Spokesperson for the Ukrainian Volunteer Army, Serhiy Bratchuk, noted that despite massive daily losses, Russian infantry continues to outnumber Ukrainian forces

He stated this during a broadcast on the Espreso TV channel.

"Russian and North Korean soldiers are dying and continue to die. The resource is running out, although, of course, we would like this to happen faster. We observe enormous Russian losses and see that they are no longer able to replenish their ranks as quickly as they did before," Bratchuk pointed out.

According to the spokesperson of the Ukrainian Volunteer Army, the enemy’s daily losses now exceed 1,500 people, and fewer new soldiers are arriving. It now resembles an industrial conveyor belt for the destruction of Russian invaders.

"Objective analysis today shows this picture. I hope the enemy's infantry resources will gradually decrease. Mobilization is not officially declared in Russia; it continues in a covert form. Unfortunately, the enemy still has a sufficient number of infantry, and it outnumbers ours," Bratchuk stressed.

The spokesperson also added that amid losses, the enemy is becoming more economical with military equipment. The Russian defense industry is unable to repair tanks quickly, let alone produce new ones. Russia essentially lacks a complete tank production cycle. Despite this, the available combat vehicles continue to be used on the front lines.

"However, Russia's economic and human resources are not limitless, and this will increasingly be felt on the battlefield," Bratchuk concluded.

  • Over the past 24 hours, the Ukrainian defense forces eliminated 1,430 Russian military personnel, along with several units of enemy equipment and weaponry.
