Russia Suffers Record 54K Casualties in October, Ukraine Says — 2.1M Since War Began
Russia suffered more than 54,000 casualties in October, the highest of any month since the war began, according to Ukraine — with Moscow losing even more ground under Kyiv’s counterattacks.
October saw 54,400 Kremlin troops killed, wounded or gone missing in action, about 8,170 more than the prior month, according to Ukraine’s General Staff.
“This is a record for any month of the full-scale war,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky touted on Telegram. “There is also a record for daily losses: the Russian army lost 2,250 people on October 21.”
In all, Moscow is estimated to have suffered between 1.4 million to 2.1 million casualties since it launched its full-scale invasion in 2022, The Economist reported.
The outlet’s estimates show that between 374,000 and 770,000 Russian soldiers have been killed in action so far, a steep increase from May, when it estimated that at most 518,000 troops were dead.
