According to Global Network citing the latest reports from the US media, the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee held a hearing a few days ago to discuss the direction of the Russia-Ukraine war. Lieutenant General Scott Bellier, director of the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency who participated in the meeting, broke the news. , in the past two months of fighting, Ukraine has caused heavy losses to the Russian army. "8 to 10" senior generals of the Russian army alone were killed. At the same time, CIA Director William Burns said that approximately 25,000 Russian troops were killed in the conflict, which means that the losses of the Russian army in the Ukraine conflict "far exceeded expectations."
It is worth noting that the United States did not disclose the casualties of the Ukrainian army. It only stated that there were more than 7,000 Ukrainian civilian casualties and accused the Russian army of being responsible for this "humanitarian disaster." Russia refuted that Ukraine "Nazis" and "ultranationalists" committed countless crimes against civilians in the Donbas region, but Western countries turned a blind eye. The outside world believes that the United States has overestimated the number of Russian casualties, and the losses in Ukraine are much higher. However, Zelensky has made it clear that the specific casualty figures will not be announced until the end of the war to avoid causing public confusion. Panic, and a blow to the morale of frontline troops.
US media said that the US military and intelligence agencies have been paying close attention to the losses of the Russian army in Ukraine, especially the soaring number of casualties among senior Russian generals. The Pentagon believes that for a modern army, senior Russian military commanders The number of casualties among officers is "exceptionally high", even very surprising. You must know that the US military has been fighting in Afghanistan for 20 years, and only one major general has been killed, and that was not on the frontline battlefield, but was " An Afghan soldier who rebelled was killed in a sneak attack.
U.S. intelligence officials believe that the reason why the Russian army lost so many senior generals in Ukraine is, on the one hand, because of the tradition of the Russian army. Senior commanders are accustomed to understanding the battle situation and boosting the morale of their subordinates on the front line, which exposes them to danger. The risk has increased greatly; on the other hand, it is because of the comprehensive intelligence support of the United States. After the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the U.S. military provided real-time intelligence sharing to Ukraine. A large amount of valuable intelligence helped the Ukrainian army severely damage the Russian army, and even the Russian Black Sea Fleet The flagship USS Moscow was sunk, and it is said that there is also the shadow of the United States behind it.
Military experts pointed out that with its advanced intelligence and reconnaissance network, the U.S. military can obtain confidential information on Russian military operations that Ukraine cannot master, including the whereabouts of Russian generals. Chief of Staff General Gerasimov secretly visited the Ukrainian frontline for inspections, but was suddenly attacked by Ukrainian army artillery fire. This is undoubtedly "attributable" to the US military.
