The losses of the invading army of the Russian Federation in Ukraine can be a world record for the troops that carried out the invasion.

According to an UNIAN correspondent, this was stated by Vice President of the European Commission, EU High Representative for Foreign and Security Policy Josep Borrell at a briefing after the meeting of the Council of the European Union at the ministerial level on defense issues in Brussels.

“If it’s true that Russia has lost about 15% of its troops since the beginning of the war, this is a world record for the losses of an army that invades the country,” Borrell said. 

‘And you have a list of assets that Russia seems to have lost – tanks, artillery, drones. These are losses that have been confirmed. It’s also an incredible amount of losses. I don’t know if they can recover these losses. But the number of losses of the Russian army is really amazing,” Borrell said.

According to British intelligence, Russia  has lost a third of the ground combat forces it gathered in February to attack Ukraine. Because of this, they are unlikely to be able to significantly intensify the offensive in the Donbass over the next 30 days.

The total losses of the enemy,  according to the latest data from  our General Staff, are as follows: the Ukrainian army eliminated 27,400 thousand invaders. About a thousand more Rashists were taken prisoner.

  1. Borrell is a halfwit. He should keep his stupid mouth shut until the putinazis have had their economy destroyed, their military destroyed and their people become starving. Because short of death, that’s the only thing that will stop putler.
    That means Borrell, you useless ponce, that your sanctions need to be five times more destructive and Ukraine’s military support needs to be tripled.

    • Where is Stoltenberg these days? Hiding in a Norwegian cave I quess……………….

      • He is probably busy congratulating himself for not starting WWIII.
        That is 27,400 MILITARY deaths for the invaders and zero deaths to civilians. On the other hand for the Moskali the numbers are reversed and by far most of the Ukrainian deaths have been women, children and the elderly.
        Kind of makes Hitler proud…

  2. This is indeed a world record. But, I want to see far more dead Russians. Tens of thousands more. Pain is the only thing that a ruskie understands, and the pain must be GREAT.

  3. How about sending a pair of B-2 bombers and lay a 5000 lb bomb on the Presidential palace and Lenin’s tomb?
