WorldRussia losing 6,000 more troops than it recruits each month in Ukraine, says west
Western officials say Russia is recruiting about 1,000 people a day but losing roughly 6,000 more troops to casualties each month in Ukraine. They believe Vladimir Putin is responding by intensifying attacks on civilians and infrastructure while seeking to avoid direct confrontation with Nato. A new mobilisation could carry major political and economic risks for Moscow.
