On August 14, Russia lost another 1 220 soldiers killed and wounded at the front.
This was reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
During the day, the Defense Forces of Ukraine destroyed another 8 tanks, 24 armored combat vehicles, 47 artillery systems, 3 rocket salvo fire systems, 1 anti-aircraft defense system, 50 BpLA operational-tactical level, 2 cruise missiles, 65 units of automotive equipment, as well as an airplane.
It is about a Russian fighter-bomber Su-34, which was shot down by the Defense Forces of Ukraine in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation.
Ukraine and Russia give almost no information about their losses in the war. Moscow officially last named the number of people killed in September 2022 — then they declared 5 937 dead. Kyiv did not do this for a long time, saying that the data would be disclosed after the war.
On February 25, 2024, for the first time since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky declared the number of dead Ukrainian soldiers — 31 thousand. He did not name the number of wounded and missing.
