Russia's Devastating Losses in Ukraine Revealed by U.S. Intelligence
According to newly declassified intelligence shared with Congress, the Russian military has suffered significant casualties since invading Ukraine in February 2022. In the past 22 months, 315,000 Russian troops have been killed and wounded, with substantial losses in equipment. The invasion has undermined Russia's efforts to modernize its ground forces. The Biden administration declassified this information to garner support for additional military assistance to Ukraine, as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy made his case for renewed aid on Capitol Hill. However, some Republicans have expressed reservations about providing more assistance, wanting it linked to changes in U.S. policy on border security and immigration.
