The ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, characterized by a devastating war of attrition, is currently claiming soldiers' lives at a rate unprecedented in Europe since World War II. Ukrainian tactics utilizing artillery, drones, and mines are inflicting brutal losses on Russian forces. Conversely, Ukrainian soldiers face heavy casualties from Russian long-range attacks. Accurate casualty figures remain elusive due to state secrecy, particularly from Ukraine.
