The UK Defense Ministry revealed that approximately 900,000 Russian soldiers have been either killed or wounded since the invasion of Ukraine, with estimated fatalities ranging from 200,000 to 250,000. This exodus of soldiers marks Russia's largest military losses since WWII. The ministry notes that President Putin and military leaders may prioritize their war objectives over soldier lives. As Russia's worker shortage intensifies, public support and the capability to replenish losses are critical factors in sustaining military engagement.
