“Difficult times for German industry”

“According to British intelligence, by September 2024, the Russian army’s losses in Ukraine had reached 610,000 people, which exceeds the losses in all Russian wars since World War II. These figures are comparable to the population of such large cities as Vladivostok, Irkutsk or Khabarovsk. Of these, 200,000 were killed, which is comparable to the population of the cities of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk or Pskov. 400,000 more Russians were injured, with one in two of those seriously injured becoming amputees, The New York Times reported earlier.”
