Russia will probably exceed 1 million victims in their war in Ukraine this summer, according to one of the world’s main expert tanks, reflecting the amazing human number of President Vladimir Putin’s assault on his neighbor.
Around 250,000 of these Russian soldiers have died, said the Center for Strategic and International Studies based in Washington in a report on Tuesday.
Ukraine has also suffered great losses, with 400,000 victims that include between 60,000 and 100,000 dead, he said.
According to CSIS, overcoming 1 million people killed and wounds would be “an impressive and grizz milestone” and showed “Putin’s flagrant contempt for their soldiers,” according to CSIS. To put this figure in historical perspective, it is five times more deaths than all Russian and Soviet wars since World War II.
The figure is marked, but it is approximately with previous estimates given by Western intelligence agencies, which have said that about 1,000 Russian troops are killed or wounded every day.
Putin annexed the Crimean Peninsula of Ukraine and began supporting the pro-ruse separatists in the east of the country in 2014. But the CSIS figures are related to the period that begins with the large-scale invasion of the Kremlin of Ukraine in February 2022.
The justification of the Russian leader for this Blitzkrieg in the Ukrainian capital of kyiv saw him ahistoric fallacy mix, stating that Ukraine has never been an independent real country, with complaints that the expansion of NATO had risk the border security of his country.
However, their tanks columns were rapidly pushed into an impressive defense for Ukraine. Since then, their forces have returned to the war of wear trenches, trying to wear Ukraine throwing waves of troops in what analysts call tactics of “meat grinder.”
