Summary

Russia suffered its highest monthly losses of the year in September, with Ukraine's armed forces reporting 46,000 casualties. The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) noted that Russia gained no territory in return, with significant losses in the Donetsk oblast. This coincides with Ukraine's counteroffensive, 'Operation Vivaldi,' which has thwarted Moscow's attempts to capture critical cities in the Donbas region. The ISW reported that between March and September, Russian troops lost almost 115 square miles of territory, with a net loss of 80.81 square kilometers (30 square miles) in September alone. The Kremlin has denied plans for a widespread mobilization to replenish troops.
