Ukraine's General Staff said Russia lost 1,420 personnel killed and wounded over the past 24 hours, bringing Moscow's cumulative losses in the war to approximately 1,485,200. The figure is part of Ukraine's routine daily casualty reporting on Russian military losses since the start of the full-scale invasion. Western officials cited by The Guardian say Russia is losing around 6,000 more troops in Ukraine each month than it is able to recruit, even as Moscow continues to escalate strikes on Ukrainian civilian and energy infrastructure. The assessment suggests a widening gap between battlefield attrition and Russia's ability to replenish its forces, a dynamic that could affect the sustainability of its offensive operations over time.
