On November 5, Russia lost 1 250 servicemen killed and wounded, as well as more than 50 drones and more than a dozen combat vehicles.

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

The Defense Forces of Ukraine destroyed six tanks, 11 armored combat vehicles, 20 artillery systems, 57 drones, 55 vehicles and one special equipment unit.

It is known that 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.
