Russia suffers worst month for casualties since war began, says UK defence chief

Russia has suffered its worst month for casualties since the start of the war in Ukraine, with an average of about 1,500 dead and injured per day in October, totaling 700,000 losses since February 2022, according to UK chief of defence staff Admiral Sir Tony Radakin. He emphasized that Russia’s people are paying a heavy price for Putin’s invasion, with the country spending over 40% of its public expenditure on defense and security. Despite pressure to cede territory, Western allies remain resolute in their support for Ukraine, with President-elect Donald Trump’s administration focusing on achieving peace rather than territorial gains, as outlined by political adviser Bryan Lanza.
