Occupants suffer record personnel losses in October – General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has reported a record number of enemy personnel losses in October, marking the highest monthly figure since Russia's invasion began. As of October 29, the enemy has suffered 49,040 combat personnel losses, surpassing the previous high of 48,670 personnel in December 2024. The daily average loss currently stands at about 1,750 troops.

The report highlights the Russian army's losses have steadily increased in recent months, with 26,090 troops lost in February 2026 and 46,230 in September. However, October's losses, as of the 29th, stand at 49,040, indicating the ongoing and escalating impact of Ukraine's defense forces on the occupiers. The General Staff emphasized that the rate of enemy losses exceeds their ability to replenish, making each month of the war progressively more costly for Russia.

Ukraine's Defense Forces remain committed to inflicting losses on the occupiers until Russia's armed aggression against Ukraine is completely halted, according to the latest report.
