Russian forces suffered an average of 983 casualties per day in Ukraine in February, the highest since the war began, the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) said in an intelligence update on Sunday.
The UK department said the increase in casualties, which included both killed and wounded soldiers, was likely due to "Russia's commitment to mass and attritional warfare."
In February, Russia finally captured the embattled Ukrainian town of Avdiivka, which sits just north of Donetsk in eastern Ukraine.
War analysts have noted that Russia's tactics to take Avdiivka often involved "human wave" assaults, attempting to overwhelm Ukrainian positions with large numbers of Russian soldiers on foot.
One Ukrainian commander said in January that they could kill 40 to 70 Russian soldiers per day, but they would just send another wave the next day.
"Assault after assault, non-stop," he said.
The UK department said that Russia's tactics were "costly in terms of human life," but it noted that they had increased pressure on Ukrainian positions on the front lines.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has previously suggested that Russian commanders do not value the lives of their men and that they "conscript corpses."
Russia has likely had 355,000 personnel killed and wounded during the war, the MoD noted.

Everybody knows that the Ruskies are being annihilated.
That's why they took over 20% of Ukie territory along with Ukie towns like Mariupol, Bakhmut & Avdiivka. If only Putin can be cured of brain cancer and stomach cancer, they will surely recover.
Ha, ha, ha, ha.
Who is “you people”?
Most here think both Putin and Ukraine are disgusting.
Name names.
>I have see horrific videos of entire ruZZian squads being wiped out.<
If that were true, mommy and/or speedy would have posted them on FR.

We’d be wise to ignore London’s propaganda. From a military standpoint, sabotage and faggotry are all that once-Great Britain can still muster. Today’s British Army could fit all 76,000 of its active-duty soldiers in either of those three college football stadiums — and still leave a quarter of its seats empty. The United Kingdom is a military chihuahua that still fancies itself as a lion.

As long as Ukraine has more it doesn’t matter.
Where did you read it?
4 ot of 5 are wounded. 3 out of 4 wounded recover and are returned to duty. young heal fast.
Flesh wounds are considered “casualties”.
“Of course, that’s why Russia is still a menace, and why NATO is still needed
And why we need to keep supporting Ukraine”

YOU CANADIANS can do whatever you want relative to Ukraine. Just don’t try to involve Americans and their dollars in your shenanigans.
That’s assuming you are being told the truth.
Pardon me while I find skepticism in reports of what would
Be 350k casualties a year.
Anyone believing anything being made publicly available by either side of this conflict regarding casualties etc is not just a fool, but a damned fool.
UKraine cannot and never could win this war… Z is a fool
And the western powers that whispered sweet nothings on his ear to encourage this conflict are evil people.
If there was ever a more preventable conflict in my lifetime I am hard pressed to think of one.
No I don’t condone Putin’s actions, but anyone who ever said UKraine could win a hot war with Russia is either a liar, a damned fool, or both.
Petition for peaceful resolution should have been immediate, UKraine cannot win, there is no way. Drawing it out with more pointless deaths serves no purpose other than to funnel money to the military industrial complex.
Which was likely a large reason this situation occurred in the first place
This is a pro-Ukraine site recording Russian vehicle losses.
Compared, to 2023, Russia shows fewer vehicle losses in Feb 2024, than Feb 2023.
If there really was “catastrophic” losses in Feb 2024, it should show up as vehicle losses as well as UK Intel Swamp “estimated” casualties.

Eight+ million people have already left Ukraine.
The way this war is going there are more mass population movements coming.
IF Russia really is willing to take 1000 casualties a day as this report claims, they are not going to shy away from a WW2 scale “Displaced Persons” strategy to make sure that the remaining population isn’t an insurgency risk.
The longer the Ukrainians drag this out, the longer they listen to NeoCon Demons who are willing to destroy them to harm Russia, the less is going to be left for Ukraine after this is all over.
Ukraine needs to ask for a cease fire. Promise to demilitarize and not join NATO. And maybe hope to join the EU.
If they stick with this they are going to end up with a “Ukraine” that consists of Lyiv and not much else.

Dugin does not speak for Putin on this.
It’s like believing Trump follows whatever Steve Bannon says.
“Kaliningrad Oblast could be given back to Germany. “
That’s an absolute non-starter for any Russian President. And it shows that Dugin is an other-worldly academic, not an influential foreign policy adviser.
LOL !
