| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited [Korrespondent] The 74th Motorized Rifle Brigade from the Kemerovo Region of the Russian Federation suffered the greatest losses - about 2,500 dead. Internal Russian documents show catastrophic losses for the 41st Army of the Central Military District. We are talking about thousands of dead, missing and deserters. This was reported by the I Want to Live project on Thursday, July 17. Thus, as of June 1, 2025, at least 8,625 servicemen of the 41st Combined Arms Army of Russia have died during the war against Ukraine. Another 10,491 are considered missing in action, and 7,846 are deserters. Among all the units, the 74th Motorized Rifle Brigade from the Kemerovo Region of the Russian Federation suffered the greatest losses - about 2,500 killed, almost 3,000 missing and about the same number declared wanted. "Based on the pre-war strength of the motorized rifle brigades of the Russian Armed Forces (around 3,500 people - ed.), the 74th Brigade, in these categories alone, without taking into account prisoners of war and the wounded, has replaced two full complements," the report says. According to the project, the Russian army suffered these losses mainly in the Pokrovsk region of Donetsk. A particularly high percentage of deserters is noted among mobilized prisoners. Let us recall that over the past 24 hours, the Ukrainian Armed Forces eliminated 1,190 Russian invaders . Since the beginning of the full-scale war against Ukraine, the Russian army has lost 1,038,650 servicemen. |
