Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) suffer serious losses among their personnel, so they are forced to compensate them with untrained recruits. This is what the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, wrote on his Telegram channel on Tuesday, TASS reported.
“The past few days for the Ukrainian troops and NATO formations have turned out to be extremely busy with various, obviously, not very positive events. Our enemy is suffering heavy losses in personnel and equipment, the rest are simply demoralized. As a result, the Il Ukrainian command is trying to make up for losses with unprepared recruits who don’t really know how to hold weapons in their hands,” wrote Kadyrov.
Noted that among the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine there are fewer and fewer people willing to resist of the advancing Russian troops.
“The special operation to liberate the occupied territories of Donbass is proceeding according to plan. At this stage, the soldiers of the Chechen units do not observe significant obstacles. The implementation of operational tasks is proceeding systematically and slowly, which is why it is possible to reduce significantly damage to personnel,” Kadyrov explained.
According to him, the new methods of warfare and the timely regrouping of troops helped the Russian troops. This is directly confirmed by the successes in the main directions, the head of Chechnya added.
Recall that the Ukrainian side claims the opposite.
Russia has lost over 100,000 soldiers since the start of the war. This was announced on December 22 by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
In late November, British intelligence reported that Russian reservists mobilized in the war in Ukraine were being killed “in large numbers”. The department noted that it is very likely that the medical conditions of reservists are not adequately assessed, so many of them are forced to serve with “serious and chronic illnesses”.
The last time Moscow reported its combat losses was in September, when it said 5,937 troops had been killed in combat.
Western sources regularly report continuing problems with Russian mobilization and defectors.
