Where did the occupiers suffer the most painful blows?
During the war the occupants not only did not manage to capture a single regional centre, but also suffered huge losses. And, according to world intelligence, over the past two weeks they have been the largest since the start of the full-scale invasion.
Read about what is happening on the front and where the Russian Armed Forces received particularly painful blows in the Obozrevatel's article.
The British intelligence report, which was published on Twitter by the UK Ministry of Defence on February 12, said that over the past two weeks Russia had lost the largest number of soldiers since the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022.
The average loss in a day was around 824. According to the intelligence, this is attributed to the influence of various factors. The main reasons are a shortage of trained soldiers, poor coordination, and declining resources of the occupying army. The most striking example of colossal losses of the Russian army is near Vuhledar and Bakhmut.
The Russian losses near Vuhledar were indeed a shock to the occupiers: they tried to storm the town, but were defeated. A video of what was left of the tank column was made public by the Russian army soldiers. They accompanied it with the words that this will not be shown on TV - everything is fine there, and Russia is, of course, "winning".
"And this is our broken hardware. Everything is ruined, there is a turret from the tank, and here is the tank itself. And there is a body lying in the field by the crater. Here's another tank. And the same thing further along the straight line. That's how we live. But everything is always good on TV - we are the best," the survived occupant says.
According to the data of the Dutch Oryx defence analysis and warfare research resource published by CNN, Russia could have already lost up to half of its tank fleet in Ukraine since the start of the full-scale invasion. Jakub Janowski, a military analyst with the Oryx monitoring group, believes that Russia's actual losses in tanks could be as high as two thousand units. In three days alone, 36 tanks were destroyed near Vuhledar and Avdiivka.
This state of affairs has resulted in harsh criticism of the actions of the military command in Russia.
Defence Minister Shoygu got it hot and strong as well - he was called a degenerate, who is still clinging to his post despite one year has passed since the start of the "genius" full-scale invasion.
According to the AFU, over the past week (February 6 - 12) Russian occupation troops have lost almost 6,500 of their soldiers in battles on Ukrainian territory, as well as 400 units of enemy weapons and equipment. In particular, the Russian army lost two aircraft, two helicopters and 60 tanks.
The occupiers suffered serious losses in Bakhmut, Vasylivske, Berdyansk, Volnovakha and Kakhovka districts, as well as in Melitopol, Donetsk and Ilovaysk, where seven arms depots and six headquarters were destroyed.
Still, the enemy should not be underestimated. And considering that there are only 11 days to go until the anniversary of the so-called "special military operation", the likelihood that they will be hot is very high.
"Putin desperately needs some kind of success, which he will be able to talk about at the Federal Assembly on the eve of February 24. Therefore the enemy will try to 'crash through the wall' trying to take 'revenge', but our Defence Forces are ready for this," says the weekly's intelligence source.
Also, the threat of missile attacks on Ukrainian territory remains high until February 24, so the air alert should not be treated with disdain. Now it is necessary to save our lives and to help the defenders of Ukraine to fight the Russian horde with everything we can.
