Russia has suffered a staggering loss of over 300,000 troops since the outset of its invasion of Ukraine in February last year.
The General Staff of Ukraine’s armed forces disclosed the figure on Tuesday, underlining the substantial toll exacted on the Russian military in the ongoing conflict.
Beyond the immense human cost, Ukraine claims that Russia has also lost more than 5,000 tanks in the battle.
The claim comes as the Ministry of Defence, earlier this week, expressed its belief that Russia is currently facing what could be its most severe losses this year.
The assessment coincides with Russia’s launch of a “major” assault on the eastern town of Avdiivka.
The situation on the ground continues to evolve rapidly, with these latest numbers shedding light on the intensity of the conflict.
