Russians to Capture 4 Regions in 4.4 Years: British Intelligence Calculates Losses

According to glavcom.ua: The British Ministry of Defence has estimated that Russian troops will need about 4.4 years to capture four Ukrainian regions. The Chief Commander disseminated this information, citing the UK Ministry of Defence.

The conclusions are based on Putin's demand to withdraw Ukrainian troops from the Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson regions, as well as forecasts regarding potential Russian losses. It is projected that the conflict could result in over 1.9 million casualties among Russian military personnel.

This figure adds to the overall losses of Russia. It is estimated that since the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine, Russia has lost about 1.06 million people, including 250 thousand dead or missing.

In September 2022, Russia annexed four Ukrainian regions, which provoked outrage from the international community and a conflict with Moscow. This violated the principle of official recognition of Ukraine's independence following the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
