Russia loses 15-20,000 military personnel a month just in killed.

The need to wage war has forced the Ukrainians to develop new tactics, new methods, new equipment and new technologies that work effectively. This was stated by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in an interview with Fox News published on May 14.

"It's impressive. There's no doubt about it. I mean, if you look, you'll see that the Russians are losing five times as many soldiers a month as the Ukrainians, and Ukraine is a smaller country and therefore a smaller army," Rubio said.

He noted that the Russian Federation loses 15,000-20,000 military personnel a month exactly in killed, not wounded.
