Russian losses over the day

The total estimated losses of the Russians during a full-scale invasion are as follows:
The Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Oleksandr Syrskyi emphasized that the situation on the Eastern Front has significantly worsened in recent days. The Russians intensified offensive actions after the presidential "elections" in the Russian Federation. The invaders are actively attacking the Lymans, Bakhmuts and Pokrovsk directions — this is facilitated by warm, dry weather. Despite significant losses, the Russians use new units on armored vehicles, due to which they occasionally have tactical success.
