More than 465,000 Russian soldiers already wounded or killed in Ukraine
More than 465,000 Russian soldiers have already been wounded or killed in Ukraine since Russia began its invasion of Ukraine. This was reported by British military intelligence in an update last Saturday.
In April, Russian forces lost an average of 899 dead and wounded per day. The British intelligence services believe this number will rise again in the next two months as the Russians begin new offensive operations in eastern Ukraine.
Since the start of the conflict, the number of dead and wounded on the Russian side has exceeded 465,000, in a strategy that puts quantity over quality. "This reliance on mass will almost certainly continue for the duration of the Ukraine war and have long-lasting effects on Russia's future army," British military intelligence said.
