[VOENNOEDELO] The expert also answered questions about the slow advance of the Russian army.

Russia continues to conduct a special military operation in Ukraine. Military expert, analyst and captain of the first rank in the reserve Konstantin Sivkov expressed his opinion on the effectiveness of the Russian military special operation. He estimated the losses among the fighters of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation at one tenth of a percent. The expert's words are quoted by the SM-News news agency .

According to Sivkov, losses among Russian military personnel in Ukraine are within 0.1%.
(150,000 x 0.1)/100(for the percent) =150, if I didn’t miss a step. I assume that doesn’t include prisoners of war. What about the dead Chechen special forces and the Wagner Group assassins?
At the same time, critical losses were recorded only once, when the Ukrainian military defeated a convoy of a sabotage and reconnaissance group of logistic support. Similar cases did not recur during the entire operation.

The expert also answered questions about the slow advance of the Russian army. He recalled that the personnel needed to rest, since the advancement into the interior of the territory and the fighting were physically hard for the soldiers. Also, units need to promptly supply fuel and ammunition. Such moments, although they slow down the offensive, are planned and necessary.

Recall that on February 21, Russia recognized the sovereignty of the LDNR. This was done after Ukraine again began intensive shelling of settlements in Donbass. The leadership of the republics decided to evacuate civilians to neighboring regions of Russia and requested emergency assistance from Moscow. On February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a special operation to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine. It should be noted that the war in Donbass has been going on for 8 years. It began after the Luhansk and Donetsk regions of Ukraine refused to recognize the legitimacy of the new government that came to power after the coup in Kyiv.

Earlier, political scientist Kedmi estimated the pace of the special operation of the RF Armed Forces in Ukraine.
