The Russian military suffered record casualties in Ukraine last month while also ceding some territory to Kyiv’s forces, according to Western intelligence data and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
More than 54,000 Russian troops were killed and heavily wounded in October, the most since the full-scale invasion began almost five years ago, the Ukrainian leader said Sunday.
Ukraine uses drone footage to document casualty numbers, which have now exceeded Russia’s monthly recruitment rate.
