Euromaidan Press reports Ukraine's General Staff claim that Russia lost 16,130 troops killed and wounded from 1 to 7 November 2026 — its worst week of the full-scale war, averaging a regiment a day — figures Kyiv says cannot be independently verified. Drone commander Robert Brovdi reported a record 751 troops killed or wounded by his pilots on 5 November, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius gave a lower 30,000–40,000-a-month estimate, and three-way US-Ukraine-Russia talks are due in Abu Dhabi that week.
