Almost 80-85% of the daily losses of the occupiers account for the Kurakhiv direction, where the Russian occupiers continue to advance.
This was reported by the spokesman of the operational and strategic grouping of the troops of the Khortytsia National Security Service of Ukraine, Nazar Voloshyn, on the air of the telethon “Edyni novyni”.
Voloshyn noted that the Russian occupiers continue their assault in the Kurakhiv direction. The spokesman said that the enemy has aggressive plans to seize Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
“The dynamics of the enemy’s offensive actions change every day, because the enemy is trying to reach the administrative borders of Donetsk and Luhansk regions. However, our defense forces resisted him, inflicting heavy losses. Almost 80-85% of the enemy’s daily losses fall on our eastern operational zone,” he added.
According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, over the past day, the army of the aggressor country Russia lost 1,510 soldiers in the war in Ukraine. In total, since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the losses of the Russian Federation reached 727,250 soldiers killed and wounded.
Russia’s losses in the war against Ukraine — what is known
On October 14, The Wall Street Journal wrote that in September 2024, Russian troops experienced the deadliest month of the war against Ukraine. According to Western intelligence estimates, Russian losses amounted to 1,200 killed and wounded per day.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyi said in an interview with The Times of India, published on October 28, that Russia lost about 650,000 soldiers killed and wounded in the war in Ukraine.
According to the British Defense Minister John Gealy, the losses of the Russian Federation in October broke the record and amounted to approximately 1,354 people every day.
Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiga stated at a meeting of the UN Security Council on November 19 that Russia loses about 1.5 thousand soldiers killed and wounded in Ukraine every day. In ten days, these losses, according to him, are equal to those that the USSR suffered in ten years of war in Afghanistan.
As The New York Times points out, the Russian occupiers hide real data on their killed and wounded in the war against Ukraine, but researchers and journalists have found innovative ways of counting, and it is about “colossal losses”.
