Ukraine: Over 100,000 Russian soldiers dead since invasion began
The Russian losses in the invasion of Ukraine have exceeded 100,000 soldiers dead with about 660 dying just over the past 24 hours, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said on Thursday morning.
In total, Russia has lost 100,400 soldiers, 3,003 tanks, 5,981 armed vehicles, 1,978 artillery systems, 283 warplanes, and 267 helicopters, the tally reads.
U.S. General Mark Milley, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, estimated the Russian losses in mid-November to amount to over 100,000 dead and wounded.
In early November, U.S. Deputy Secretary of Defence Colin Kahl said that Putin has failed because the invasion of Ukraine turned out to be a strategic mistake on the part of the Kremlin. He went on to add that Russia lost around half of all of its tanks and the majority of its precision strike missiles in the ongoing war. Russia dubs the conflict “a special military operation”.
