British army chief speaks out on Russian president’s state of health

“As military professionals we see a relatively stable regime in Russia, President Putin has been able to stifle any opposition […] and no one at the top has the motivation to challenge him. According to him, “the challenge posed by Russia will last” potentially for “decades in terms of threat” and the prime minister who succeeds Boris Johnson, who has resigned, will have to be aware that Russia is “the greatest threat” to the United Kingdom.

50,000 Russian soldiers dead

Tony Radakin told the BBC that the Ukrainian army was “absolutely” confident that it would win the war sparked by Russia’s invasion of the country in February. According to British Army estimates, Russia “has lost more than 30% of its ground combat effectiveness”.

“This means that 50,000 Russian soldiers died or were injured in this conflict, that almost 1,700 Russian tanks were destroyed, that almost 4,000 armored vehicles belonging to Russia were destroyed,” said Tony Radakin.
