The General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces has stated in its daily report that Russia has lost 309,520 soldiers since the beginning of its offensive against Ukraine in February last year.
Additionally, Ukraine has succeeded in destroying a Russian cruise missile in the past 24 hours. Furthermore, according to the General Staff’s report, Ukraine lost 800 soldiers in just one day, as announced on the platform X, formerly known as Twitter. The report also states that Russia has so far lost a total of 5,317 tanks, 10,017 armored combat vehicles, 9,876 vehicles and fuel tanks, 7,489 artillery systems, 877 multiple rocket launchers, 578 air defense systems, 322 aircraft, 324 helicopters, 5,595 drones, 20 ships and boats, and one submarine.
These figures have not yet been independently verified or confirmed. Therefore, they should be considered with caution. In warfare, it can be advantageous for conflicting parties to deliberately disseminate false information to strengthen their own position or weaken that of the opponent.
