The General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces has released the latest Russian losses. Since the beginning of the war of aggression on Ukraine, the country has lost 320,670 soldiers, according to Ukrainian figures.
As reported by the Ukrainians on platform X, formerly known as Twitter, this number includes the 850 soldiers that Russia has lost in the past 24 hours. Additionally, Ukraine has destroyed seven Russian tanks, bringing the total number of destroyed tanks to 5,446.
According to the report, Russia has also lost 10,188 armored combat vehicles, 10,159 vehicles and fuel tanks, 7,769 artillery systems, 899 multiple rocket launchers, 589 air defense systems, 323 aircraft, 324 helicopters, 5,784 drones, and 22 boats.
These claims have not been independently verified or confirmed. Therefore, they should be treated with caution. In warfare, it can be advantageous for conflicting parties to deliberately spread misinformation to strengthen their own position or weaken that of the opponent.
