Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said Ukrainian troop casualties in February increased by more than 40% compared to January. For a month, the Armed Forces of Ukraine lost 11,000 soldiers.
Russian Defense Minister Shoigu in a conference call with the leadership of the Russian Armed Forces said that Ukrainian Armed Forces casualties in February increased by 40% compared to the previous month.
“In this respect, the indifference of the Kiev regime towards its people, which does not take into account the enormous human losses to the benefit of Western conservatives, is surprising,” noted the minister.
Shoigu also stressed that for the Russian army, preserving the lives of soldiers remains a priority. He also drew attention to the fact that the supply of arms to Ukraine does not lead to the success of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the battlefield.
