Russia’s Losses in Ukraine Just Passed the Battle of Stalingrad — the Bloodiest Fight of World War II

The comparison is staggering: Russia's casualties in Ukraine now exceed the Battle of Stalingrad — the bloodiest fight of World War II. A new CSIS study counts 1.4 million Russian casualties, 450,000 dead, and losses of 30,000+ a month against just 27,000 recruits — a math problem with no solution. Worse for Moscow: it's now losing ground, not gaining it, shrinking by 400 square kilometers this spring. Eight Russians fall for every Ukrainian, and the war's total toll has passed 2 million.
