Russia does not reveal the number of its victims in the war in Ukraine, but European defence officials have said the total number of victims in October is the largest to date.

Radakin told the BBC that the Russian people are paying a very expensive price” for the invasion of Ukraine that his president, Vladimir Putin, launched in February 2022.

The number of those killed or injured is about to reach 700,000 for Russia. This is the great pain and suffering that the Russian nation must endure because of Putin's” ambitions, he said.

He said that, while Russia is marking progress and putting it under pressure from Ukraine, losses are suffering “for the capture of small parts of territory”.

The cost of the war, which according to him is over 40 percent of public expenditures in defence and security, is also declassifying “” Russia.

Radakin said Western allies will stay close to Ukraine “as necessary”, despite suspicions that were born for American support after Donald Trump won the presidential election early in the week.

The war in Ukraine began on February 24, 2022.

Russian President Vladimir Putin calls war “special military operation” to demilitarise Ukraine.
