In February, the Russian army suffered the largest losses since the beginning of the war against Ukraine - British intelligence

Average daily losses of the Russian army in February 2024 were the highest since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

In February, the Russian Federation had the highest average daily military losses since the beginning of the war

According to the agency, in February, the Russian occupying forces lost an average of 983 people per day.

According to British intelligence, the Russian Federation has probably lost more than 355,000 servicemen killed and wounded during the war in Ukraine.

The review indicates that the increase in the average daily casualty rate almost certainly reflects Russia's commitment to a massive war of attrition.

Although this is costly in terms of human lives, this effect increases the pressure on Ukraine's positions along the entire front line, - adds British intelligence.
