There is a possibility of Russia carrying out additional ballistic/cruise missile launches towards Kyiv/Kyiv Oblast in the coming hours.

Regarding the colossal amount of Russian losses reported by the Ukrainian General Staff, this is due to a combination of continued and abnormally aggressive Russian assaults in certain directions, specifically Dobropillia and Huliaipole; the falling of the leaves, which both help to actually eliminate more Russian resources but also help to verify them, which is a condition to add them to the daily count; and, very likely, some exaggeration.

I agree. This is a common trend for this time of the year, where all the usual movement and infiltration routes are all of a sudden very exposed due to falling leaves. This, combined with unusually intense Russian offensive operations, is naturally going to create such an effect. I expect casualties will begin to decrease over winter.

Of course, as Playfra rightly points out, these numbers provided by the Ukrainian General Staff are exaggerated. In my opinion, the claims of 3k Russian casualties in a day (KIA + WIA) are a significant exaggeration. Claims that they have videos of all the FPV strikes are just claims, and there is no way to verify these numbers when we only see a small fraction of this supposed total.

And one must also ask, if Russia is suffering such heavy casualties due to these abnormally large offensive operations, then how many casualties is Ukraine suffering due to these same abnormally large offensive operations, which are naturally supported with larger-than-usual strike campaigns.
