The above-mentioned US officials said that Russia has lost about 3% to 5% of its tanks, aircraft, artillery and other military assets in Ukraine, while Ukraine’s losses in terms of combat power are about 10%.
U.S. and Western officials warn that the ratios are difficult to calculate and are likely to change. That's not just because both sides are taking losses as the Russian-Ukrainian conflict drags on for a week, but also because both Russian and Ukrainian armies are being resupplied.
CNN said that this serious imbalance highlights the pessimistic view of U.S. and Western officials that although Ukraine's resistance is stronger than previously expected, the Ukrainian armed forces may still be defeated as Russia intensifies its offensive posture. .
Although some Western countries have provided military assistance to Ukraine, U.S. officials say that Ukraine is still far inferior to Russia. According to sources familiar with the intelligence, the precision cruise missiles that Russia relied on in the early days severely damaged Ukraine's military infrastructure. At the same time, Ukraine continues to consume "Javelin" anti-tank missiles aided by Western countries.
Ukrainian President Zelensky said in an interview on the 1st: "I have talked to Biden many times, and I have told them many times that Ukraine will resist and fight stronger than anyone else, but We cannot deal with Russia on our own.”
