Summary
42,860 Russian troops were killed or wounded in July, the highest monthly loss for Moscow since January 2025 and the fourth-highest since the 2022 invasion, according to figures cited by the New York Post.
780 square kilometers and 26 settlements returned to Ukrainian control in the same period, marking Kyiv’s biggest territorial gains in more than a year through localized southern-front operations.
More than 11 kilometers of Russian positions were pushed back near the junction of the Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia regions, underscoring pressure on Moscow’s front lines.
Nearly 1.5 million total Russian personnel losses now loom as Moscow leans on aggressive recruitment, foreign nationals and North Korean manpower; Zelenskyy said Russia could add 30,000 to 50,000 more North Korean troops.
