The battle in Ukraine is taking a toll on Russia’s most capable forces.
The conflict in Ukraine is putting a strain on some of Russia’s most capable units and advanced capabilities, according to a regular bulletin from the British Ministry of Defense on Saturday.
According to the ministry, at least one T-90M, Russia’s most modern tank, has been destroyed in the conflict.
It was claimed that around 100 T-90M tanks are in service with Russia’s best-equipped troops, including those fighting in Ukraine.
According to the research, rebuilding Russia’s armed forces after the battle will take a long time and cost a lot of money. “Sanctions restricting Russia’s access to essential microelectronic components will make replacing modernized and advanced equipment extremely difficult.”
Due to restrictions restricting Russia’s access to crucial microelectronic components, replacing modernized and advanced equipment will be particularly difficult, according to the paper.
Local officials in Mariupol, Ukraine, have accused Russian forces of opening fire on a car carrying citizens from a massive steel plant, killing a fighter and breaking a ceasefire agreement.
Russia has yet to respond to the statement made by the Mariupol city council. Moscow has denied attacking civilians and offered a ceasefire to allow Ukrainian fighters to evacuate citizens trapped in the Azovstal steel complex.
“A car was damaged by Russians using an anti-tank guided weapon on the site of the Azovstal plant during the truce.” “This car was speeding towards civilians in an attempt to evacuate them from the plant,” Mariupol municipal council said in an online statement.
One fighter was killed and six were injured as a result of the shelling. The adversary continues to break all agreements and refuses to comply with security guarantees for civilian evacuation.” The statement of the local council could not be verified by Reuters.
Mariupol has been captured by Russian forces, trapping the city’s final defenders — and scores of civilians — in the Azovstal factory.
The United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) have assisted in the evacuation of some civilians, and Ukraine announced on Friday that a new attempt to evacuate civilians was underway.
