Russian general says Ukraine suffered 700,000 casualties.
Major General Alaudinov stated that the irreparable losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces have exceeded 700,000 servicemen.
According to RIA Novosti, Major General Apty Alaudinov, Deputy Head of the Political-Military Directorate of the Russian Armed Forces and commander of the Akhmat special forces unit, stated that the irreparable losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces along the entire front line have exceeded 700,000 servicemen.
“The irreparable losses on the Ukrainian side so far have exceeded 700,000 people. In this regard, units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are facing great difficulties and will continue to worsen.”
Earlier, on July 29, Major General Alaudinov stated that the Ukrainian army had completely lost its first line of defense in the Donetsk special operations zone, and that the Russian army there had the opportunity to maneuver in different directions.
On July 17, General Alaudinov stated that the Ukrainian government had realized that their war "had failed."
Major General Alaudinov has repeatedly stated that Russia's military operation in Ukraine is nearing its end.
"We intend to conclude the special military operation this year. I am quite certain that we will finish the operation by next fall. I said this in 2022, 2023, and 2024. Our adversaries have been able to sense this," said the Russian Major General in early July 2024.
In June, Alaudinov also predicted that Russia's special military operation in Ukraine would be completed by 2024 with Russian forces completely defeating the Ukrainian armed forces.
