Russia continues to lose equipment at a vast rate in its full-scale invasion, according to Ukraine whose latest figures suggest that June is on track for its biggest monthly losses of artillery systems for the whole war.
Data from Ukraine's defense ministry showed that in May, Russia had lost 1,160 artillery systems, the highest total for a month since Vladimir Putin started the invasion on February 24, 2022. It was the first time the figure had breached four figures and was well clear of the previous highest of 947 from September 2023.
But so far it looks like June will surpass that monthly record, with artillery losses in the first nine days already reaching 453, a rate if extrapolated over the month would equal 1,510.
