Half a million Russians killed in Ukraine war, British intelligence says
The British estimate also says Russia has lost 1.5 million casualties and more than 10,000 armored vehicles, as drone attacks continue.
- On Friday, Air Chief Marshal Sir Richard Knighton, Chief of the UK's Defence Staff, stated more than half a million Russian troops have been killed in Ukraine since Moscow's full-scale invasion began in February 2022.
- Knighton reported total Russian casualties reached 1.5 million, with military materiel losses described as "enormous": more than 10,000 armored vehicles, close to 3,000 air defense systems, and over 370 aircraft.
- Ukraine launched a major drone barrage overnight Thursday to Friday, with the Russian Defense Ministry reporting 777 interceptions; Kyiv simultaneously struck a refinery more than 3,000 kilometers away in Siberia.
- Russian drone strikes targeted Kyiv gas stations for a second straight day Friday, killing two people, as Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha stated Russia is "systematically attacking places where it knows people will be spending their time."
- Ukrainian strikes on refining capacity have forced Russia to import fuel from India and South Korea, with August imports surging to a record 172,000 metric tons as energy shortages intensify.
