Russia is becoming increasingly reliant on foreign fighters in the war in Ukraine as its forces sustain more losses than they¡¯re able to replace, U.K. Defence Secretary John Healey said.
Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov told his European counterparts this week that Kyiv was able to inflict more Russian casualties than the Kremlin was able to recruit over the last two months, Healey said on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference.
That¡¯s forcing Russia¡¯s military forces to depend more on thousands of foreign fighters, he said, including recruits from India, Pakistan, Nepal, Cuba, Nigeria and Senegal.
