9.The daily figure reported by Kyiv was 1,660, the second highest of the war.The previous second highest was 1,630 reported on Oct. 25, which surpassed the previous record of 1,530, which was set just a week earlier.The bloodiest day for Moscow's forces was on May 13, when they suffered a reported 1,740 casualties.While Russian forces are suffering record losses, they're also making increasingly swift gains in the east of Ukraine.According to a Bloomberg analysis published on Nov. 1, Ukraine has lost 1,146 square kilometers of its own territory since the launch of the Kursk Oblast incursion in early August, with the week up until Nov. 1 reported as the worst in terms of lost territory in all of 2024.On Nov. 2, Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi said that Ukraine was facing “one of the most powerful” Russian offensives since the start of the all out war.Over autumn, large chunks of Ukrainian territory, sometimes including entire cities, have been lost on a near-daily basis in southern Donetsk Oblast, while Russian forces have also made operationally significant gains near Toretsk, Chasiv Yar, Kupiansk, as well as on their own soil in Kursk Oblast.Despite the grim situation, Healey told the Telegraph that Russia's momentum isn't unstoppable.
