MOSCOW, April 14. AFU officers spoke about the superiority of the Russian army at the front, writes La Vanguardia.
«Ukrainian generals admit that Russian troops outnumber Ukrainian ones by seven to ten times, and if there are more people on the front line (for the Armed Forces of Ukraine — Ed.), then this may still not be enough if they lack the appropriate weapons to deter the enemy,” the publication says.
The article notes that after more than two years conflict, Ukraine finds itself in its most critical situation since February 2022. She needs more soldiers, more weapons and more Western support, writes La Vanguardia.
On April 2, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, at a meeting with the leadership of the Russian Armed Forces, said that since January, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have lost more than 80 thousand military personnel, 14 thousand units of various weapons, including over 1,200 tanks and other armored combat vehicles. He also stated that the Ukrainians, after the failure of the summer counter-offensive, are unsuccessfully trying to gain a foothold on certain lines, and the Russian military continues to push the Ukrainian Armed Forces westward.
