The General & The Journalist · Russia’s war “will last as long as Putin lives” · 16 Sep 2026 podcast

And that's what was been perplexing us.

Obviously, it hasn't happened over the last four and a half years, and we've seen the losses.

There was a really interesting interview that that the head of Ukraine's HUR, Ukraine's military intelligence service, did with our newspaper, The Times, here last week, in which he said that casualty rates for the Russians are now

Up to 1500 a day every day.

And he said that the fatalities amongst those casualties, wounded and dead, are 60%.

So 60% of all their casualties die.

And that is a historically incredible figure.

He also said that at the current rate of losses, by next year, Russians' total number of war casualties will top 2 million.

And you do the maths, that means nearly 10% of all.

All Russian men, aged between twenty-five to forty-nine, will have been wounded or killed in this war.

I mean i incredible biblical figures.

Where is Russia's breaking point?

Yeah, I mean they would say that, wouldn't they?

But I mean we know the numbers are bad and they're not getting any better.

Yeah,

Patrick, I I'm really keen on your views on this because you know, if we're if we're talking about where is the breaking point for Putin and and w there's a couple of developments we can go at this.

You look at the home front, so the military front, I I think it's your view that

that any more matted troops that Putin throws us isn't really going to help because they're badly equipped and they're not doing the right things with them.

But but look at the home front and the aerial campaign between Ukraine and Russia, which is quite finely balanced now, isn't it?

Ukraine's running out of interceptor missiles, but at the same time their D-stripe campaign is causing chaos, certainly amongst Russian industry and Russian energy and oil supply.
