US and European officials estimate that some 400 Russian soldiers are dying daily since the invasion of Ukraine began, according to information collected by The New York Times, something that would show signs of weakness on the part of Putin’s strategy.
But determining the real number of Russian casualties in battle is a complicated job, since the information usually be varied or difficult to verify; For now, in six days of war, the Ukrainian army has stood out for its resistance, and information has been collected that in specific cases has shown the surrender of Russian troops and the refusal to continue fighting.
Given what has been classified as “surprising” for the West, the Ukrainian troops have been able to contain the Russian offensive against the city of Kharkiv, and after an intense bombardment, they regained control of the area, with reports of charred remains of Russian soldiers, as well as tanks and vehicles destroyed in the surroundings of that city.
For the moment, the possible number of Russian casualties would not be the only headache for the Kremlin, because in recent days, the United States and its allies have resorted to numerous sanctions, which have been replicated in the private sector in order to further isolate Russia.
