In a shocking revelation, the UK's Chief of Defence Staff, Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, has stated that Russian forces suffered an average of 1,500 casualties per day in October 2024. This is the highest monthly loss since the start of the full-scale invasion in February 2022. The total losses for Russia are nearing 700,000, a figure that highlights the extraordinary price the Russian nation is paying for Putin's ambition. This information comes as Ukraine's General Staff estimates that the total losses of Russian forces in Ukraine amount to almost 709,000 troops killed and wounded. Russia's rapid offensive pace is an attempt to seize as much territory as possible before the winter freeze. But at what cost?
