RUSSIA would undergo virtually two million extra casualties if it tries to take Ukraine’s 4 jap areas by pressure, UK officers have claimed.
Vladimir Putin has demanded Ukraine withdraws from Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhia and Kherson.
The Russian tyrant has reportedly informed US President Donald Trump that he may nonetheless seize the territories anyway if the peace deal negotiations collapse.
However an intelligence briefing from the British Ministry of Defence advised it will take Russia one other 4½ years to attain it primarily based on its present advances.
It stated that “would result in roughly 1,930,000 additional Russian casualties” — both killed or wounded.
The memo continues: “That is along with the roughly 1,060,000 casualties Russia has already doubtless sustained since launching the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, together with round 250,000 killed or lacking presumed useless.”

Yesterday combating continued, with Russian missiles raining down in Bilozerske within the Donetsk area.
But Ukraine claimed to have made main features within the oblast, retaking the settlements of Hruzke, Rubizhne, Novovodiane, Petrivka, Vesele and Zolotyi Kolodiaz in a 12-day push.
It got here after Putin’s forces made a sudden offensive to interrupt six miles in direction of Ukraine’s primary defensive position in Donetsk.
President Zelensky has warned the Moscow madman will attempt to assault in bursts within the coming days to strengthen his hand in ceasefire talks.
