Ukraine's military reported that Russia sustained more than 10,000 casualties in a week, with a total of 690,720 casualties since February 2022.
Newsweek could not independently verify the casualty figures provided by Ukraine, and the Russian Defense Ministry has not commented.
The Wall Street Journal reported in mid-September that the combined casualty count for Ukrainian and Russian forces had reached approximately 1 million.
The British Defense Ministry reported that Russia sustained the highest number of casualties in a single month in September, averaging 1,271 fighters killed and injured each day.
Western, South Korean, and Ukrainian intelligence suggest that Russia is training thousands of North Korean troops on Russian soil, with potential deployment to the battlefield.
