The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has provided information that strikes a significant blow to Russia and Vladimir Putin. The Ukrainians, bravely fighting for their country, have eliminated over 1,300 Russian soldiers. And that's not all.

The war in Ukraine continues to take an enormous toll on the Russian side. According to the latest reports, the number of slain soldiers is increasing daily.

On Wednesday, we reported that the Russians lost 1,060 soldiers, 30 artillery systems, 20 armored fighting vehicles, and 9 tanks.

During the past 24 hours alone, Russian forces suffered significant losses of 1,370 soldiers. This information was conveyed by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on their Facebook page.

Russia also lost 9 tanks and 42 armored fighting vehicles, indicating the intensity of the ongoing military actions.

Russia has a problem. Not just on the front

Russia is trying to fill the gaps by signing contracts with thousands of new recruits. However, this is not an easy task. The number of deserters in the Russian army who refuse to serve is increasing.

Human rights defenders report that torture is being used against those who try to avoid fighting. Russia is now battling not only the enemy on the front line but also its internal problems.

Such significant losses and supply problems are negatively affecting the morale of Russian soldiers.

The "Without Camouflage" portal writes that signs of a turning point are visible, and some information even suggests a moderately optimistic picture for Ukraine. Russian soldiers are losing their footing, which could lead to even more desertions.
