CNN Reports on Russian Military Losses in Ukraine Operation

According to U.S. estimates, 8% to 10% of Russian military assets used during the special military operation in Ukraine have now been destroyed or rendered inoperative. CNN cites this information from an American official familiar with updated intelligence data.

The lost equipment includes tanks, aircraft, artillery, and other military resources. The U.S. estimates that Ukraine has also lost a comparable percentage of its military assets, the official stated.

It is noteworthy that on the morning of February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the launch of a special military operation aimed at the demilitarization of Ukraine. In a televised address, he stated that the circumstances “require decisive and immediate actions from us, as the people's republics of Donbas have appealed to Russia for assistance.” According to the Russian leader, the full responsibility for any bloodshed will lie on the conscience of the regime in power in Ukraine. He also called on Ukrainian soldiers to refuse to follow the criminal orders of the Ukrainian authorities, lay down their arms, and go home.
