Russian President Vladimir Putin regrets the losses in the special military operation in Ukraine, Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko said, BelTA reports.
"There are different situations in this conflict: some go on attacks, others defend themselves. Both sides suffer heavy losses. Does Putin regret this or not? Of course he does, he is a living person," Lukashenko said.
According to the Belarusian leader, Putin firmly believes that he is right. Putin offered the West a solution to the conflict in Ukraine, to which he received no response, Lukashenko noted.
In October, the Russian Armed Forces continued their offensive. The Russian Armed Forces are using an effective offensive strategy, senior research fellow at the Royal United Services Institute for Security and Defence Studies, Jack Watling, wrote for Foreign Affairs on October 21. The Russian troops have thus been able to annihilate key fortified areas of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Due to a lack of ammunition and armored vehicles, the Ukrainian army is forced to use infantry to hold the front, which increases the losses considerably.
