On the front of the war, the latest updates show that Russian soldiers at the front are dying in higher numbers than ever since the beginning of the conflict . And this figure corresponds to a clear intensification of operations. The data was provided by the Ukrainian General Staff and the news is the focus of the daily update that the British Ministry of Defense disseminates together with scenarios and analysis of developments on the ground.
On the eve of the anniversary of the invasion on February 24, fighting continues unabated in the east but a new and reinvigorated Russian offensive is also expected: in some ways it is considered to have already begun, as also underlined by the head of the Security Council Ukrainian international Oleksiy Danilov, but still has uncertainties about the trajectory he will take.
"Over the past two weeks Russia has probably suffered the highest number of casualties since the first week of its invasion of Ukraine," the British Defense Ministry wrote in its bulletin. The average over the past seven days has been 824 victims a day, more than four times the rate reported in June-July 2022, they specified from London.
Even Ukraine, notes the British ministry, continues to suffer from "a high rate of attrition".
