The number of dead approximately corresponds to the number of new mobilized: ISW estimated the losses of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation

According to analysts, if the data published by Kyiv is accurate, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation lose more than a month than they mobilize - 20,000 people. Now the Russians are trying to keep the equipment that leads to even greater loss of personnel. The pace of loss of Russian troops throughout the front in Ukraine is close to the rate of mobilization. About it writes "Institute of War Study" in the summary of December 7.

The official representative of the Command of the Land Forces of Ukraine Lieutenant Colonel Volodymyr Fito said that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation had lost almost 11 thousand personnel (dead or injured) in Kupyansk, Lymansky and Bakhmut directions for November this year. In the mentioned areas, the intensity of fighting is now lower than near Avdiivka. Apparently, more losses.

According to officials of Ukraine, Russian troops lost 5,000 people killed and wounded in the area of ​​Avdiivka and Marinka from October 10 to October 26 for two waves of attacks to capture Avdiivka. Now the Russians are trying to keep the equipment that leads to even greater loss of personnel. According to Ukraine, from October 17 to November 17 on the Left Bank of the Dnieper in the Kherson region, the Russians lost 1,200 servicemen, wounded 2200.

In the west of Zaporizhzhya region, apparently, the loss of comparable. However, in battles it is impossible to check the loss data. But if the data provided by Ukraine is accurate, it means that Russian operations in Ukraine greatly deplete the occupation group, and that high losses are not only the most intense offensive offenses near Avdiivka.

According to Russian and Ukrainian officials, 20-40 thousand people are replenished every month as a result of the efforts of hidden mobilization, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. But these indicators may be lower than the monthly losses of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Ukraine.

According to representatives of Ukraine, the Russian group on the line of Kharkiv - Luhansk regions remained the same since the summer of 2023, which indicates that the redeployment of the reserve in the area only replenished the losses, but did not increase the composition of the group. According to the figures published by Kiev, we can conclude that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are losing a month more than mobilized - 20,000 people.

The high losses of the Russian Federation, summarize analysts, will probably not allow the Russian forces to fully fill and restore the units operating in Ukraine, and form new operational and strategic reserves if efforts to form forces continue at the current rate against the background of military operations. At the same time, Russia, apparently, will be able to compensate for the loss of new mobilized as long as Russian President Vladimir Putin copes with the consequences of within Russia.
