In the past day, Russia lost as many as 1,060 soldiers, 30 artillery systems, 20 armoured combat vehicles, and 9 tanks. The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported the latest data.

The latest report from the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, published on Facebook, presented data on recent losses suffered by the Russian armed forces.

The numbers are catastrophic for Vladimir Putin's army. Russia lost 1,060 soldiers, 30 artillery systems, 20 armoured vehicles, and 9 tanks.

Since February 24, 2022, which marks the beginning of the war, the Russian armed forces have suffered enormous losses in both personnel and equipment.

Russia has lost approximately 578,000 soldiers and military staff, 8,390 tanks, 16,161 armoured combat vehicles, 16,086 artillery systems, 1,131 multiple rocket launch systems, and 2,697 special vehicles and other equipment.

Is Russia afraid of the European Union? Putin responds

Recently, Germany announced closer cooperation with the USA and the deployment of long-range missiles in the country. In response, Russian President Vladimir Putin threatened that if such a transfer occurs, Russia would lift the moratorium on deploying short- and medium-range missiles, including on Russian Navy ships.

Russia has very tense relations with almost all countries in the European Union. Propagandists there almost daily threaten the outbreak of war on television. The exception is Hungary, which has not criticized Russia for its stance on Ukraine since the beginning of the war.
