Britain reported how many troops Russia lost in Ukraine

Russia has already lost a third of its land combat capability in Ukraine. This was stated on BBC One by the commander of the British army, Tony Radakin. He also noted that such a development of events inspires confidence that the Ukrainian army will be able to win, writes The Guardian .

They have a clear plan to restore the territorial integrity of Ukraine, because they see a Russia that is failing, a Russia that, according to our estimates, has lost more than 30% of its land combat capability,” Radakin said.

According to the admiral, "this means 50,000 Russian soldiers killed or injured in this conflict, almost 1,700 Russian tanks destroyed, almost 4,000 armored fighting vehicles."

Radakin recalled that Russia intended to capture the largest cities of Ukraine in 30 days, split it and put pressure on NATO.

In these ambitions, Russia is failing. Russia is now a less powerful state than it was at the beginning of February, said the British admiral.

And according to British intelligence, Russia, due to heavy losses in Ukraine, is already considering non-traditional options for recruiting those who want to fight, including in Russian penitentiary institutions.
