Russia troops ‘forced to return to Belarus to resupply after heavy losses’ UK claims

Russian troops have been forced to return to Belarus after heavy losses in Ukraine, the UK has claimed.

In its latest intelligence update, the Ministry of Defence said Russian units returned to its neighbour and ally to resupply and reorganise following significant equipment and personnel losses in Ukraine.

“Such activity is placing further pressure on Russia’s already strained logistics and demonstrates the difficulties Russia is having reorganising its units in forward areas within Ukraine,” MoD said in its update.
