Britain’s largest intelligence agency says nearly half a million Russian soldiers have been killed since President Vladimir Putin launched the invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Despite the massive losses, experts say Putin has tied both his legacy and political survival to the outcome of the war, making it difficult for him to back down. Ukrainian officials say their strategy is now focused on removing more Russian troops from the battlefield than Moscow can recruit. #ukraine #russia #war #putin #mil
