Trump's minister revealed how many Russians disappear every month. "Extraordinary losses," he marveled.

The Economist reports that Russian military losses in the Ukraine invasion may reach up to 2.1 million, with 374,000 to 770,000 soldiers killed. In October alone, Russia reportedly lost around 54,000 troops. Ukrainian forces have also suffered significant casualties, with approximately 222,000 soldiers killed or missing. Despite high losses, Russia has intensified its bombardments on Ukrainian cities, increasing long-range attacks from 130 in June to 453 in September. Ukraine has countered with strikes deep into Russian territory, targeting military infrastructure. A recent cyberattack on Ukraine's Air Alert! app falsely warned of nuclear threats, while similar incidents occurred in Russia.
