Russian losses and the General Staff’s report

Russian losses in Ukraine

Feeling like I’m repeating myself, but today’s report on Russian losses shows that they continue to suffer heavy losses. In addition to many killed and wounded soldiers, we have unusually high losses of armored vehicles compared to how it has looked recently. Twice since the turn of the year, it has been as high or higher with 11 and 13 respectively. 424 Soft vehicles is the fifth highest reporting for the entire war.

  • 1310 KWIA
  • 1 Tank
  • 11 AFVs
  • 88 Artillery systems
  • 4 MLRS
  • 1 Air defense system
  • 2164 UAVs
  • 12 UGVs
  • 424 Vehicles & fuel tanks *)
  • 7 Special equipment

General Staff report

The number of KAB and drones remains high and, viewed over the entire war, the combat clashes are also at a continued high level

  • 237 combat clashes
  • 88 aviation strikes
  • 281 KAB/CAB
  • 10,008 kamikaze drones
  • 3304 shells (74 MLRS)

This is how the number of battles has developed over time:

    ** Rybar reports of #Ukraine success in west Zaporizhia: The trend towards deterioration of the situation in the area of Kamensk on the West-Zaporizhia direction not only persists, but also develops. Evidence of the enemy’s buildup of presence to the east of Stepnogorsk and the occupation of new positions to the southeast of this city have been appearing on the Internet for quite some time. Ukrainian formations tried to occupy several strongholds on the line of Kamensk – Stepovoe. Footage of strikes on these forest strips is not appearing for the first time. Thus, the enemy retains the opportunity to act south of the line Stepnogorsk – Pavlovka, where battles for small strongholds in the forest strips are still ongoing. There is no evidence of the presence of the Russian Armed Forces in Pavlovka and the surrounding areas for quite some time, and given the shift of the battles to the south, the enemy is accumulating there without much difficulty. Note that the enemy’s breakthrough to the line Kamensk – Stepovoe – Shcherbaki did not happen all at once and was the result of prolonged battles since this spring. As the enemy occupies new positions in the vicinity of Stepnogorsk, further attacks by Ukrainian formations on Plavni and Kamensk are very likely. At the moment, practically all territorial gains from the spring of 2025, when the offensive of the “Dnieper” group of troops began, have been lost in this direction. In the area of Orekhov, the situation remains the same for now. There are positional battles on the approaches to Novandreevka, Novodanilovka and Malaya Tokmachka. There are no changes in the zones of control here, but there are very contradictory reports about both the advances of the Russian Armed Forces and Ukrainian formations. Given the problems caused by strikes on logistics, the situation remains alarming. Of course, this does not mean that there will be an immediate major breakthrough. There is still enough time to react and mitigate risks, the question is only in assessing the real situation, which has sometimes been surprisingly strange in this direction. **

    Good morning MXT and others.
    Ukraine is probably quite close to its goal regarding the number of eliminated Russian bastards? One can’t help but wonder how long they can continue to take such heavy losses.
    Any news about the situation in Crimea?

      Good morning!

      Looking at recent times, you can see that the average is steadily over 1100 per day and since the turn of the month May/June it has increased further.

      There is still a bit left before they reach 50,000 per month, but they are well on their way to getting there!

          Now it works better!

          It’s a bit slow, but there are quite a few comments as well.
          It might be a bit faster if you limited the filtering so that it doesn’t activate until at least three characters have been entered. Right now it starts working as soon as the first letter is typed, and that often gives a lot of results, so when you try to enter the next letter, it sometimes freezes.

          Alternatively, introduce a search button, so it doesn’t have to filter in real time. That is of course nicer, but with so much content it becomes quite demanding.

          Guess it can get really slow on, for example, older mobile phones.

          1. T23

            I think it is mostly loading all the comments that takes time. Once you have a first search result, it goes quickly to get results on a new search term (at least for me). Is it slow for you every time, or just the first search term?

            AI was shocked by the amount of comments Johan has written 😄

    If they do not phase out, at least I will choose other options. Push to leave has not been updated regarding Arla.

