A total of 1,680 Russian fighters were killed or injured in the past 24 hours, Ukraine's military said on Monday.

Russia sustained more than 10,000 casualties in a week, according to statistics from Ukraine’s military, with the fast-approaching winter season unlikely to bring a lull in high numbers of fighters killed and injured in the grinding conflict.

Moscow has suffered a total of 690,720 casualties since February 2022, Ukraine’s General Staff said on Monday. This includes 1,680 fighters being killed or injured in the past 24 hours, according to Kyiv.

This figure also brings Moscow’s total casualties, per Kyiv’s count, to 10,490 in the previous seven days.
