“Russia is continuing to lose more than 1,000 soldiers every day fighting in Ukraine, with the latest average putting the losses at nearly four times what it was during the initial invasion, according to UK military officials. While both Moscow and Kyiv have stayed silent on the number of troops killed in the war, the UK Ministry of Defense estimated Monday that Russia lost 1,187 troops daily in August, with September expected to have matching numbers. UK officials said the Kremlin’s casualty count peaked in May with an estimated 1,262 troops killed a day, with the number remaining over 1,100 since then. May’s number, which saw a dramatic uptick over the violent battles in Kharkiv, was nearly four times that of March 2022, the first complete month after Russia began its invasion where it lost about 386 soldiers a day, according to UK officials.” (09/23/24)
