Vice Marshal Sean Bell, who served 32 years in the British Royal Air Force says that Russia is not really the threat it once was after two years of war.The former British defense chief added that Putin's barbaric invasion of Ukraine has depleted the Kremlin's forces to such an extent that Russia will be unable to pose a threat for at least the next decade.Despite the war in Europe, ongoing fighting between Israel and Hamas and last week's major drone and missile attack on Jerusalem by Iran, a military analyst insists the world is not on the brink of a new global conflict."Paradoxically, the world has become a safer place since Russia invaded Ukraine," Vice Marshal Bell told Mail Online."We are absolutely not on the brink of a Third World War. The war in Gaza will be over. Obviously, nobody wants to see that escalation... The war between Russia and Ukraine will end," he said.According to Kyiv's estimates, Russia allegedly lost more than 400,000 soldiers, and this number is huge, if compared to the approximately 15,000 Soviet soldiers killed and 53,000 wounded in Afghanistan during the Soviet-Afghan war, which lasted nine years - from 1979 to 1989.Putin also reportedly lost nearly 6,500 tanks, more than 12,000 armored vehicles and over 330 planes and around 325 helicopters, according to Ukrainian statistics. The figures - although unconfirmed - also represent heavy losses on the Ukrainian side.
