At least 315,000 Russian troops have been killed or injured so far in the war in Ukraine, amounting to nearly 90% of its personnel when the conflict started, a report says.
The statistic was highlighted in a declassified U.S. intelligence report that assessed Russia began its invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 with 360,000 troops, a source familiar with the document told Reuters.
"The scale of losses has forced Russia to take extraordinary measures to sustain its ability to fight. Russia declared a partial mobilization of 300,000 personnel in late 2022 and has relaxed standards to allow recruitment of convicts and older civilians," the source quoted the intelligence report as saying.
