Russia Faces Heaviest Casualties in Ukraine War

Admiral Tony Radakin, the UK's chief of defense staff, reported that Russian forces experienced their highest casualties since the start of the Ukraine war, averaging 1,500 soldiers killed or wounded daily in October. This brings Russia's total losses to nearly 700,000 since the invasion began in February 2022. Radakin described these losses as an 'extraordinary price' for the Russian people, primarily incurred for minimal territorial gains. Despite these significant losses, Russia continues to make tactical advancements, putting pressure on Ukraine. The UK remains committed to supporting Ukraine, as Prime Minister Keir Starmer reaffirmed Britain’s unwavering assistance amid concerns over potential shifts in U.S. foreign policy following the recent presidential election. Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces have launched drone attacks on Moscow, further intensifying the conflict.
