According to Ukraine’s latest updated figures on combat losses inflicted on Russian forces, an estimated 41030 soldiers have been liquidated since the beginning of the conflict.

In addition a further five Russian tanks have been destroyed, as well as a further seven APVs and 16 artillery systems.

Russian forces reportedly suffered the greatest losses (of the past day) in the areas of the Donetsk and Kryvyi Rih regions.

The news follows reports of the first Ukrainian grain ship leaving the port of Odessa, Ukraine to the port of Lebanon, as reported on Monday, August 1.

This comes after the blockade of Black Sea ports brought on by the Russian invasion of Ukraine caused a world shortage of grain, pushing prices up globally and creating supply bottlenecks across the world.
