Russia’s Army Shrinking by 6,000 Soldiers a Month, West Says

Western officials report that Russia is losing about 6,000 more troops in Ukraine each month than it can recruit. Even though Moscow is still signing up new soldiers at a rapid pace—roughly 1,000 per day—that rate has not been enough over the last two months to replace the number of fighters killed or wounded on the battlefield. The gap highlights growing strain on Russia’s military manpower as the war continues.