    After the merger – Arla makes cheese in Russia
    Through the merger with the German dairy giant DMK Group, Arla has become the owner of an extensive operation in Russia.
    The dairy group currently has no concrete answers on how the situation will be handled.
    The controversial merger between Arla and the German dairy giant Deutsches Milchkontor, DMK Group, was recently approved by the EU competition authority.

    The purpose of the deal is to give Arla better economic resilience and to secure future food production in Sweden, was the message from Cecilia Kocken, CEO of Arla Sweden, when the dairy group declared the merger at the end of May this year. With the promise that a stronger cooperative secures both growth and higher milk prices for Swedish farmers, Arla, however, did not address a sensitive issue: that of DMK’s continued operations in Russia.

    Cheese factory in Russia

    Other dairy companies, including Arla, have withdrawn from Russia since the country’s large-scale invasion of Ukraine just over four years ago. But DMK has chosen to maintain its production aimed at the Russian market in the form of a cheese factory in full operation in the Voronezh region. The German dairy giant has previously stated that the operation in Russia will be evaluated as soon as the merger with Arla is approved.

    Arla, in turn, has promised to handle DMK’s activity in Russia once the merger has come into effect, which it did on June 1 this year. So far, however, the dairy group cannot answer how they intend to address the issue.

    Concrete decisions

    “Arla’s stance on operations in Russia is well known and remains unchanged,” emphasizes Cecilia Kocken in an email response to TT, but states that she cannot share more details.

    “Only now that the merger has been completed can we begin to make concrete decisions. At the same time, we have a responsibility to handle the situation for the local employees in a correct and respectful manner,” she says.

    Vera Hassenpflug, press contact at DMK Group, also does not want to comment on future plans for the activity in Russia:

    “Arla and DMK are now one company and will make decisions as such,” she writes in an email response to TT.

      It still looks okay. What puzzles me a bit is why KAB is not going down. I had the impression that the Swedish ASC890 planes had been delivered a few months ago and were supposed to be useful specifically against KAB flights.

      1. MXT

        It is probably not enough just to identify them, you also need robots with sufficiently long range. They drop the bombs far from the border.

        Gripen + Meteor can probably do the trick when they show up.

        The risk, of course, is that the Russians put even bigger wings on the bombs so they can drop them even further from the border, but then you might get a bit better advance notice at least.

        1. Pekka

          Sure, Gripen and Meteor are the complete solution that will provide the best effect. But even now, one should see some results. It’s not like the other flight systems are completely incapable.
          It would have been fun to read some updates about the Ascar but haven’t seen it anywhere.

      Question to MXT: is it possible to move the “close cross” on an opened image to the left side? On mobile, it is positioned right over the interesting part on the right, especially in the excellent 205s loco/non-loco graph.

    ”

    The letters on the McDonald’s sign at Lukianivska Square in Kyiv have melted after an attack on a nearby mall at the end of May. But inside the hamburger chain, business is in full swing until an air raid alarm sounds and staff and customers run down to a shelter, writes The Guardian.

    The block is the most bombed in Kyiv, and in recent months the situation has only worsened. According to Russia, the explanation lies in the destroyed property across the street, which was once a weapons factory. But the recent attacks have mainly damaged civilian infrastructure. 23-year-old Anastasija Prymak moved to the capital from Nikopol two years ago to escape the attacks. Now Kyiv also looks like Chernobyl, she says.

    Off-Topic, The War in Iran

    “Pakistan states that Iran and the USA have agreed on a peace treaty, writes AFP and Reuters. The country, which has acted as a mediator for the past two months, says the agreement is ‘final.’

    ‘We are aware of the disinformation campaign carried out by those who wanted to sabotage the peace agreement. If you disregard all the noise, we can confirm that a final, agreed version of the peace treaty has been reached,’ writes Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on X.

    According to Sharif, all efforts are now focused on finalizing the last details.

    ‘Peace has never been closer than it is now,’ he continues.”

    “The USA has during the night shot down several Iranian drones over the Strait of Hormuz, according to the military command Centcom. The drones attempted, according to the USA, to attack commercial shipping in the strait, news agencies report.

