British intelligence names reasons for increase in russian losses in war

British intelligence believes that the increase in the number of russian casualties in Ukraine is related to the operation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kursk Oblast, as well as the constant pressure of the russians on the Pokrovsk Axis, where russia relies on mass.

This is stated in the intelligence review of the Ministry of Defense of Great Britain.

Thus, according to the report of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the average daily loss of russians (killed and wounded) in Ukraine increased in August 2024 to 1,187 people per day. Russia has probably suffered more than 610,000 casualties since the start of the full-scale war.

"The increase in the number of victims in August 2024 is almost certainly related to Ukraine's Kursk operation and the constant pressure on the Pokrovsk Axis. Russia continues to rely on massiveness to mitigate the shortage of personnel and equipment," the department notes.

The review noted that russian pressure across the front line will continue over the next month, but the limited capabilities of the russian military will likely continue to reduce its ability to use any tactical successes to achieve broader operational advantages.

In addition, the intelligence added, russian troop casualties are likely to continue to average more than 1,000 per day through September 2024 as russia continues operations on a wide front from Kursk in the north to Robotyne in the south.

As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, over the past day, russia has lost 1,200 soldiers in the war against Ukraine. In addition, the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed 21 anti-aircraft missiles and 31 artillery systems.

In August, the aggressor country of russia lost about 36,810 military personnel in Ukraine. Also, the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed 6,383 units of weapons and military equipment.

Meanwhile, President Zelenskyy announced that as a result of the Ukrainian operation in the Kursk Oblast of the aggressor state of russia, the Armed Forces of Ukraine captured more than 600 russians.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine also told what the military commandant's office in the Kursk Oblast does.
