Russian losses over past six weeks may be highest in war - British intel

The Russian army's losses over the past six weeks may have been the largest in the entire war, UK Ministry of Defence reported. 

The significant losses were largely caused by Russia's offensive on Avdiyivka in Donbas.

Throughout November 2023, Russian casualties, according to the Ukrainian General Staff, averaged 931 people per day.

Previously, the deadliest reported month for Russia was March 2023 with an average of 776 losses per day, at the height of the Russian assault on Bakhmut. 

"Although Defence Intelligence cannot verify the methodology, taken as a total including both killed and wounded, the figures are plausible," the British stressed.
