United24 Media reports that Ukraine's General Staff puts Russian losses at 22,880 troops killed or wounded in 10 days of November 2026, with daily tolls repeatedly topping 2,000, while Ukraine holds positions around Kupiansk, Huliaipole, and Dobropillia, and Kostiantynivka remains outside Russian control after nearly a year of fighting. The outlet says the Kremlin, despite losses exceeding 1.5 million since the full-scale invasion began, is preparing covert mobilization that could recruit up to 300,000 troops in each of 2026 and 2027, and concludes negotiations should be approached from strength rather than concessions.
