Russian intrusion - Conflict in Ukraine results in nearly half a million Russian casualties.
From the time the conflict in Ukraine began, approximately 465,000 Russian soldiers are believed to have been either killed or injured, as reported by the UK government.
This revelation was shared by a British official during a talk at the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) in Vienna, which the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office in London then cited. The current daily average of Russian casualties surpasses any previous month, with around 1,000 soldiers sustaining injuries or passing away.
Not only is this conflict taking its toll on the human lives of Russians, but it's also proving financially draining for the country. Defense spending now makes up 40% of Russia's total government expenses, representing around 6% of its overall GDP. The speaker mentioned that these numbers convey a catastrophic picture for Russia - considering the loss of lives, property, and reputation.
