Ukrainian 🇺🇦 counter-offensive in 2023, the losses count 3 years later
With almost complete data from @LossesUA (KIA + MIA + POW), we now have a good database on Ukrainian losses during the 2023 counter-offensive, from June 4th to September 30th).
In total, nearly 10 000 Ukrainian soldiers were lost during that period, of which the majority was lost on one of the 3 offensives, 2 500 in Bakhmut, 1 900 in Robotyne and 1 100 in Velika Novosilka. There are relatively fewer losses for the Dnipro diversions (Vassylivka and Kherson).
The Bakhmut counter-offensive started few days earlier, after the city was lost and was the most costly offensive, for very few gains, it was probably the worst move, which is often forgotten, because it depleted key experienced units again after a costly Bakhmut battle, while the south depleted new units with few experience.
Based on @mediazona_en count, 12 737 confirmed Russian soldiers lost their lives during the same period, which shows how Russia defended every square kilometer until the end. Thus the loss ratio was 1:1.31 for Ukraine during this offensive.
