Russian losses

Despite numerous Russian attacks, the Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to successfully defend Ukraine's territory. According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, 191 combat engagements took place over the past day alone, the largest number of which took place in the Kursk sector.

Ukrainian troops eliminated 9 areas where Russian personnel, weapons, and military equipment were concentrated over the past day. Among them, 4 artillery pieces at firing positions, 2 control points, etc. were eliminated.

Since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Russian losses on the Ukrainian front have been steadily increasing.

The level of losses among the Russian occupiers was particularly high in November 2024, which was a record for the number of Russian soldiers and equipment destroyed.

In total, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, since the beginning of Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine, Russia has lost more than 765,000 soldiers.
