been killed in Ukraine in 2 months
From CNN’s Benjamin Brown in London and Nathan Hodge in Lviv
British Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said on Monday that approximately 15,
000 Russian military personnel have been killed in Ukraine since the
invasion began according to British assessments.
Wallace told the House of Commons that more than 2,000 Russian armored
vehicles, including over 500 tanks, had been destroyed in the war, along
with 60 helicopters and fighter jets.
Russia's official casualty figures however are much lower than the UK
estimate. The latest figures released by the Russian defense ministry on
March 25 listed 1,351 of its military personnel killed in Ukraine and 3,825
wounded.
Wallace also told lawmakers that Britain will provide Ukraine with a “small
number” of Stormer armored vehicles fitted with launchers for anti-air
missiles.
The “Stormer vehicles will give Ukrainian forces enhanced short-range anti-
air capabilities both day and night,” he said. |
