All Russian Marine brigades suffer casualties in Ukraine - CIT

The CIT noted a news report of the death of a Marine with the 61st Separate Marine Brigade, Ukrinform wrote.

Analysts recall that the Marines are one of the most capable and trained units in Russia.

"Their losses are notable in light of rumors of a possible further offensive on Moldova. If the most capable units are largely incapacitated, there is no one to employ to attack Moldova, Poland, or the Baltic states," the CIT said.

It should be recalled that Ruslan Leviev, founder of Russia’s independent analytical group Conflict Intelligence Team, earlier reported that to 40% of the Russian contractors refuse redeployment to the front lines.
