TL;DR Summary

UK intelligence reports that Russia has likely suffered up to 480,000 casualties in the war against Ukraine, including 150,000-190,000 killed or permanently injured and 240,000-290,000 temporarily wounded. In a desperate attempt to replenish its manpower, Moscow is sending injured soldiers back into battle. The mounting losses are unlikely to deter Russian President Putin, and Russia's ability to defend held territory and conduct costly assaults depends on the number of personnel. Ukrainian soldiers have also suffered heavy casualties, with a shocking number of amputees due to Russia's reliance on mines and artillery.
