Losses of the Russian army in the war are expected to increase in the next two months. This could be due to Russia's intensified offensive operations, informs the Ministry of Defense of Britain on X.

According to intelligence reports, in April 2024, the average daily number of Russian casualties (killed and wounded) was 899.

"It is likely that Russia's casualty rate will again increase over the next two months as they renew dedicated offensive operations in eastern Ukraine. This follows a slight decrease in the pace of operations over the past two months since the fall of Avdiivka," the summary states.

In Britain, it is believed that Russia has lost 465,000 soldiers since the full-scale war began.

According to British intelligence, Moscow has adapted its forces to a war of attrition, focusing on quantity rather than quality. This will have long-term consequences for the Russian army.
