"Russian losses are beginning to approach around 180,000 dead or wounded soldiers," Norwegian defence chief General Eirik Kristoffersen said in an interview with TV2, without specifying how the numbers were calculated."Ukrainian losses are probably over 100,000 dead or wounded. In addition, Ukraine has about 30,000 civilians who died in this terrible war," the Norwegian general said.
Despite heavy losses, "Russia is able to continue [this war] for quite a long time," General Kristoffersen said on Sunday, citing Moscow's mobilisation and arms-production capacities.
