Exclusive: Russia’s tactics cause massive losses in push toward Pokrovsk — Ukrainian colonel

But what is important is that the Russians are also losing in tempo. For every one killed, they have about 1.3 wounded. For every 100 killed, 130 wounded. This is a horrific ratio.

It is worse than during World War I. I do not know — it is worse than during the Crimean War, at a time when there were no sanitary conditions and, figuratively speaking, hands were not even washed before surgery.

And this also relates to the factor you mentioned — the weather — because people are sent one way, and any minor injury… Just imagine the level of exhaustion of a person spending the night in an open field at minus 16 degrees Celsius.
