 Russia's worst month. November true pluses comparable to World War One. Russian soldiers are probably getting killed or wounded in combat in Ukraine at a pace unmatched for the entire war and casualty counts during the month of November 2023 appear to be nearing the World War One rates according to Kiev post-media outlet. Russian soldiers and heavy weapons loss statistics published on November the 29th by Ragnar Gudmundsson, a long-time Russo- Ukraine war military data researcher placed by weak Kremlin troop casualties at an average of 994 men killed a day during the previous week and said more than 25,000 Russian service personnel died or were severely wounded in combat in Ukraine during the month of November. That pace of casualties primarily in attacks towards the Donbas region city of Abdiivka exceeds by some 10% peak losses suffered by the Russian army during ultimately successful assaults on the Donbas cities of Severodnetsk in March and April 2022 and in failed attacks on the city of Volodar in February 2023 the Icelandic researchers analysis of Ukrainian claims of Russian troop losses found. It confirmed the Abdiivka-driven Russian body bag counts are possibly already approaching historically significant levels. Most archival records place Russian military deaths conservatively during the 1,554 days of World War One from July the 28th 1914 to November the 11th 1918 at 1.7 million men killed and 3.5 to 5 million wounded or around 1,100 soldiers killed and 2,200 wounded averaged by day. Modern and possibly biased Ukrainian estimates of Russian military losses lump severely wounded with soldiers killed making a direct comparison against Imperial Russian casualty figures an imperfect match.
