Ukraine expert: Russian May losses to hit 30,000 as offensive stalls
A Ukrainian military expert predicts that the Russians may suffer record personnel losses in May. These losses could amount to 30,000 soldiers, Russia's average monthly mobilization potential.
Sergey Grabski, in an interview for Channel24, assesses that such large Russian losses are a consequence of their offensive actions in the north of the Kharkiv region. This could be the cause of the enemy's further failures.
According to the military expert's predictions, the Russians may lose about 30,000 soldiers by the end of May, the peak of their mobilization capabilities in a month.
"The Russian military machine is at the end of its capabilities"
Grabski points out the limitations of the Russian mobilization system's capabilities. Russia can painlessly call up about 20,000 soldiers to its armed forces every month. Also, consider the financial capabilities the Russians can afford, paying for "cannon fodder" services, he explained.
Grabski argues that the Russian military machine is currently at the end of its capabilities, using traditional methods of recruiting soldiers. According to the expert, the trend indicating increasing Russian losses "indicates the enemy's inability to conduct mass combat operations and offensive actions over large areas of the front in the near future."
