 The Russian Defense Ministry announced on Tuesday that its forces inflicted significant losses on Ukrainian troops across several sectors of the front line over the past 24 hours.

The Russian Defense Ministry also reported the downing of several Ukrainian aerial threats within the last 24 hours:

The Broader Context

The latest figures highlight the ongoing intensity of the conflict across multiple regions of Ukraine. While Moscow continues to emphasize battlefield gains and high Ukrainian losses, independent verification of casualty numbers remains difficult amid the fog of war.

The simultaneous ground operations and air defense activities point to the multi-front nature of the conflict, with both sides relying heavily on drones, artillery, and advanced missile systems.
