Russia has lost more than 75,000 troops in Ukraine

Slotkin said that representatives of the Biden administration told how many infidels were killed or injured in Ukraine.

We were told that over 75,000 Russians were killed or wounded. And this is a lot, – said the congresswoman.

She added that also more than 80% of the Russian ground forces “bogged down and tired.” Recently, Western and American officials have said that the next few weeks of the war will be decisive, as the Armed Forces of Ukraine plan to launch a major counteroffensive in the South.

In particular, the head of Britain's secret intelligence service MI6, Richard Moore, during the Aspen Security Forum noted that, in his opinion, the occupiers will begin to lose strength in the coming weeks, as they run out of personnel. The United States and the West are confident that Ukraine will try to return Kherson, which the Russians occupied in March.

The purpose of the briefing is urgent assistance to Ukraine

The congresswoman informed that the main topic of the briefing for lawmakers concerned efforts , which the United States can apply to increase the effectiveness of assistance to Ukraine in the coming weeks.

“The main conversation at the briefing was about what else we can and should do for the Ukrainians, literally in the next 3-6 weeks , very urgent. Ukrainians want to move to the South and conduct operations there. And we want them to be as successful as possible,” Slotkin emphasized.

According to her, the words of President Volodymyr Zelensky were confirmed today: “Ukrainians really want to hit Russia in the teeth several times by winter< /strong> “. At the briefing, lawmakers from both parties supported the decision to provide the Ukrainian Armed Forces with long-range ATACMS missiles that can hit targets up to 280 kilometers away.

Ukraine has been urging the US for months to provide these systems, because HIMARS can only hit targets at a distance of about 78 kilometers.However, US national security adviser Jake Sullivan stated that the United States would not provide them, because the Armed Forces could allegedly use ATACMS to strike Russian territory.

Pay attention! The US Senate is also planning to hold a similar closed briefing on the situation in Ukraine.
