Putin shifts to bomb terror as front-line victory stalls in Ukraine
FAZ·RU · UA·2 days ago
Ukraine's General Staff reports cumulative Russian military casualties of 1,540,700 since Feb 24, 2022, with 1,750 added in the last day. The figure is a Ukrainian estimate, not independently verified, and reflects ongoing attrition rather than a new development. It underscores the sustained intensity of the conflict and its human cost.
Ukrainian forces have achieved notable territorial gains in September, marking the largest net monthly loss for Russia since June 2023. This contradicts Russian claims of accelerated advances and indicates sustained pressure on Russian lines, despite continued Russian offensive actions in specific areas. The high casualty rates reported by Ukraine underscore the ongoing intensity of the conflict.
