To date, it is impossible to calculate the losses of the Russian army in Ukraine.

However, the data of the General Staff are closest to reality. 

 Military expert Pavlo Narozhnyi told

Channel 24

about this 

He said that the difference in Russia's loss figures depends on the specifics of the calculations, and Ukraine sees more than the intelligence of other countries.

"Russia's losses in the war are reported by the Ukrainian General Staff and foreign intelligence. It is impossible to calculate Russian losses accurately, but the data of the General Staff are the closest to reality," he said.

British intelligence noted that Russia's total losses in killed and wounded amounted to about 200,000 people.

Whereas the data of the Ukrainian General Staff indicate only 142,000 killed and about 300,000 wounded.

That is, total losses amount to about 450 thousand Russians.

According to the expert, such a difference appears due to the peculiarities of calculations. 

"The thing is that in Ukraine, the losses of Russians are calculated based on the reports of our officers. For example, the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed a platoon stronghold, which should have 17 soldiers on staff. Ukrainian officers roughly look at how many could have been killed and report on it," he added. he.

Let's add that according to

the General Staff

, the Russian army lost almost 600 soldiers in the previous day.
