The Russian army has lost almost 10,000 soldiers in less than a month since the invasion of Ukraine, a pro-Kremlin newspaper revealed before quickly scrubbing the figures.
Vladimir Putin ’s apparent aims of a quick toppling of the Ukraine government with a “special military operation” on February 24 have not gone to plan due to stubborn resistance from their neighbours.
So far no major city has fallen to the Russian army and due to the slowness of the invasion Putin’s forces have taken to heavy shelling which is in turn causing a heavy loss of life.
