Putin has lost 450,000 soldiers, 3,000 tanks & vehicles and nearly 500 aircraft in Ukraine, says UK intelligence

RUSSIA has lost an enormous 450,000 soldiers and 3,000 precious tanks in Ukraine, according to a UK tally. They refer to the Russian soldiers taken out of battle by death or injury at the hands of Kyiv's impressive and resilient army. Armed Forces Minister Leo Doherty also estimates Moscow has lost almost 3,000 tanks – up from 2,000 a year ago. A joint investigation by the BBC and independent Mediazona found at least 50,000 Russian soldiers had died. The latest UK claim that Russia has lost almost 3,000 tanks chimes exactly with the Oryx blog that tracks visually confirmed losses.
