Gen. Gerasimov continues to serve as chief of the military’s General Staff while holding the top command post in occupied Ukraine. The plan was for him to launch a general winter offensive with the aim of extending Russian control over the whole of the disputed Donbas region.
In their latest assessment posted on Twitter, U.K. military intelligence officials said Russia has sustained up to 200,000 casualties since the full-scale invasion began in February 2022. But a “significant minority” of those injuries have been due to noncombat causes such as criminal activity and deaths linked to alcohol consumption among the deployed Russian troops.
