The Russian military has lost a significant portion of its ground forces in Ukraine since invading nearly three months ago while its latest offensive has stalled, according to the United Kingdom's Defense Ministry.
Russia has lost roughly a third of the ground combat forces that were committed to the Ukraine fight, the agency said on Sunday, adding that Moscow's forces have sustained “consistently high levels of attrition.”
The Russians' attempts to capture Kyiv were thwarted by Ukrainian forces, which put up a much stronger resistance than expected, in addition to their own problems such as low morale and supply shortages, though many of those problems have continued to their new phase.
