Kremlin admits significant losses of Russian troops In Ukraine | DW News

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Thursday that Russia had sustained "significant losses" in Ukraine. Russia's defence ministry said on March 25, its most recent update, that 1,351 Russian soldiers had been killed since the start of the campaign, and 3,825 had been wounded.

In Brussels, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba met with foreign ministers of the NATO alliance, the European Union, Finland, Sweden, Japan, New Zealand and Australia today. Kuleba said he was "cautiously optimistic" that some NATO members would increase their weapons supplies to Ukraine. He declined to say which countries would be providing equipment or what kind it would be, but he said the weapons must get to Ukraine quickly. NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said on Thursday that the alliance is stepping up support for Ukraine and its neighbors "in many different ways."

In January 2022, Russia was thought to have the second best Army in the World. In March 2022, Russia in now known to have the second best Army in Ukraine.

An army that abandons their dead soldiers to the field like Putler's fascist horde has done will never win any war. They have low moral to begin with, and when they see their dead and wounded left behind their will to fight is zero. Slava Ukraini, you will win.

Yes absolutely! Allow Sweden and Finland to join NATO. It's time they stand up for something besides "neutrality" and fear!

[Vibycko]

When you send soldiers somewhere, and start receiving bodybags back, throwing more soldiers at it just causes more bodybags to return.
This is indeed a great tragedy. For all parties involved..

[marywhittal]

For goodness sakes give Ukraine what they need to defend themselves.

[MindinViolet]

Well, Peskov is right about one thing. The Ukraine situation is indeed a huge tragedy. It is a tragedy for both Russia and Ukraine. It is a tragedy that results from one man’s ambitions.

Give them the Polish MiG that they want and need, with greater air superiority they can push out the Russians much quicker.

In a recently surfaced medical report, the Russian spokesperson who admitted significant losses, has a heart ailment. He is suffering from severe vulnerability to Novichok

[JohnDoe-kbsj]

At least 15 senior Russian commanders have been killed in the field.

Peskov: "We've got significant loses and withdraw our troops as an act of good will" 😂🤡

[randlerobbertson]

A terrible way to admit things. i.e. when so many Russian soldiers are dead, captured or simply missing. Or perhaps deserted, maimed and/or wounded. It simply cannot be hidden from their own families and their neighborhoods back home in Russia.

[bobdollar]

It would be a Befitting Outcome if the Ukrainian Military pushed the Pro-Russian Separatists and the Russian Military out of Eastern Ukraine across the border into Russia.

[JustSomeTommy]

Putin is responsible for that huge tragedy

[lunatik]

Pootin doesn’t get that moral of his soldiers is actually a huge deal. It can turn the tide of any fight. I don’t care how many numbers you have.. when your morale is at 0, you’ve already lost.

[answerman]

If only abut 1300 soldiers have been killed then a lot of vehicles must have been abandon. Because the total amount of Russian land, air, and sea vehicles destroyed or captured well exceeds that number.

[Canada]

We need to make sure he doesn't reach his goals and Ukraine people remains in control of their destiny, period.

[jordanaus]

Why are we caring what Putin thinks of NATO?? He has already made up his mind about NATO and is going to do whatever he wants regardless of NATO's actions.

[cyberwolfy]

remember Russia is very prideful, so for them to admit that they took "significant losses" means that the losses are way worse than just "significant".

[LowenKM]

We can't wait for more 'meetings', when time is of the essence in this next phase of sending heavy weapons to Ukraine, especially while Russia is still struggling to re-group. Aka, "Never interrupt your enemy when he's busy making a mistake."

[thelettuceconsumer]

“NATO hasn’t provided weapons to Ukraine the ally members nations did.”
Absolute loophole, I love it.
