Russian forces lost at least 100,000 soldiers in the "SMO" without capturing the Donetsk oblast. If it were not for North Korea, the front would have collapsed – Prilepin

Russia has lost at least 100,000 people in its war against Ukraine and has not even managed to "liberate" the Donetsk oblast. This is reported by russian propagandist and former "DNR" fighter Zakhar Prilepin on social media.

"Our beloved Russia... has lost at least 100,000 people killed and has failed to reclaim the territory of the DNR in over two years, not even returning to Kramatorsk and Sloviansk. Not to mention Kharkiv and everything else... This is a measure of our country's effectiveness", - he laments.

"If it weren't for North Korea's help in 2023, our front would have collapsed", - Prilepin is convinced.
