Russia has suffered more casualties in Ukraine war than all other conflicts combined since WWII: Pentagon

Russia has suffered some 600,000 casualties in its war with Ukraine — more than its losses in every conflict since World War II combined, according to U.S. officials. This September was the deadliest month of the entire war for Russia, a senior U.S. defense official told reporters on a call Wednesday. “Russian losses, again both killed and wounded in action, in just the first year of the war exceeded the total of all Soviet losses in any conflict since World War II combined,” the official said.However, the steep casualties are not a “definitive metric” of success for Ukraine, the official warned. Ukraine has also suffered mass casualties, though the U.S. has not disclosed how many. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in February that some 31,000 troops had been killed. The U.K. Ministry of Defence put Russia’s daily casualty count at 1,271 in September, and said some 648,000 Russians had been killed or injured in the war. NORTH KOREAN TROOPS NOW FIGHTING FOR…
