Analysts recognize that this approach has sometimes been effective, bringing the Russian army victories in Avdiivka and Bakhmut in eastern Ukraine. However, during the latest offensive in the Kharkiv region, this tactic did not bring significant success.
Addendum
The NYT adds that according to US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, at least 350,000 Russian troops have been killed or wounded since the start of the full-scale invasion .
Yet British estimates put the number of Russians killed and wounded at more than 500,000.
Estimates of American casualties in the war are based on satellite imagery, intercepted messages from reporters on social media and the media, and official reports from Russia and Ukraine. But such estimates vary even within the US government
Recall
Russian President Vladimir Putin said that almost 700 thousand Russians are taking part in the war against Ukraine.
