UK intelligence estimates the Russian-backed Donetsk militia has lost more than half of its original number – either killed or wounded – since the war began.
Moscow has not released its military casualties since March 25.
The MOD update said: “However, the self-declared Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) publishes casualty figures for its forces.
“As of June 16, the DPR acknowledged 2,128 military personnel killed in action, and 8,897 wounded, since the start of 2022. The DPR casualty rate is equivalent to around 55 per cent of its original force, which highlights the extraordinary attrition Russian and pro-Russian forces are suffering in the Donbas.
