Russia suffers bloodiest month of Ukraine war losing nearly 46,000 troops to Putin’s meatgrinder, says UK intelligence

RUSSIA has suffered its bloodiest month yet in its war with Ukraine, with almost 46,000 troops lost to Putin’s relentless meatgrinder.

Russian soldiers were being slaughtered and wounded at an average daily rate of 1,523 in November, according to UK intelligence services.

November also saw the most damaging single day for Russia, with 2,030 losses on November 28.

This was the first time more than 2,000 Russian losses were recorded in a single day.

A war loss means a soldier has been killed or seriously wounded and put out of action. 

November marked the fifth month in a row that the grim record for losses has been broken, and the figure was a considerable increase on October’s total of almost 42,000.

But heartless Vlad is seemingly indifferent to the colossal pain he is inflicting on his people.

Rather than pulling back or even holding the frontline, he is pushing forward on multiple fronts, including Kursk, Kupiansk and Toretsk, in an attempt to snatch more land.

His army's advances in these areas are gradual and come at a huge cost to the Russian people.

The bloodthirsty maniac is also planning new offensives in two more directions, in the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions. 

He evidently believes his crazed obsession with expanding his domain is worth the sickening casualty rate.

There are no signs Vlad intends to let up; the UK’s Defence Intelligence expects Russia’s casualty rate to remain above 1,000 per day through December 2024, despite the onset of winter.

Whilst Ukraine is losing ground on multiple fronts, its forces have continued to hold parts of the Kursk region they took in August.

Experts predict that Ukraine will retain a defensive mentality over winter, at least until Donald Trump’s inauguration in January when the picture will become clearer.

When Trump enters the White House, he will deploy a plan being worked on behind the scenes that he hopes will end the war in Ukraine within a matter of days.

He regularly promised to bring peace to the region “within 24 hours” during the election campaign this year.

Details of the plan have been emerging, including Trump’s intention to use military support for Ukraine as a “carrot and stick” tool to bring the warring leaders to the discussion table.

If the Russian warmonger kept snatching land and refused to join peace talks, Trump would make him suffer by pouring more cash into Ukraine’s military.

Zelensky would be rewarded for following Trump’s lead with support for Ukraine to protect itself under the new terms of any deal.

Under Trump’s plan, Zelensky would have to give up the land Russia has already taken in the eastern regions of Ukraine and drop his dream of immediately joining Nato.

Insiders close to Trump told The Sun that Putin is “scared to death” of the president-elect and will be ready to talk when he takes power.

But, because Russia is making gradual land advances at the moment, some also fear that Putin will drag his heels in order to grab every inch of territory he can.
