Days before Russia’s expected spring offensive, with which the Kremlin plans to celebrate the first anniversary of the start of the war in Ukraine, for the next 24th, the latest combat casualty statistics do not look favorable for Russia. The Russians have been losing an average of 824 troops a day since the start of the month, the highest combat casualty rate since the first week of the invasion, according to the UK Department of Defense.
The British figures are impossible to verify, but Ukrainian sources support this version, saying that 1,140 Russians have been killed in the past 24 hours, bringing Russia’s casualties to about 5,000 in the past week.
“The offensive they were planning is already happening, gradually, but this is not the offensive they imagined,” said Oleksiy Danilov of the Ukrainian Defense Council.
This optimism was contradicted by Yevgeny Prigozhin, the founder of the Wagner Group, who claimed that his mercenary army took Krasnaya Gora, north of the town of Bakhmut, this Sunday. The advance of the Russians in this area has already been confirmed by witnesses referring to an important offensive at Ukhledar.
