Russia has sustained about “180,000 dead or wounded soldiers” during the war in Ukraine, a senior European general estimates, adding that Moscow’s mobilization of conscripts allows for a long war to come.
“They have lost a lot of tanks, armored material, and people,” Norwegian Chief of Defence Eirik Kristoffersen told a Norwegian broadcaster, according to an unofficial translation. “But Russia, at the same time, has an ability to produce more, extract material from its warehouses, and mobilize even more.”
"If they're going to go on the offensive in the winter, [Ukrainians] need it fast," Kristoffersen said.German-made Leopard tanks stand as the most abundant and accessible Western main battle tanks, but German Chancellor Olaf Scholz resisted pressure to authorize their transfer to Ukraine ahead of a major defense conference last week.
