According to figures released on November 11, the Russian losses in Ukraine have reached a daily record high of 1,770.
The previous record of 1,740 was set on May 13.
According to the General Staff of Ukraine’s Armed Forces (GAFU), Russia’s total casualties currently stand at 710 660.
The figures do include dead, wounded and missing. These figures are in line with those of Western nations.
Western officials claim that October was the most difficult month for Russian forces. While the Kremlin doesn’t announce the number killed and injured, they do report the total.
The BBC reported on Nov. 10 that the number of Russian troops killed and injured last month was 1,500 “every day”. This is according to Admiral Anthony Radakin, Chief Admiral of the U.K. Defence Staff.
This figure is higher than that of the U.K. Defence Minister John Healey who told The Telegraph in November 8 that Russia had suffered 41,980 deaths and injuries during October, a daily average 1,354.
Some experts believe that the recent surge in losses may be a factor in the deployment of North Korean forces to Russia.
