Malyar cited figured she said had come from the commander of the South Operational Command, Major General Andriy Kovalchuk.

According to Malyar, the major general said that the critical limit for the loss ratio is one to eight. He said the Russian army would psychologically “break down” after that.

Kovalchuk added that the invaders have found themselves in a rather difficult situation in the south, but that was not time for the Ukrainian military to relax.

“On the contrary, we must gather all our strength and power and squeeze the Russian army out of our land,” Malyar said.

The Ukrainian military said that the enemy had suffered the greatest losses in the Kryvyi Rih and Bakhmut areas over the past day.
