Russia's losses exceed those of the Soviet Union in Afghanistan: Rutte names shocking figures.

Russia's losses in the war against Ukraine

According to Novyny.live: NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte stated that Russia's losses in the war against Ukraine are greater than the losses of the USSR during the Afghan war. According to him, Russian soldiers are suffering significant losses, ranging from 20,000 to 25,000 per month. These figures are striking, considering that over ten years of the Afghan war, Soviet troops lost around 20,000 soldiers.

Effectiveness of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

Rutte emphasized that such a scale of Russian losses is the result of the resilient defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The situation on the front indicates that Ukrainian military personnel demonstrate effectiveness in defending their territory, which, in turn, leads to significant losses among Russian forces. This data raises concerns in the international community and underscores the seriousness of the armed conflict in Ukraine.

This statement by Rutte may indicate a shift in the dynamics of the conflict and highlights the importance of supporting Ukraine from international partners. The significant losses for Russia may influence the strategic decisions of the Kremlin in the future, as well as the political situation within the country. Given the prolonged tension and escalation of the conflict, the international community may be compelled to reconsider its approaches to the peaceful resolution of the situation in Ukraine.
