Russia has faced a significant increase in casualties in its ongoing invasion of Ukraine, with the Ukrainian Defense Ministry reporting a record number of losses last week. According to the ministry, Russia suffered 11,370 losses in a single week, marking the highest weekly toll since the invasion began.
The Ukrainian Defense Ministry emphasized its commitment to making the occupiers pay a heavy price for their actions, stating, “We make the occupiers pay the highest price for their terror.”
Further data from the Ukrainian General Staff of the Armed Forces revealed that Russia experienced an average of 1,498 daily casualties in the first 12 days of November, surpassing the previous month's record of 1,354 daily losses. The UK Defense Ministry highlighted the upward trajectory of casualties, indicating a continued increase in the coming days.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon's Deputy press secretary confirmed the US assessment that Russia is still enduring approximately 1,200 casualties per day. The US remains vigilant in monitoring the situation and providing updates on the ongoing conflict.
Despite the significant losses, Russia's casualty numbers remain undisclosed, with former Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu reporting 5,937 troop fatalities in September 2022. However, no official updates have been released by the Russian Ministry of Defense since then, leaving the true extent of casualties unclear.
