The mercenaries of Wagner's group probably suffered losses of 40,000 wounded and 20,000 killed.

"Thus, in general, the russian side probably suffered losses from 220,000 to 280,000 wounded and about 70,000 killed. And the total losses of russian fighters are from 290,000 to 350,000 people. The median of this range is 320,000 total losses of the russian side," the message says.

As British analysts have pointed out, even among russian officials there is a low level of understanding of the overall casualty figures due to a long-standing culture of dishonest reporting in the armed forces.

It will be recalled that earlier in British intelligence it was announced that the aggressor country of russia began deploying a newly formed division of paratroopers in the occupied part of the Kherson Region.

In addition, last day, December 3, the Ukrainian military liquidated another 770 russian occupiers.
