Russian military losses on the front have reportedly increased eightfold, with the army’s latest offensive ending in failure.

Axar.az reports that the Voenkor Kotyonok Telegram channel noted that 80–90% of casualties occur at the front lines, while 8–10 soldiers die in transit without engaging the enemy.

Meanwhile, the “Reporter Filatov” channel reported that the number of Russian soldiers killed has already surpassed the intake of new contract recruits.

The “Fighterbomber” channel added that if the Russian army continues its current slow pace, capturing the remaining parts of Donbas could take at least five years.
