Russia sustained more than 10,000 casualties in a week, according to statistics from Ukraine’s military, with the fast-approaching winter season unlikely to bring a lull in high numbers of fighters killed and injured in the grinding conflict.
Moscow has suffered a total of 690,720 casualties since February 2022, Ukraine’s General Staff said on Monday. This includes 1,680 fighters being killed or injured in the past 24 hours, according to Kyiv.
This figure also brings Moscow’s total casualties, per Kyiv’s count, to 10,490 in the previous seven days.

It was a death sentence leaving NK. They were never going to be allowed back in to tell others of the outside world. The only question was how long they’d last.
Probably, but I presume they are there to operate whatever equipment NK sold to Putin as the Russians cant even comprehend inside toilets let alone poo flinging drones.
What is the conversion rate from malnourished North Korean Soldier to Russian (prison-) draftee?
Total madness. How are Russians so dumb that they just keep throwing their lives away like this?
The Russian government cracks down really hard on anyone daring to protest against the war. You can be jailed for even calling it a war - it’s a “special military operation”.

Each of them only does it once, and thinks it’s just a matter of luck when it happens to someone else
Because many signing up for war are doing it for money due to the severe poverty they’re experiencing:
How do you know its the truth?
Casualty counts and battlefield losses are disputed during active conflicts, and experts urge caution when considering tallies offered by either party in a war. Moscow and Kyiv very rarely nod to their own casualty counts.
It’s mind boggling how many times the world came together in the past for total nuclear disarmament and every single time when we almost reached an agreement Russia backed out because they thought it’s all a ruse against them. The are the epitome of the “No, it’s the others that must be wrong.” Meme.
And in a way they were right. Putin used and is continuing using the threat of the nuclear penis to keep the west away from his murderous affairs. Even when it became obvious that all the myths of his powerful army are bullshit, the west still doesn’t do anything substantial to stop the madman, because of the nuclear threat.
I wonder if the Russian military will ever realize that a meat grinder tactic can’t go on forever, especially when a good chunk of the men going on the front would really prefer to be anywhere else.
It’s doing exactly what they want it to do. Their goal isn’t a military victory, their goal is a war as long as possible, and every meatbag they throw into the grinder just makes the military leadership slightly richer.

Kind of. Russia is definitely using this conflict to purge their unwanted. This is still horrifying when you realize that these are not only felons, but also groups like minorities and the poor.
Bittersweet at best. Yes they work for Russia, but they are still 10,000 lives just snuffed out for some deranged madman’s war.
“Lost” seems disingenuous here if we’re talking about casualties. I thought they mean 10,000 died. Ig in the strictest sense of the word they lost then
That’s usually how it’s discussed.
From a certain perspective, it doesn’t matter whether a given soldier dies or is injured. Either way, it means a combatant was removed from the conflict.
As such, deaths and injuries are grouped together when discussing the “losses” of war.
