Russian army suffered its biggest losses since the beginning of the war in the last six weeks – British intelligence
British intelligence believes that over the past six weeks, the losses of the Russian occupiers have probably been the largest since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
This is stated in the intelligence report of the British Ministry of Defense, published on Monday, November 27.
According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Russian casualties averaged 931 people per day in November, the report says.
The intelligence officers noted that the Russian army previously suffered the highest losses in March 2023 with an average of 776 killed soldiers per day. This was in the midst of the Russian offensive on Bakhmut.
The British Ministry of Defense noted that although intelligence cannot verify the methodology of the calculations, given the total number of killed and wounded Russian soldiers, the figures look plausible.
British intelligence explained that the heavy losses were caused by the aggressor country’s offensive on Avdiivka, Donetsk region.
According to the General Staff, 750 Russian occupants were eliminated in Ukraine over the past day. Overall, Russia’s losses since the beginning of the full-scale invasion have exceeded 325,000 troops.
On November 22, Defense Minister Rustem Umerov said that Russia had lost 36,000 of its military in Ukraine over the past six weeks.
Colonel General Oleksandr Syrskyi, Commander of the Land Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, said that since the beginning of November, the Eastern Group of Troops (EGTF Khortytsia) has eliminated more than 6,500 Russian occupants.
At the same time, Colonel Janno Märk, deputy chief of staff of the Estonian division for operations, said that Russia had lost 3,500 occupants on the left bank of the Dnipro River in Kherson region over the past month.
