The war in Ukraine continues to escalate, with significant casualties reported on both sides. As of July 24, Ukrainian authorities estimate that Russian military losses have exceeded 570,120, including both killed and seriously wounded soldiers. The conflict has not only resulted in a high human cost but also heavy losses in military equipment for Russia, with thousands of tanks, armored vehicles, and drones destroyed or incapacitated.
Despite these staggering figures, Russia continues to claim territorial gains. Recently, the Russian Defense Ministry announced the capture of the village of Ivano-Darivka in eastern Ukraine, although this has not been confirmed by Ukrainian sources. This advance comes amid a backdrop of diplomatic efforts, as Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kouleba visits China to seek peaceful resolutions to the ongoing conflict.
