The war between Russia-Ukraine has been going on for four years. In this background, some sensational statistics have come to light. It seems that Russia has suffered a huge loss in terms of military in these clashes that have been going on since 2022. British intelligence sources estimated that 500,000 Moscow soldiers lost their lives in this battle.
On the other hand, Ukrainian President Zelensky revealed this February that they have lost 55,000 soldiers since the start of the war. There are allegations that both the countries have not disclosed the actual figures even though the casualties on both sides are heavy. Over the past four years, Russia has gradually deployed its troops to attack Ukrainian bases in the Donbass region. Newly recruited soldiers and recruits from prisons took part in these clashes. Their lack of proper training seems to be leading to heavy casualties in the battlefield.
On the other hand, Ukraine is using missile systems, artillery and advanced drones supplied by the US and its allies. Zelenskyi’s army is attacking command posts and military groups. It is expected that this loss has increased further. UK intelligence sources have estimated that Russia will not be able to recruit well-trained soldiers to face these attacks and will not be able to assemble any defenses to protect those on duty. Analysis says that these reasons are hurting Russia.
Meanwhile, the government of Russia is announcing large-scale incentives for the youth to join the army. As part of this, it has promised to waive up to 10 million rubles about Rs. 1.33 crores in loans to those who sign an agreement with the defense department and their families. It has been reported that President Vladimir Putin has signed the decision that those who want to join the army will have to guarantee that they will continue for at least one year.
