Natalia Kostenko at a meeting of the OSCE Forum for Security Cooperation
"The Russian military leadership relies heavily on 'cannon fodder' tactics, demonstrating that it can only achieve progress at a cost that any other country would find unacceptable. It has been calculated that every 2.5 square meters of Russian advance in Ukraine costs the Russian occupiers the life of one soldier..
The Ukrainian military continues to identify and destroy military headquarters of the Russian occupation forces, logistics and communication routes, and ammunition depots. In particular, last week our troops successfully destroyed the command posts of the 35th and 27th motorized rifle brigades, as well as the command post of the 2nd combined arms army of the Russian Federation“.
let’s do a quick math
Putin will sacrifice 3.5 million russian soldiers by the pace of russian conquest of Ukraine and number of russian casualties per day.
that’s lower than the 5 or 10 million russians I previously predicted.
for Putin, not a problem
