Russia losing 6,000 more troops per month than it can recruit in Ukraine
Russia is losing approximately 6,000 more soldiers per month in Ukraine than it can recruit, according to Western officials cited by The Guardian. The Russian military recruits about 1,000 people daily, a pace insufficient over the past two months to replace casualties. Moscow has launched over 360 missiles against Ukrainian civilians and infrastructure since early July. A new mobilization would present significant political, economic, and operational risks for Putin's government.
