The British defense department recalled the requirements of the illegitimate President of Russia Vladimir Putin to control the Lugansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhya and Kherson regions and appreciated the promotion and possibilities of the invaders.
“Based on the pace of advance of Russia on the battlefield in 2025, Russian troops will need about 4.4 years to capture 100% of the territory of four Ukrainian regions,” British intelligence said.
The intelligence also noted that+ according to the average daily loss of Russia in 2025, which is reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, another 4.4 years of the war will lead to about 1 million 930 thousand additional losses from Russia (killed and wounded). In addition to about 1 million 60 thousand losses, which Russia probably has already suffered since the beginning of a full -scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, including about 250 thousand killed or missing (probably dead), said British intelligence.
“Russia announced the illegal annexation of four international recognized Ukrainian regions, including those areas that are controlled by Ukraine, in September 2022, which contradicts its own official recognition of Independence and Sovereignty of Ukraine after the collapse of the Soviet Union,” the report said.
