Russia suffers record troop losses in one day: Ukraine

Russia has suffered its highest number of troop losses in one day, according to Ukraine's military.

Ukraine's General Staff said on Monday that over the previous 24 hours, Russian losses totaled 2,980 personnel, a figure which includes both dead and wounded.

Both sides are tight-lipped about their losses during the war, and Moscow has not updated its official figures since September 2022 when it admitted at least 6,000 losses.

However, Ukraine's figures come on the heels of Russian government data that was reportedly hacked from statistics department Rosstat indicating that as many as 450,000 Russian troops have been killed since the war started on February 24, 2022.
