Kyiv: Amid discussions of war and peace, the Ukrainian Army has launched a fierce offensive against Russian forces following a green signal from the United States. While Vladimir Putin’s troops are focused on regaining control of the Kursk region, Ukraine’s forces have intensified their attacks on Russian soldiers. In the past 72 hours, a staggering 3,930 Russian soldiers have been killed in combat.
According to a report by The Kyiv Independent, Ukrainian forces eliminated 1,300 Russian soldiers on March 11, 1,430 on March 12, and 1,200 on March 13, bringing the total casualties to 3,930 in just three days.
A heated debate between former U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy took place at the White House on March 1, leading to a temporary halt in the U.S. sharing intelligence with Ukraine. Due to the lack of intelligence support, the Ukrainian Army was fighting but was unable to inflict significant damage on Russian troops.
Now, with intelligence support restored, Ukraine’s forces are eliminating 55 Russian soldiers per hour, a sharp increase from the previous rate of 40 soldiers per hour when intelligence support was unavailable.
