Russia is losing about 6,000 more troops in Ukraine each month than it can recruit, western officials have said.

While Russia is still acquiring new battlefield recruits at speed, with an estimated rate of 1,000 a day, in the last two months even this has not been sufficient to replace those killed or injured.

From what we know loss ratio is more like 1:6-1:10 in this war.

Ukraine uses strategies that minimise human losses while russia does the opposite.
