According to the Russian Defense Ministry, the Ukrainian forces suffered losses of 3,600 troops in the last week mainly in the Donetsk, Southern Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, and Kupiansk directions in the previous week.

Last week, Ukrainian media reported that almost nine out of every ten Ukrainian draftees who enlisted in the army a year ago have either been killed or injured in combat.

Russian forces repelled 28 assaults in the Donetsk direction, near the cities of Avdiivka and Marinka, as well as the settlement of Klishchiivka.

"For the past week, Ukraine's losses to air, missile and artillery strikes amounted to over 1,455 military dead or injured, 16 tanks and over armed vehicles, 25 cars, 15 artillery weapons and three multiple-launch rocket systems. Besides, three shell storage facilities have been destroyed," the ministry detailed.

Russian soldiers repelled five raids in the direction of Southern Donetsk, destroying almost 950 men, 14 armed vehicles, 32 motor vehicles, and five artillery weapons.

The ministry detailed how Ukrainian troops lost 445 military troops and 35 cars while attempting to cross the Dnipro River in the area of Kherson in an attempt to gain bridgeheads on the islands and left bank of the river. Russian troops also stopped eight diversion-reconnaissance groups.

Another 515 Ukrainian servicemen were killed in the Zaporizhzhia direction when the Russian military intercepted 8 raids in the villages of Robotyne and Verbove, as well as 24 combat vehicles, 19 automobiles, and 35 artillery pieces, according to the Russian MoD.

The ministry announced Ukrainian casualties in the Kupiansk direction amounted to 235 troops, six armored vehicles, 18 vehicles, 24 artillery pieces, and a US-made M1097 Avenger anti-aircraft missile system.

Recently, Russian President Vladimir Putin estimated Ukraine's military casualties to exceed 71,000 personnel. Additionally, he proposed that Kiev might consider engaging in negotiations with Moscow once its resources for confronting Russian defenses become critically depleted. Putin's assessment emphasized that Ukraine would primarily seek talks to rehabilitate its weakened military capabilities.
