🪦 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.
Russian Losses
- Ukrainian general staff reported Russian losses for the previous day, including 410 personnel, 11 tanks, 11 APCs, 12 artillery systems, 1 MLRS, and 5 anti-aircraft warfare systems.
- Footage shows two Buk anti-aircraft systems being destroyed by Ukraine.
- Despite heavy losses, Russia still has a lot of artillery, which Ukraine is working to diminish.
Belgorod and Shebekino Incursion
- Pro-Ukrainian Russian volunteer units are still fighting in Belgorod and Shebekino, Russia, five days after crossing the border.
- The governor of Belgorod failed to meet for a prisoner handover. The Russian rebels have captured at least 10 Russian POWs.
- The incursion has caused internal conflict, with the Wagner PMC and Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov offering to intervene.
- The area has no electricity and water due to the ongoing conflict.
Ukrainian Counteroffensive
- Ukraine has made gains in the Velyka Novosilka area of the Donetsk region but has lost some equipment to Russian artillery.
- Russian sources claim a major Ukrainian offensive has begun, with battles and advances in the Zaporizhzhia and Donetsk regions. However, their claims of Ukrainian losses appear exaggerated.
- Analysts believe the current activity is still shaping operations and not the main counteroffensive push.
- Ukraine now has over 120 brigades, more than twice the number the US Army had at the end of the Cold War.
Geopolitical Developments
- Sweden has fulfilled Turkey's demands and has the right to join NATO, according to Jens Stoltenberg.
- Half a million Poles protested against the nationalist populist government in Warsaw, one of the largest demonstrations since the fall of communism in 1989.
- Russian rhetoric has become overtly genocidal, making it harder for them to find a way out of the conflict.
- A Russian State Duma deputy admitted that Russia has failed to achieve any of its goals in Ukraine.
