According to a report on April 12 from a US website, in the three - year conflict, the Russian military has suffered heavy losses, but there are no signs of the fighting stopping.
During an interview, the Commander - in - Chief of the Armed Forces of a certain country provided some important insights into the current war process. His comments on the number of Russian troops involved in the fighting were particularly notable, as was his assessment of the ongoing battles in a certain Russian region where the military of his country suffered a major setback in March but is still fighting.
The report said that despite heavy losses in the conflict, the Russian military continued to increase its troop strength. It is estimated that the number of Russian troops fighting is about 623,000, an increase of about 40,000 since November 2024. These estimates of the number of Russian troops actively participating in the conflict are consistent with the assessments of some military officers.
It was said that the Kremlin sends about 8,000 to 9,000 soldiers to the conflict zone each month, and these soldiers are recruited within Russia. The main reason for the successful expansion of the Russian military is financial incentives rather than conscription. Although Russia continues to conscript young people, these conscripts are usually not sent to the front - line.
The report also said that although the Russian military has suffered heavy losses, it has not only made up for the casualties but even expanded the total number of troops involved in the conflict.
