Podoljak said.
He added that Russia focused most of its trained soldiers on the siege of Bahmut, as well as the units of the most combat-capable private military companies (he could be thinking of the Wagner group here).
The counselor said, in defense of Bahmut they have two goals:
to gain time to replenish their forces, and to cause heavy losses to the Russian forces.
According to him, the Russians will lose five to seven times as many soldiers at Bahmut as the Ukrainians, the number of dead and injured Russian militants may already be 40,000.
