    It’s been exactly 1 week since last time the number was above 2000 lost personnel.
    Seems to me the numbers are climbing, and October could become the most deadly month for Russia yet if this continues.

      Judging by the fact that russia attempted a mechanized assault in the Hulyaipole region recently I think Putin is desperate for progress and to show russian strength so I don’t think these numbers are going to slow down any time soon.

        I think you are right, and the Russians aren’t even gaining much territory anymore. The video you posted yesterday, “The Russian Army Is Buckling Under Massive Losses” Clearly showed how Russia used to gain territory when they had higher losses, and that is not the case anymore. The losses now are the highest since 2024 when Russia took Avdiivka, but they have nothing to show for it.
