More than 100,000 Russian military casualties in Ukraine, top US general

WASHINGTON, 10 November 2022, (TON): America's top general estimated that Russia's military had seen more than 100,000 of its soldiers killed and wounded in Ukraine, and added Kyiv's armed forces probably suffered a similar level of casualties in the war.

The estimates could not be independently confirmed by Reuters.

But Milley's remarks offer the highest U.S. estimate of casualties to date in the nearly nine-month-old conflict, and came as Ukraine and Russia face a potential winter lull in fighting that experts say could offer an opportunity for some kind of negotiations.

Asked about prospects for diplomacy in Ukraine, Milley noted that the early refusal to negotiate in World War One compounded human suffering and led to millions more casualties.
