Since February 24, 2022, Russia has lost more than 900,000 soldiers, 250,000 of them killed - NATO
The Russian army continues to lose more than 1,000 people a day in killed and wounded, but its rate of recruitment of new recruits so far corresponds to the losses.
According to Censor.NET, with reference to Deutsche Welle, a senior NATO official said this at a briefing on the sidelines of a meeting of NATO foreign ministers in Brussels.
"The advance of Russian troops in Ukraine is slowing down, its losses are increasing, but the Russian authorities are ready to continue to suffer heavy losses in exchange for slow successes," the official summarized.
He does not believe that Russian society has reached a point where it is ready to put up with this any longer.
The NATO official also noted that many of the wounded Russian servicemen have suffered lifelong disabilities due to poor medical care.
According to NATO, the situation at the front remains very difficult. It is predicted that the Russian Federation will continue to increase pressure both on the battlefield and throughout Ukraine, trying to stall for time and strengthen its position in the negotiations. The advantage of forces is still not on Ukraine's side, DW writes.
At the same time, NATO sees no signs that Moscow is preparing for a ceasefire, its goals remain unchanged.
"We see no signs that Russia's goals in this war have changed," the official said.
As a reminder, according to the General Staff, as of April 4, the losses of the Russian army amounted to 920,950 people.
