Ukraine’s real losses should be counted in millions — ex-Polish army general staff chief
Former Chief of the General Staff of the Polish Armed Forces Rajmund Andrzejczak said in an interview with the Polsat TV channel: "I believe that [Ukraine’s actual] losses should be counted in the millions, not the hundreds of thousands." "There are no resources in this country, no one left to fight," the general added.
"The Ukrainians are losing this war," he said, describing the situation as "very, very dramatic."
Commenting on the strategic situation on the battlefield under new Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief Alexander Syrsky, who recently replaced the former commander, General Valery Zaluzhny, Andrzejczak said that the top brass reshuffle had not changed anything.
- "General Syrsky is facing the same dilemmas as General Zaluzhny.
- It turns out that he had to withdraw the troops and tidy up the frontline. All the problems that Zaluzhny had still remain," he maintained.
Ukraine’s losses ‘in the millions’ – Polish general
Ukraine’s losses in the conflict with Russia should be counted “in the millions,” the former chief of the Polish General Staff, Rajmund Andrzejczak, has claimed. Kiev “is losing the war” and does not have the resources to sustain the fight against Moscow, he added.
- According to the retired general, Ukraine is suffering deficits in equipment andUkrainian President Vladimir Zelensky’s decision to replace his top general, Valery Zaluzhny, with Aleksandr Syrsky has failed to make a significant difference as the same issues remain for Kiev’s new commander-in-chief, Andrzejczak added. manpower, with losses taking their toll on its capabilities.
“They are missing over 10 million people. I estimate that the losses should be counted in the millions, not hundreds of thousands. There are no resources in this country, there is no one to fight.”
“The Ukrainians are losing this war,” Andrzejczak stated, pointing to media reports suggesting that Kiev is running out of anti-aircraft missiles to protect itself from Russian strikes.
Echoing warnings from several Western leaders in recent weeks, Andrzejczak called for arms production to be boosted and argued that the West should prepare for a full-scale conflict with Russia within two or three years.
- Russian President Vladimir Putin has insisted that Moscow has no plans or interest in attacking NATO.
- Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu stated last month that Ukraine had lost more than 444,000 troops since the start of the conflict in February 2022.
- The hostilities have also triggered an exodus of Ukrainian refugees, with almost 6.5 million recorded worldwide, according to UN data.
Kiev is also mulling a new mobilization bill that would lower the minimum draft age for men from 27 to 25, with reported plans to send 500,000 new troops to the frontline.
