If you think 97% of wounded returning to combat is so crazy what do you think that number is for Ukraine? I couldn't find anything but if I had to guess it would be above 80%. This should go without saying but clearly not in your case, that is an observation and alone doesnt disprove any of my claims. Russia can send wounded back to the front and abandon people on the front and send people carelessly into the meat grinder and what I said can still be correct. Healthy supply of troops means they have enough troops on the front to hold/push, they have troops in reserve and they have potential people to conscript. All of those are true. Even if we are purely talking about the physical health of thr troops they're still healthy enough to push and defend.

Here is another article reporting on thr Ukrainian commander Chiefs analysis. Because you can't read he says russia has the capacity to mobilise 5million trained troops and full mobilisation capacity of 20 million.

how do you maintain forces in the field by sending wounded soldiers into meat wave assaults?

Russia has 150 million people. Russia treats its troops like dogshit. Ukraine is 1/3 the size and they have been open about their manpower issues but still can they field 880,000 active troops. Thats enough to defend their entire border.

Only you and slop outlets that dont follow the conflict have this idea that russia is running out of people.

The sources you cite are MSN and CNN the source I cite are military intel institutions and the commander in chief of Ukraine. We are not the same.

You come off as trying to intentionally undermine the situation in Ukraine by suggesting theyre doing fine and on the verge of winning. They aren't and they need support. People shouldn't be lulled into a delusional state of things are fine. Ukraine is at a huge disadvantage and have done well inspite of everything.
