583 lieutenants and 320 second lieutenants.
In addition to this, there are 31 other officers and 143 retired officers.
In particular, it is worth mentioning that there is a foreigner with the rank of officer of the Ukrainian army.
