Russia-Ukraine Crisis: 7,000 To 15,000 Russians Troops Killed In Fight, Estimates NATO
Russia-Ukraine Crisis: On Wednesday, Russia is stalled in a crushing military mission, with untold numbers of dead, not a single prompt finish to be seen, and its economy disabled by Western sanctions.
New Delhi: The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) on Wednesday estimated 7,000 to 15,000 Russians have been killed in a month of fighting in Ukraine as reported by news agency AP.
A senior NATO military authority said the estimate depended on data from Ukrainian authorities, what Russia has delivered - deliberately or not - and intelligence gathered from open sources.
The authority talked about the state of anonymity under guidelines set by NATO. At the point when Russia released its attack on February 24 in Europe's greatest hostile since World War II and waved the possibility of nuclear acceleration if the West interceded, a lightning-swift toppling of Ukraine's democratically chosen government seemed likely.
On Wednesday marking four full weeks of conflict, Russia is stalled in a crushing military mission, with untold numbers of dead, not a single prompt finish to be seen, and its economy disabled by Western sanctions. U.S. President Joe Biden and key partners are meeting in Brussels and Warsaw this week to talk about conceivable new corrective measures and more military support to Ukraine.

As Biden went out on Wednesday for the flight to Europe, he cautioned there is a "real threat'' Russia could utilize chemical weapons and said he will discuss that danger with the other leaders.
The conflict's financial and international shockwaves - with taking off energy costs, fears for worldwide food supplies, and Russia and China aligning in a new world order with reverberations of the Cold War - have resonated across a planet yet to emerge from the COVID-19 emergency.
With appeals to governments around the world for help, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has been changed into a wartime leader and Russian President Vladimir Putin's No. 1 enemy. While addressing Japan's parliament on Wednesday, Zelenskyy said a month of war has killed thousands, including no less than 121 of Ukraine's kids.
