NATO estimates that Russia losses 1,500 soldiers in the fights in Ukraine daily. This number includes both killed and injured members of personnel. European Pravda with reference to a top NATO official who preferred to remain anonymous
Dan Sabo, correspondent of The Guardian,cites his source which states that Russians suffer most significant losses in the city of Bakhmut in Donetsk Oblast.
Russia is sustaining “1200, 1300 even 1500” casualties a day in its current offensive, mostly in Bakhmut. Killed to wounded ratio is one to three - senior Nato official, speaking on condition of anonymity. In particular, there is more and more dissatisfaction with what is happening in the Kremlin towers. There is an increasingly grim awareness of the outlook, namely the geopolitical catastrophe of the Putin regime. And yes, we are already talking about finding a successor to Putin, and it is no longer Putin who is looking for one.”
Ukraine loses “an order of magnitude less” soldiers but specific numbers were not revealed. In addition to this, NATO estimates that “several thousand” shells are used by both sides every day.
NATO cannot predict for how long the battle of Bakhmut will continue. At the moment, heavy fighting is ongoing on the frontline in the city along the Bakhmutka river which has turned into a “killing zone”.
As of the beginning of March, Western intelligence estimated Russia’s losses in the fights for the city of Bakhmut in Donetsk Oblast to be 20,000-30,000 of recruits of the Wagner Group PMC in the last few months. Killed soldiers are estimated to be about a third of this quantity.
Then NATO estimated Russia’s losses in the battles for Bakhmut in Donetsk Oblast to be five times higher than Ukraine’s losses.
Ukrainian city of Bakhmut is suffering some of the fiercest fighting since Russia’s invasion began more than a year ago, with both sides claiming the battle for the city is essential to their victory. NBC News’ Erin McLaughlin has the story.
