Quote: "During the meeting of the Staff [the Staff of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief - ed.] today [2 March - ed.], we looked at the Russian Federation’s losses, especially its losses in Bakhmut.
Yes, the situation there is difficult, but keep in mind that every day our men and women dispatch hundreds [of Russian soldiers] where they belong, given that they came here to kill us. Now we are killing them.
And the count is 1 to 7 in our favour."
Background:
- On 2 March, the Ministry of Defence of the United Kingdom predicted the weather will worsen, making moving around the city of Bakhmut more difficult. This might give an advantage to Ukrainian forces in the area.
- In February, the Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley, predicted that Ukrainian forces would not retreat from Bakhmut.
