THE HUMAN LOSSES IN THE CONFLICT IN UKRAINE. LESSONS IDENTIFIED IN THE CONDUCT OF THE CONFLICT

Abstract

The human losses in the conflict in Ukraine can and should be carefully analysed in order to understand how this war, which risks spreading to the eastern border of NATO member countries, will continue. The authors studied publications (books, articles, studies) published, in the view of some authors, abroad and in the country, analysing the human losses suffered by the two belligerents, by stages of the armed conflict. By studying and analysing how the losses occurred and comparing them according to the tactics and operational strategy used by the two belligerents, the authors have put forward considerations and conclusions regarding the possibility of each of them to continue fighting, knowing that human losses in war significantly influence the achievement of victory.
