One occupier out of action every 29 seconds: Russia lost 2,980 troops in day, an all-time record – General Staff
On November 8, 2026, Russian occupation units lost 2,980 troops killed or seriously wounded.
Censor.NET reports this, citing the General Staff’s press center.
Russia’s highest daily losses
The General Staff said the figure exceeded the combined strength of six crews of the cruiser "Moskva" and was Russia’s highest daily losses figure since the start of the full-scale invasion. The previous record of 2,500 personnel was set a week earlier, on November 2.
"Since the start of 2026, the Russian army has already lost 400,410 troops. The enemy crossed the 400,000 mark yesterday. These figures are the result of the daily work of Ukraine’s Defense Forces. The Russian command keeps sending units into suicidal assaults, and our troops stop these attacks day after day," the statement said.
According to the General Staff, Russia is trying to terrorize civilians as it fails to make gains on the front line.
"We know how difficult things are for many families right now. Power workers, rescue crews and municipal services are working around the clock to help everyone affected," the General Staff stressed.
