The mortality rate of seriously wounded Russian soldiers is more than 50 percent.
According to the Ukrainian Army, the high mortality rate results from poor quality medical care and the Kremlin’s reluctance to evacuate the seriously wounded to Russia.
The Russian leader announced a “partial mobilisation” of troops on September 21, Russia’s first mobilisation since World War 2.
This comes as Putin’s war effort in Ukraine appears to be stalling, with the Ukrainian army having retaken more than 6,000 sq km of land since the start of September, according to the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).
The ISW said Russian forces are facing a “major operational defeat”.
Meanwhile, the US Defense Department estimated that at least 80,000 Russian troops have been killed or wounded since the Kremlin’s invasion of Ukraine began on February 24 2022.
