Red Army loses 40,000 soldiers: A total number of Russian soldiers killed, wounded, or captured in just four weeks shows the toll of Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine, battering morale, says NATO.
Up to 40,000 Russian soldiers are believed to have been killed, wounded, or captured.
Another general was killed in Moscow during the Ukrainian invasion
NATO said that the outcome significantly affected the morale of the Russian army
Experts believe that the attack will not be sustainable if losses rise to 30% - about 60,000 men - as Russia has already called in its reserve forces.
Putin lost his 15th commander in the invasion of Ukraine just as Russia suffered its worst high-ranking officer deaths since World War II.
As many as 40,000 Russian soldiers are believed to have been killed, wounded, or captured since the invasion of Ukraine four weeks ago - and Moscow's generals have died in action.
NATO announced that the outcome significantly affected the morale of President Vladimir Putin's forces.
Yesterday, an official said that the number of Russian dead ranged between 7,000 and 15,000.
He suggested adding the number of wounded and detainees, bringing the number of soldiers taken out of the campaign to between 30 thousand and 40 thousand.
Some military experts believe that Russia's mission will not be sustainable if losses rise to 30 percent - about 60,000 men - as the reserves have already called for.
Putin's invasion continued to suffer from what was quickly becoming Russia's most significant loss of top leaders since World War II.
They warned that they would be replaced.
Putin's anger could have escalated as his forces continued to falter in Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Chernihiv while achieving success in the south at a "terrible" price.
Ukrainian forces are also looking to retake Kherson - the only major city under occupation.
Western officials believe that Putin will focus his gaze on the east in the coming days, halting maneuvers on the other two fronts to encircle the upper Ukrainian forces.
This came when Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov admitted that the size of Western sanctions stunned the Kremlin.
He told college students, "When [they froze] central bank reserves, no one who could have foreseen the sanctions the West would pass could have imagined it."
