- Ukraine’s parliament advanced a bill to create Space Forces.

## Summary

Ukraine’s General Staff said Russian forces suffered 2,980 soldiers killed or seriously injured on 8 November, a daily total it described as a record. The claim comes amid heavy fighting and matters because analysts say Ukraine has adapted to Russia’s costly assault tactics, while Moscow has made limited changes despite mounting losses.

The reported total exceeded the previous daily record of 2,500, set on 1 November, and followed Ukraine’s announcement that Russian losses had reached 400,000 since the full-scale invasion began in 2022. Separately, Ukraine’s parliament advanced a bill to establish Space Forces, with 252 votes; it requires a second reading. Rosneft also reportedly restricted fuel purchases in several Russian regions amid attacks on refineries.
