A Ukrainian military expert predicts that the Russians may suffer record personnel losses in May. These losses could amount to 30,000 soldiers, which is Russia's average monthly mobilization potential.

Such significant Russian losses resulted from their offensive actions north of the Kharkiv region. - This could be the cause of the enemy's further failures - assesses Sergey Grabski in an interview for Channel24.

According to the military expert's predictions, the Russians may lose about 30,000 soldiers by the end of May, which is the peak of their mobilization capabilities in a month.

"The Russian military machine is at the end of its capabilities"

Grabski points out the limitations of the Russian mobilization system's capabilities. Russia can painlessly call up about 20,000 soldiers to the ranks of its armed forces every month. He also considered the financial capabilities that the Russians could afford, paying for "cannon fodder" services.

Grabski argues that the Russian military machine is currently at the end of its capabilities, using traditional methods of recruiting soldiers. According to the expert, the trend indicating increasing Russian losses "indicates the enemy's inability to conduct mass combat operations and offensive actions over large areas of the front in the near future."
