Ukrainian forces report continued success in degrading Russian logistical and artillery capabilities. The destruction of 772 drones highlights the ongoing intensity of aerial reconnaissance and attack attempts, while the elimination of 88 vehicles underscores persistent logistical challenges for Russian troops on the ground.

The daily personnel loss of 930 troops reflects high attrition rates amid ongoing combat engagements along the front line.

Since the start of the full-scale invasion on February 24, 2022, Russia’s total combat losses—according to Ukrainian military officials—have now surpassed 1.23 million personnel, alongside tens of thousands of units of heavy weaponry, vehicles, and drones.

Earlier, Ukraine’s Center for Countering Disinformation reported that Russia was using fake job ads for a nonexistent “Luhansk nuclear power plant” to covertly recruit contract soldiers for the war in Ukraine. The listings, posted on Avito, offered security jobs with military pay and benefits, while recruiters admitted applicants would “serve where the motherland says.”
