The leaks are loaded by the devil, and more if they are ‘voluntary confessions’ such as those made by The Russian Ambassador to London, Andrei Kelin. According to international media, the Russian president had escaped in public the number of mortal victims of Kremlin in his conflict in Ukraine.
During an interview with the CNN By the Kremlin representative in the United Kingdom, the ambassador was asked by the interviewer Christiane Amanpour about the conflict between Iran and Israel and his parallels with what Moscow had done with Ukraine. Obviously, this comparison did not sit well with Kelin, that criticized this approach and denied the greatest.
Instead, the journalist insisted: “You have violated the borders of a sovereign country, you have attacked civilians, they have attacked nuclear power plants, allowing a nuclear catastrophe,” he said. At the same time, he also pointed out that Russia is claiming territories that were never his, such as Donetsk, Luhansk, Jersón and Zaporiyia.
Faced with that statement, Kelin smiled ironically and struggled that these territories will be conquered by Russia yes or yes, and Amanpour questioned him asking him that where all the necessary soldiers are found for an operation of such dimensions.
“I am not an expert in this field, but I understand that we recruit and display between 50,000 and 60,000 volunteers per month. They want to participate in this [en Ucrania]”said the ambassador. This means that, at least, Russia would have recruited about 250,000 soldiers during this springa fact that contrasts and reveals that Russian troops have reduced their troops since last summer.
With this data, Kelin contradicts what was affirmed by The General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces that ensure that more than one million Russian soldiers They have died or have been injured during the war in Ukraine. And it ensures that there are currently 600,000 Russian soldiers in Ukraine, 100,000 less than Putin declared last summer.
However, this data is quite plausible for those who handle means related to Ukraine, such as Kyiv Independent, whose Ukrainian army sources assured that Moscow He has lost a little less than 220,000 men since the beginning of the year, without adding those of autumn.
Thus, they affirm that “(the Russians) are losing between 35,000 and 45,000 soldiers per month And maybe they are recruiting a little more than that, ”said George Barros de Isw for Kyiv Independent At the beginning of June.
