"When we talk about numbers like this, these are human lives. These are real people."
Russian losses
- 400 liquidated Russian personnel, one of the lowest figures in weeks
- Significant losses of artillery systems (21) and MLRS (5) over last 24 hours
- Russia likely losing artillery capability as they can't have endless supplies
- Video shows 2 Russian self-propelled howitzers destroyed by Ukrainian army using Excalibur precision munitions
🪦 DISCLAIMER FOR GENERAL STAFF LOSSES DATA
- These are real people with real lives and real families who love them. Don’t let the numbers sap your humanity.
- These numbers probably aren’t accurate but they’re the best we have and we don’t need them to be accurate to be indicative of patterns of activity.
- All losses are estimates. Losses cannot be counted with accuracy because of the conditions on the ground.
- Both sides would see it to be of their advantage to minimize their own losses maximize the other side’s losses.
- Neither side releases their losses but we have enough transparency from the Ukrainian side to have confidence in they are indicative.
- Personnel losses are hard to count. If a soldier gets injured, heals up, and returns to the front line only to get injured again, is that one loss or two? Also, how to deal with losses from PMC’s or soldiers fighting with RF from occupied territories?
- Equipment losses are hard to count. If an AA complex involves several parts and one part gets disabled, is that a loss, or a fraction of a loss? If a tank gets disabled, repaired, back into the fight, then disabled again, is that one lost tank or two?
- All recorded losses are vulnerable to multiple reporting. We have already seen numerous cases of multiple drones in the air reporting the same loss from different angles as multiple engagements.
- Losses are not always reported on the same day they occurred. It is frequent that drone losses are reported at least 24 hours after other terrestrial equipment losses. Certain losses may not be reported for days or weeks for military intelligence reasons.
Aircraft losses
- Russian source confirmed loss of Ka-52 attack helicopter in Belgorod region
- Hinted at loss of Su-35S a few days ago over Black Sea, pilot still not found
- Denied loss of Mi-8 or Mi-24 helicopter
Russian soldiers surrendering
- 28 Russian soldiers including officers surrendered to Ukrainians after defeat in Adyvka
- Part of 110th Brigade assault platoon, accusing Russian command of sending them to sure death
- Complained of negligence by commanders, outdated weapons, lack of ammo and support
- Another incident of 22 soldiers captured by 7 Ukrainian soldiers also in Adyvka
Belgorod attacks
- Much information space dedicated to attacks on Belgorod region by Russian volunteer units
- Has swamped news on fall of Bakhmut to Russians, likely intentional information warfare
- Conflicting reports on scale of incursion, no visual confirmation of complete control
- Russians pulled reserves from front lines to respond, showing lack of good border defense
- Means Russians will need to fix resources along long sparsely manned border
- Unsure if useful for Ukraine internationally, concerns it could unite Russians
- Evidence some destroyed vehicles staged by Russia for propaganda
Zaluzhny health speculation

- Zaluzhny discussed military aid with NATO commander by phone
- But has not been seen, no timestamped video to disprove rumors, causing some concern
Military aid to Ukraine
