The loss of one million soldiers by the aggressor country russia in the war against Ukraine shows that the russian leadership treats its people as cannon fodder.
The Foreign Secretary of the United Kingdom David Lammy stated this on Thursday, June 12.
According to him, current "grim milestone" of one million killed and wounded soldiers of the russian army shows that the russian dictator vladimir putin is using his people as cannon fodder.
"He must stop the killing to allow talks on a just and lasting peace," said Lammy.
The head of the British Foreign Office also emphasized that the huge russian losses show that the Ukrainians will defend their land to the end.
