More than 75,000 Russian soldiers have been killed or injured in the war in Ukraine, according to new classified US intelligence, a loss equivalent to almost the entire British Army.

If accurate, the figure would equate to half the 150,000 Russian troops reported to have been committed to the Ukrainian invasion, a staggering figure that points to an “exceptionally deadly war”, according to analysts.

“We were briefed that over 75,000 Russians have either been killed or wounded, which is huge, you've got incredible amounts of investment in their land forces, over 80 per cent of their land forces are bogged down, and they're tired,” Elissa Slotkin of Michigan, a Democrat who serves on the House Armed Services Committee and recently visited Ukraine, told CNN. “But they’re still the Russian military.”

The classified briefing, first reported by CNN, was given by the state department, department of defence, the joint chiefs of staff and the office of the director of national intelligence to the House of Representatives on Wednesday.

Russia has dismissed the figures as inflated, with Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin spokesman, calling it a “hoax”.

“In our time, even the most respectable publications do not shy away from disseminating all sorts of hoaxes: This is sadly happening too often,” he said.

But losses on such a scale would help to explain why the Russian advance in the Donbas has been so grindingly slow, why so many troops are refusing to fight, and why Moscow is having to rely on fresh volunteers.

“You are talking about an exceptionally deadly war,” said Paul Poast, an associate professor of political science at the University of Chicago.

He estimated that between 15,000 and 20,000 Russian troops have been killed, which would be broadly in line with Western estimates of a 3:1 ratio of injuries to deaths
Those killed may include “thousands” of lieutenants and captains and “hundreds” of colonels, a US official said last week.

If true, the new classified figures would make Ukraine Moscow’s worst ever war in terms of casualties - and the second-worst worldwide since the Second World War.

Only Vietnam injured and killed more soldiers from the occupying force; US casualties were more than 350,000 in that war.

The third worst was Afghanistan, where the Soviet Union suffered nearly 70,000 casualties, including around 15,000 killed.

“[The Russians] are exceeding the levels [of casualties] they had in both Afghanistan and Chechnya, which were exceedingly violent from their standpoint. This emphasises how intense the fighting has been.”

“But they are facing a very different opponent. In Afghanistan, the Mujahedeen did not receive American aid at the level now being provided to Ukraine until late in the war,” he added. “In Ukraine, they are facing a professional army which has received Western training since 2014 as well as weapons.”

Officials at the Pentagon have said that losing just 10 per cent of a military force to injuries and death renders a single unit almost useless in terms of combat.

what you guys didn't know is that Ukraine have 700k+ soliders and the Russia didn't do general mobilization. the figure is accurately. remember also Russia is the one invading , so high tendency of receiving much casualty is certain.

Also Russia didn't send 74k men to Ukraine.

Whatever.

CIA said around 15K Russia troops might have been killed or injured but one senator said around 75K Russia troops then UK M16 said around 30K Russia troops might be killed or injured.
NATO sec general said around 25K Russia troops may have dead or injured.

Ukraine said around 1M Russia troops sorry I mean 100K


Which one should we believe?

This pro-zelensky fools shaaa i imagined how many troops ukraine would have lost and troops injured if russia have up to 75k troops injured and killed.
