(1/5) Russian Ministry of Defence and private military contractor (PMC) forces have likely suffered 175-200,000 casualties since the start of the invasion of Ukraine. This likely includes approximately 40-60,000 killed.
(2/5) The Russian casualty rate has significantly increased since September 2022 when β€˜partial mobilisation’ was imposed.
(3/5) By modern standards, these figures represent a high ratio of personnel killed compared to those wounded. This is almost certainly due to extremely rudimentary medical provision across much of the force.
(4/5) Artillery has almost certainly inflicted the majority of Russia’s casualties.
(5/5) Wagner PMC forces have deployed large numbers of convict-recruits. These have probably experienced a casualty rate of up to 50%.

(1/4)

Andrey Turchak, the leader of the Russian parliamentary group that is focused on the so-called Special Military Operation in Ukraine, stated on 16 February 2023 that the group had presented a report to Russian President Putin.
(2/4)

The report is likely to cover issues such as social support to those mobilised and their families. This issue is likely to become more salient if any further mobilisation (be it overt or tacit) takes place.

(1/5) In the last three days, Wagner Group forces have almost certainly made further small gains around the northern outskirts of the contested Donbas town of Bakhmut, including into the village of Krasna Hora.
(2/5) However, organised Ukrainian defence continues in the area. The tactical Russian advance to the south of the town has likely made little progress.
