Putin’s men crushed as over 1,000 soldiers killed and 30 tanks destroyed in a single day
Russia has lost more than 1,000 soldiers and 30 tanks in a single day of fighting in Ukraine, according to new figures.
Putin’s forces are “totally depleted” by the ongoing war in Ukraine, which has resulted in the loss of 322,900 Russian fighters since Moscow invaded Ukraine in February 2022.
Russia has also lost 5,496 tanks and 7,833 artillery systems, according to figures released by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The Russian forces are allegedly using older style artillery after using up its modern arsenal.

Ivan Stupak, a former Ukrainian Security Service officer, said: “It’s really a big problem for the Russians. It’s not just a cliché, it’s not Ukrainian propaganda.
“For the last five months or so, Russia has very actively been using old-style artillery.
“Not late-Soviet era, but mid-50s and mid-60s—D30 and the D20-type of towed artillery, with a maximum range of around 9 to 11 miles.”
Stupak said that Russia’s reliance on older machinery shows that Putin has run out of artillery.

“Russian artillery stockpiles are totally depleted,” he said to Newsweek.
“They are using this artillery because they have no other options.”
Last week, a joint investigation by the BBC and independent Russian news outlet Mediazona identified the names of 37,052 Russian military personnel who have died since the war began.
It said the actual number of losses was higher than the figures provided.

Kyiv has not disclosed their death toll, stating that revealing the number could harm its war effort.
However, last week, a Ukrainian civic group said it has confirmed the deaths of nearly 25,000 Ukrainian soldiers since Russia’s February 2022 invasion.
The real figure was likely higher, they added, noting that many of the 15,000 troops listed as missing were likely dead.
In April, a leaked US Defence Intelligence Agency assessment estimated that 15,500 to 17,500 Ukrainians had lost their lives.
The assessment also calculated that Kyiv had suffered 124,500 to 131,000 casualties.
