Russia’s Military Takes Heavy Losses in Ukraine
The Ukrainian government says Russian forces have suffered their second-highest number of casualties since the invasion began. The General Staff of Ukraine’s Armed Forces reports that 1,950 Russian soldiers were lost over the past day.
This is a record loss for Russia in one day. The total number of casualties for both sides now stands at over 712,000. These figures include both dead and wounded soldiers.
Russian forces are increasing pressure on the front lines as they try to take back territory that was previously lost to Ukraine. Western countries believe that Russian President Vladimir Putin wants to regain control of this land before a certain date.
In the Zaporizhzhia Sector, Russian troops have renewed their attacks in early October. Kyiv is warning about a possible push by Russia in the south and continued advances in the east.
Ukraine’s military intelligence says Russia plans to use armored cars and many drones in an upcoming attack. The exact timing of this attack is not clear.
The loss of life on both sides continues to grow, with over 712,000 casualties reported so far.
