 Putin is senselessly sending more Russians to die. Putin is stepping up his invasion, senselessly sending more Russians to die than at any time since the war began. British Defence Minister Grant Shaps said on social media platform X commenting on the latest Russian casualty figures out of Kiev. Reposting his ministries received tally of Moscow's losses in the full-scale invasion. Shaps wrote that Ukrainian bravery and Western support is holding back their advance but we cannot be complacent. Ukraine needs our unwavering support to fight and win. Quoting numbers calculated by the Armed Forces of Ukraine's General Staff, the Defence Ministry noted that Russia is losing 931 soldiers a day in the month of November, the highest daily figures since March 2023 when invading forces were estimated to be losing 776 per day. The ministry said that while it cannot verify the methodology of Kiev's calculations taken as a total, including both the killed and the wounded, the figures are plausible. The British Defence Ministry also noted that Avdivka in particular has seen the highest attrition rates of Russian troops due to the month's long attack on the Ukrainian stronghold. The last six weeks have likely seen some of the highest Russian casualty rates of the war so far. The heavy losses have largely been caused by Russia's offensive against the Donbass town of Avdivka, the ministry said.
