Russia suffered another day of heavy losses on the battlefield in Ukraine on Monday, taking the army's death toll further over the half-million mark.
Russia endured one of its most catastrophic days of fighting on Sunday, taking the total number of casualties to over half a million.As it continues to sacrifice both bodies and materiel to the frontlines, all while enduring costly economic sanctions, this high toll raises the question of how much longer its strategy of attrition warfare can be sustained.
According to the ministry's estimates, Russia has lost nearly the same number of troops in the past three days as it did in the first full month of fighting .If the ministry's estimates are correct, this would bring Russia's total casualties to around 535,660 soldiers, compared to the at least 30,000 Ukraine admits to having lost.
