According to Kiev, Russia is on track to inflict 550,000 casualties in the war against Ukraine, with daily casualties reportedly approaching 2,000 every 24 hours.
Russia said on Monday that it experienced its deadliest day yet in the war, with 1,950 people killed and wounded, according to official figures released by the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Ukraine claims to have inflicted 1,770 casualties on Russian forces, a figure that had decreased slightly as of Tuesday's 24-hour period.
Ukraine said it had destroyed 47 Russian tanks and 130 armored fighting vehicles over the past two days, 81 of which were destroyed on Monday alone. The main cause of the large number of casualties was a Russian counterattack to retake territory in Kursk, which also involved North Korean troops.
Russia Now Suffering Highest Daily Casualties in Ukraine Yet, Says UK Defence Intelligencehttps://t.co/ClIMRoQGvg

The casualties estimated on Monday, if correct, would be double the daily moving average allegedly inflicted on Russia this time last year and the first days of the conflict in March-April 2022. Even this is more than five times the number of casualties experienced by Kremlin forces. .
The huge increase in daily deaths and injuries is a result of tactics from rapid maneuver warfare earlier in the war, when Russia tried to storm Kiev and seize the government center before the resistance fully emerged and became a war of attrition. It emphasizes change. Today's “human sea tactics”.
As always in wartime, the truth about casualties is a matter of morale and a closely guarded secret on both sides. Nevertheless, Western intelligence agencies, including the General Directorate of Ukraine, are trying to assess the extent to which the war is depleting Russia's reserves and combat capabilities. Ukraine claims that Russia has now suffered more than 714,000 casualties (casualties) since the war began, but this falls short of the “possible” figure drawn up by the British Ministry of Defense in early October. Although this is slightly higher than the estimate of “high,” it is generally in agreement. 648,000 people were killed and injured.

Just last weekend in the UK put it in public Russian military casualties are approaching, but have not yet reached 700,000. These, in turn, strengthen Ukraine's claim that it inflicted 500,000 casualties on the Russian Federation in the spring.
While Russian casualties are widely and frequently discussed, the status of the Ukrainian military is less of a subject of public speculation by supporting Western governments and media. Kiev is not in the habit of publishing its own figures, but President Zelenskiy said in February 2024, the second anniversary of the start of the civil war, that 31,000 Ukrainians had been killed in action.
Recently, the Wall Street Journal, a US publication adjacent to intelligence agencies, place the figure nearby In the fall, 500,000 Ukrainians were killed or injured. The US government is more conservative at about 300,000, but Russia necessarily claims the largest number, with more than 500,000 said to be in the spring. Russia claims to have destroyed more than 32,000 vehicles and hundreds of tanks in the Battle of Kursk alone.
