Russia saw its worst casualty toll in October since the Ukraine war began, with an estimated 1,500 soldiers dead or injured daily, according to UK Defence Chief Admiral Sir Tony Radakin. Speaking on BBC, Radakin highlighted the toll on Russia, with cumulative losses nearing 700,000. He noted that Russia’s immense expenditure on defence—over 40% of its budget—creates severe economic strain. Amid ongoing fighting, former US President Donald Trump, recently re-elected, plans to prioritize peace talks but faces criticism over perceived concessions to Russia. Ukrainian President Zelensky maintains that Ukraine will not cede any territory in pursuit of peace.
