The expense of the war has also reportedly been found to have taken a massive toll on Russia, with the country’s economy in danger of «burnout.»
Russian troops suffered the highest number of casualties in a single day since Moscow invaded Ukraine, breaking a grim record set only the day before.
Russia lost 1,950 of its troops on November 11, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, adding to the 1,770 casualties reported by Kyiv on Sunday.
The estimations suggest that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s military forces have now lost a total of 712,610 men during the conflict, which started on February 24, 2022.
Before the last two days of major losses, the previously held record was in mid-May, when it was reported that Moscow sustained 1,740 casualties in a single day.
