Russia is suffering significant losses on the Ukrainian front and is losing its ability to replace these losses with its own forces.
Modern.az reports that the Bloomberg publication wrote about this.
The publication notes that this has led to an increased reliance on foreign mercenaries (their number is approximately 17,000-ed) from India, Pakistan, Nepal, Cuba, Nigeria, Senegal, and North Korea.
According to Bloomberg, Russia's losses during the war exceed 1.2 million, and in some areas of the front, up to 25 Russian servicemen are killed for every Ukrainian.
Despite this, Russian troops continue to maintain control over individual cities and strike Ukraine's energy infrastructure.
