United States House lawmakers who attended a classified briefing on 27 July on Ukraine said Biden administration officials informed them that more than 75,000 Russians have been killed or wounded during the war on Ukraine, CNN has reported.
Democratic Rep. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan, who serves on the House Armed Services Committee and recently visited Ukraine, told CNN that the conversation in the briefing included "what more we can and should be doing for the Ukrainians, literally in the next three to six weeks, very urgently."
Lawmakers were also told that the Russian military is fatigued, but Ukrainians are looking for additional reinforcements as they aim to launch a counteroffensive in the south before the winter.
According to Ukraine's estimates, Russia has lost around 40,230 troops as of 28 July.
