The Ukrainian armed forces have lost more than 125,000 people and 16,000 units of weapons over the six-month counteroffensive, Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu said on Friday.Total mobilization in Ukraine, supplies of Western weapons and the introduction of reserves did not change the situation on the battlefield, but only increased the number of losses among Ukrainian troops, the minister said.On October 13, Russian Ambassador to the UN Vasily Nebenzya told a session of the Security Council that Kiev's counteroffensive, which began on June 4, could be considered "formally over."Ukraine's armed forces have not achieved their objectives on any of the axes, as Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu noted in early September.

Ukraine's Military Lost Over 125,000 People Over Six Months of Counteroffensive, Shoigu Says
10:55 01.12.2023 (Updated: 11:19 01.12.2023) In June, Ukraine launched its long-announced counteroffensive, which was repeatedly delayed by a lack of military supplies from Western donors. On September 4, Russian President Vladimir Putin emphasized that the counteroffensive had failed.
The Ukrainian armed forces have lost more than 125,000 people and 16,000 units of weapons over the six-month counteroffensive, Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu said on Friday.
"During the six months of the so-called counteroffensive, the enemy lost over 125,000 people and 16,000 units of various weapons," Shoigu told a meeting on military issues.
Total mobilization in Ukraine,
supplies of Western weapons and the introduction of reserves did not change the situation on the battlefield, but only increased the number of losses among Ukrainian troops, the minister said.
"Our military acts competently and decisively, occupies a more advantageous position, and expands control zones in all directions," he added.
On October 13, Russian Ambassador to the UN Vasily Nebenzya told a session of the Security Council that Kiev's counteroffensive, which began on June 4, could be considered "formally over."
Ukraine's armed forces have not achieved their objectives on any of the axes, as Russian Defense Minister
Sergey Shoigu noted in early September.
