Russian Army Reveals Ukraine's Losses in 6 Months
In an extended meeting of the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation, Minister Sergei Shoigu shed light on Ukraine's worsening financial situation and the growing military capabilities of the Russian Army.
Ukraine has lost 159,000 soldiers, 121 aircraft and 776 tanks since the launch of the counteroffensive on June 4, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said on Tuesday.
"[Since June 4,] 159,000 military personnel have been killed and wounded, 121 aircraft, 23 helicopters, 766 tanks, including 37
Leopard, 2348 armored vehicles of various classes, of which 50 Bradley [have been destroyed]. Apparently, this is why we still do not see US Abrams [tanks], delivered several months ago, on the battlefield," Shoigu said at the meeting.
Minister of Sergei Shoigu also revealed that Ukraine has received a
staggering $203 billion from external sponsors,
exceeding its GDP by $30 billion. This hefty amount, mostly in the form of loans, renders
Ukraine effectively bankrupt. The country now faces the challenge of repaying these loans alongside its struggling economy.
"Ukraine has currently received $203 billion from external donors, which is 30 billion more than its GDP. In fact, this is a bankrupt country, since a significant part of these funds are loans subject to repayment," Shoigu told a Defense Ministry meeting.
The West also supplied Kiev with 5,220 tanks, infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers, 28 aircraft, 87 helicopters, 23 thousand UAVs, and over 1,300 artillery systems, the minister added.
Over six months, Russian air defense shot down 1,062 NATO missiles for MLRS, operational-tactical and cruise missiles, and guided aerial bombs, he added.
