(NSFW) Russia's Brutal First Month In Ukraine Montage
Published 2 years ago
Footage compiled by a pro-Ukrainian producer highlights Russian losses in Ukraine, one month in to the Russian invasion.
While the video is produced by a Ukrainian and obviously biased as such, one cannot ignore the magnitude of death and equipment losses sustained by the Russian military. Current credible estimates suggest that Russia has lost around 2,000 major pieces of military hardware, i.e. tanks, APC, helicopters, jets, artillery, and supply trucks. The number of Russian troop deaths isn't known. Russia has claimed to have suffered around 1,300 soldiers killed. NATO estimates Russian troop deaths somewhere between 7,000 and 15,000. Ukraine claims to have killed over 16,000 Russian troops.
Russia invaded Ukraine in what was supposed to be a week-long operation to topple the government and seize control of the nation. However, the Russian military has demonstrated poor command and control and clearly wasn't prepared for such stiff Ukrainian resistance.
