According to the report as the Russians shove more and more regiments and brigades into the narrow salient northeast of the fortress city of Pokrovsk, their casualties are increasing.Different sources disagree over exactly how much Russian casualties are increasing. They don't disagree that more Russians are dying, getting maimed, or going missing, many of them in and around the chaotic, 40-square-kilometer salient. A leaked Russian document provides a baseline for Russian losses between 1 January and 1 September this year. According to the document, Russian forces suffered 281,550 casualties in those 245 days: 86,744 killed in action, 33,996 missing in action, 158,529 wounded in action, 2,311 captured. That's 35,000 casualties a month through the early weeks of Russia's renewed push toward Pokrovsk.
The report also stated that of those 35,000 casualties, several thousand were probably temporary as the more lightly wounded recuperated and returned to service.Given that Russia recruited nearly 32,000 fresh troops a month over the same eight months, there's a good chance the Kremlin enjoyed a small troop surplus throughout much of 2025.But Russian commanders' determination to capture Pokrovsk, one of the last urban strongpoints between the Russians and the free twin cities of Kramatorsk and Sloviansk, has erased that surplus, Euromaidan Press says. Now the Russians are almost certainly losing more troops than they're recruiting every month. Another leaked document, detailing Russian casualties for 4 September, lists 995 total casualties, around half of them from the Center Grouping of Forces fighting around Pokrovsk. Incredibly, this is a slightly higher count than the official Ukrainian count of Russian losses for the same day. The Ukrainian general staff, which could be forgiven for projecting rosier figures, tallied just 810 Russian casualties on 4 September.
So many of the wounded will end up dead, hoping this war will end .It is almost Christmas and the warring countries continue to deploy killer weapons. The reasons are shallow.
