Russia still has 'vast majority' of combat power available as invasion continues

Despite having reportedly lost more than 20,000 soldiers in the nearly two mostly unsuccessful months since invading Ukraine, the Russian military still has a “vast majority” of their combat capabilities, according to the Pentagon.

“We still assess that, in general, they have the vast majority of their assembled combat power available to them,” spokesman John Kirby told reporters Monday. “From what they have assembled over the course of the fall and in the early winter months and weeks, they still have a lot of the amassed combat power available to them.”
