Conflicts

Russia endured significant human and material losses in November, marking one of the deadliest months for Vladimir Putin's forces.

The Russian army has made steady advances in the Donbas region, capturing key cities such as Pokrovsk and Kurakhove. While Russian forces rely on their numerical and military superiority to seize Ukrainian strongholds, their repeated assaults have come at a high cost.

According to Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense, Moscow lost an estimated 45,729 soldiers in November alone.

The losses are not limited to personnel. Material losses for the month are estimated at nearly 3 billion dollars—exceeding the combined total for the previous two months.

Despite these setbacks, Moscow continues to benefit from North Korea’s military support, which has already provided 12,000 troops to fight alongside Russian forces. Additionally, according to war bloggers, Vladimir Putin has reportedly recruited fighters from Laos and Myanmar to bolster his ranks.
