He emphasized that the Russian people are paying an "extraordinary price" for the invasion of Ukraine.
Russia is about to lose 700,000 people killed and wounded — this is a huge pain and suffering that the Russian people are forced to endure because of Putin's ambitions, — noted the commander of the British army.
