In particular, Reznikov notes that Russian troops, according to various sources, have lost at least a third of their combat potential, which was used during the invasion of Ukraine.



Defense Minister Alexei Reznikov said this in an interview with Voice of America.

I don't think freezing is possible. The option of lowering activity is viable, depending on what season. Again, modern warfare is a war of resources. Resources are, of course, depleted on both sides. And accordingly, each side requires time to recover,” the Minister of Defense said.

Reznikov also notes that Russian troops, according to various sources, have lost at least a third of their combat potential, which was used during the invasion of Ukraine.

Their resource is also wasted, so that they will need some restoration. Therefore, let's say cooling the situation in terms of combat clashes is possible. I don't see the freezing of what people want to call "conflict" because it's not a conflict. This is a war, said the Ministry of Defense head.

The minister stressed that there was an open war between two regular armies, one of which invaded the territory of a neighboring state without a legitimate explanation and the right to do so.
