Russian forces have suffered significant new losses over the past day during the war in Ukraine
According to the Ukrainian General Staff, as of May 10, the occupation forces have lost more than 1,300 troops in combat, and have also substantially renewed their strained supplies of equipment and weapons. These figures are set against the backdrop of an unprecedented increase in Russia's overall combat losses since the beginning of its large-scale aggression on February 24, 2022. According to official information, over the last 24 hours, Russian troops have lost at least 1,310 servicemen. For comparison, this is within a concerning context — since the start of the war, Russia has approximately estimated its losses at around 965,890 military personnel, and this number is updated daily to account for new combat casualties. Given the current developments, including new fighting and offensive operations, this figure may be higher. In addition to human losses, the occupiers have suffered significant equipment losses over the past day: 2 tanks and 33 artillery systems have been destroyed, according to the Ukrainian General Staff, highlighting a reduction in Russian technical reserves in the combat zone. Overall, since the beginning of the war, Russian combat equipment losses have exceeded 10,792 tanks, nearly 22,446 armored combat vehicles, over 27,670 artillery systems, and more than 1,381 rocket artillery systems (MLRS). Over the last day, Ukrainian forces have also recorded additional losses of Russian equipment, including one air defense system and 55 operational-tactical level drones, indicating an active effort to counter Russian aviation and missile strikes. On the front line, in the past day, Russia lost: 55 drones, signaling intensified air defense and drone attack countermeasures. Also, several Russian landing ships and submarines have disappeared, including one submarine, while the main combat and transport equipment maintains its positions, though their total number is decreasing. According to Ukrainian military reports, the total combat losses of the aggressor country remain at a level that significantly affects the mobility and combat capability of Russian forces. This substantial reduction in manpower and technical reserves strengthens Ukraine's position on the battlefield, demonstrating high efficiency in Ukrainian defense and resistance against the Russian military machine. Experts note that Russia's daily loss figures largely determine the course of the war and influence the tactics of the occupiers. Ukraine, on the other hand, aims to leverage this factor to stabilize the front, regain captured territories, and destroy Russian resources, which are becoming increasingly difficult to restore each day. These data are still being officially clarified, as the situation at the front remains highly dynamic. However, one thing is clear: the Ukrainian army continues to counter the aggressor in a measured and effective manner, eroding its advantages in manpower and armament every day. Russian troop losses, although enormous, have not yet halted, and their further development depends on numerous factors, including international support for Ukraine and the counteroffensive actions of our defenders.
