In the past day, Russia has lost up to 1,060 soldiers, 30 artillery systems, 20 armoured combat vehicles, and 9 tanks, according to the latest data reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The latest report from the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, published on Facebook, presented recent losses suffered by the Russian armed forces.

The numbers are catastrophic for Vladimir Putin's army. Russia has lost 1,060 soldiers, 30 artillery systems, 20 armoured vehicles, and 9 tanks.

Since 24 February 2022, marking the start of the war, the Russian armed forces have suffered enormous losses in both personnel and equipment.

Russia has lost approximately 578,000 soldiers and military staff, 8,390 tanks, 16,161 armoured combat vehicles, 16,086 artillery systems, 1,131 multiple rocket launch systems, and 2,697 special vehicles and other equipment.

is Russia afraid of the European Union? Putin responds

Recently, Germany announced closer cooperation with the USA and the deployment of long-range missiles in the country. In response, Russian President Vladimir Putin threatened that if such a transfer occurs, Russia would lift the moratorium on deploying short- and medium-range missiles, including on Russian Navy ships.

Russia has very tense relations with almost all countries in the European Union. Propagandists there almost daily threaten the outbreak of war on television. The exception is Hungary, which has not criticised Russia for its stance on Ukraine since the beginning of the war.
