Intelligence Report: 315,000 Russian Soldiers Killed and Wounded in Ukraine War

Reuters has reported, citing an informed source, that 315,000 Russian soldiers have been killed and wounded during the Ukraine war. According to a classified U.S. intelligence report, Russia has lost nearly 90% of its personnel since the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine. This source also stated that the report assesses that Moscow's casualties, including personnel and armored vehicles, may have pushed back Russia's military modernization by 18 years. Meanwhile, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced in a statement that the country and the Islamic Republic of Iran are accelerating work on a 'large and new intergovernmental agreement.' Last week, Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia, engaged in five hours of discussions with Ebrahim Raisi, the President of the Islamic Republic of Iran, at the Kremlin. Despite evidence from experts and Western intelligence agencies, Iran has denied supporting Russia in the Ukraine war. Russia has repeatedly used Iranian Shahed-136 drones against civilian facilities in Ukraine. On the other hand, Volodymyr Zelensky, the President of Ukraine, has traveled to Washington. He told U.S. military members that he hopes to continue relying on U.S. assistance. Joe Biden, the President of the United States, has warned Congress that the failure to extend military aid to Ukraine could turn the two-year war's outcome in favor of Russia and pose a threat to national security and the West. With billions of dollars in military and intelligence support from the United States, Ukraine was able to prevent Russia's initial attempt to seize the country, but Kyiv has been unable this year to break through Russian defensive lines in a major counteroffensive, and Russia is now preparing for an attack in eastern Ukraine.
