Russia suffers record personnel losses in Ukraine over last two months - UK intelligence

This was reported by the UK Ministry of Defense.

Russia's average daily losses (killed and wounded) in May and June reached 1,262 and 1,163 respectively. In total, Russia has likely lost more than 70,000 troops over the past two months.

Intelligence indicates that the increase in losses was due to intense fighting in the Kharkiv region. During this period, Russian troops were attempting to sustain their previous pace of offensive operations across the rest of the front.

"Russia's casualty rate will likely continue to average above 1,000 a day over the next two months as Russia continues to try to overmatch Ukrainian positions with mass," the intelligence service said.

• Over the past day, the Ukrainian military eliminated at least 1,030 Russian soldiers. Russia also lost 48 artillery systems and 9 tanks.
