Russia’s losses have reached a record level, exceeding its monthly mobilization rate.

According to Ukrinform, this was stated by Ukraine’s Minister of Defense Mykhailo Fedorov on Facebook following a meeting with members of the German Bundestag Committee on Security and Defense, led by Thomas Röwekamp.

“We presented our approach to warfare across three domains – air, land, and economy. I provided data showing that on the battlefield we are not only holding positions but also increasing pressure. Russia’s losses have reached a record level, exceeding its monthly mobilization rate,” he said.

According to the minister, this is the result of systematic work – from innovation implementation to resource management and the development of technological capabilities.

“I am grateful to Germany for supporting our key priorities: strengthening air defense, providing long-range munitions, and developing drone capabilities,” Fedorov added.

He also highlighted the role of the Bundestag in directing resources toward areas that deliver the greatest impact for Ukraine’s Defense Forces. The sides also discussed deepening mutually beneficial cooperation.

“Ukraine is ready to share its unique combat experience, digital solutions, and to enable testing of new defense technologies within the ‘Test in Ukraine’ platform. We are deepening a partnership that delivers practical results on the battlefield and strengthens the security of Europe,” the minister concluded.