    ‘The international trade corridor remains open for passage,’ writes Centcom on X.

    The shootdown comes just hours after the USA and Iran stated that a peace agreement is closer than ever. It constitutes the latest military escalation between the countries.”

    “A peace agreement between Iran and the USA would mean the end of the blockade in the Strait of Hormuz, says Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, according to AFP. But also that the management of ship traffic through the narrow passage will henceforth be handled by Iran and Oman in cooperation.

    – Iran is determined that the administration of the Strait of Hormuz will not be as before, says Araghchi to Iranian state television.

    Talks are said to have begun with Oman on how the strait will be managed going forward.

    USA’s President Donald Trump said earlier on Friday that Iran will be forced to shut down its nuclear program, but according to Abbas Araghchi this will be a later issue.

    Switzerland has offered to host the parties for the formal peace signing, writes TT.”

      “The unpredictability that has characterized the USA under Donald Trump’s presidency has so far cost Sweden 160 billion kronor. This is what the Ministry of Finance has concluded by calculating how much growth has had to be downgraded due to the USA’s actions, reports DN.

      Finance Minister Elisabeth Svantesson (M) tells the newspaper that she is tired of the American president’s unpredictability.

      – It is sad that a leader of such a large country does not take more responsibility and actually thinks through that his policies affect people around the world, says Svantesson.”

        One could think that way. No Svantesson would dare to discuss outside the Swedish pond. Now, thanks to the USA’s destruction of Iran’s military capability, several hundred boatloads of weapons from Iran to Russia have been stopped, which would also cost, if not Swedish then Ukrainian lives, all while Europe sat on its hands.

    “Arla has merged with the German dairy company DMK Group and now owns an ‘extensive cheese production operation’ with hundreds of employees in Russia, reports TT.

    This is because DMK Group has remained with production in the country, while other dairy companies – including Arla – chose to leave the country after the large-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

    Arla has previously stated that the issue of operations in Russia would be handled after the merger of the companies took effect, which happened on June 1. In a comment to TT, Arla’s CEO Cecilia Kocken says that only now can they ‘make concrete decisions.’

    Sometimes you just want to dig into numbers. I noted a few weeks ago that Ukrainians love Sweden, and now we have a survey that, among other things, turns the tables and looks at how different European countries view Ukraine.

    The survey has the options ally, necessary partner, rival, and opponent.

    The European average is that 29% see an ally, 32% a partner, 6% a rival, 8% an opponent, and 25% don’t know.

    Swedes hold the favorite position and say 52% ally, 27% partner, 2% rival, 2% opponent, and 18% unsure. That is thus 79% who say ally or partner.

    Great Britain, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Portugal are other strongholds for support of Ukraine. Germany is about average.

    Hungary and Bulgaria are the countries with the most negatives, as expected I think (missing numbers for Slovakia). In Hungary, 25% see Ukraine as an opponent, and in Bulgaria the figure is 19%. However, it can be noted that the positive side in the bottom-ranked Hungary is larger than the negative: 15+28 compared to 5+25. Bulgaria is characterized by great uncertainty: 37%, that is, more than one in three respondents.

    The survey also goes into party level and looks at what different voters answer. The worst list is topped by the Polish Korona, which is part of the 10% cluster Confederation. Korona seems to be the Ukraine-hostile spearhead in that alliance and 65% see Ukraine as a rival or opponent. That is almost two out of three. Hungarian Fidesz, which lost in the last election, is close with 56% saying rival/opponent. The winner Tisza is more positive towards Ukraine: 11% are negative and 61% answer ally/partner.

    The voters behind the German AfD are predominantly negative but a little more divided: 40% rival/opponent and 33% ally/partner.

    Swedish voters then? I only have numbers for M, S, SD, V, and there SD has the most negatives towards Ukraine. However, you see the Sweden effect: 7% rival/opponent and 76%, or just over three out of four, see Ukraine as ally or partner. Then comes V with 4% negatives, S with 2% negatives (every 50th), and M with 1% negatives (every 100th).
