Russia's war casualties, dead and injured, have risen sharply in recent months, according to reports, straining its ability to replace losses.

In January 2024, Russia was losing far fewer troops — an average of 846 a day, according to the UK MOD.

But it was attracting between 1,000-1,100 new recruits a day, according to an estimate from Vadym Skibitskyi, deputy chief major general of Ukraine’s main military intelligence arm, more than enough to replace those lost.

Some estimates of Russia’s current military recruitment, alongside soaring casualty figures, suggest that this may no longer be the case.
