Admiral Sir Tony Radakin said that October was the worst month for losses of Russian soldiers since the war began in February 2022.
Russia n forces suffered an average of around 1,500 dead and injured per day in Ukraine during October, according to the UK's chief of defence staff.
He said that while Russia was making gains and putting pressure on Ukraine, the losses were 'for tiny increments of land'. Admiral Sir Tony Radakin told the BBC that the Russian people were paying an 'extraordinary price' for Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion, saying that October was the worst month for losses since the conflict began in February 2022
'That's the message President Putin has to absorb and the reassurance for President Zelensky,' he said. This comes just two weeks after NATO's top brass said Putin has lost more than 600,000 troops in Ukraine, forcing him to rely evermore on foreign support for his invasion.
