General Staff: The Defense Forces of Ukraine eliminated 1 330 invaders and destroyed 59 of their artillery systems over the past day

On August 15, Russia lost another 1 330 soldiers killed and wounded at the front.

This was reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The Defense Forces of Ukraine destroyed another 12 tanks, 35 armored combat vehicles, 59 artillery systems, 5 rocket salvo systems, 61 UAVs of operational-tactical level, 1 cruise missile, 73 vehicles and 16 units of special equipment during the day.

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 — 31 000. He did not name the number of wounded and missing.
