In a stark assessment delivered at the Collective Security Treaty Organization's defense ministers’ meeting in Kazakhstan, Russian Defense Minister Andrey Belousov revealed that Ukraine has lost over 35,000 troops and thousands of pieces of weaponry in May alone. Belousov emphasized that the Russian military is systematically reducing Ukraine’s combat potential, crippling their ability to resist effectively. Faced with significant battlefield losses, Kiev has resorted to intensified attacks on Russian civilian infrastructure in an attempt to demonstrate strength to its Western supporters.

Ukrainian soldiers have expressed frustration with the inadequacy of US-made M1A1 Abrams tanks against Russian forces and drones.
