Russia's Defense Ministry said Ukrainian forces lost around 1,395 troops in the zone of what Moscow calls its "special military operation," according to a report by TASS.
The ministry also said Russian forces struck Ukrainian transport infrastructure facilities used by the Ukrainian military, as well as military equipment depots. As with other wartime casualty and strike figures released by the ministry, the claims could not be independently verified.
Context
Russian and Ukrainian authorities have each released their own, often conflicting, figures on military losses and the outcomes of strikes throughout the conflict, and such claims are generally treated with caution by independent observers. Ukraine had not issued its own figures in response to this specific claim, according to available reporting.
The report did not specify the exact locations of the infrastructure and depots said to have been struck, nor the timeframe over which the reported losses occurred.
