Russia is recruiting 30,000 new soldiers a month to make up for the ones thrown into the meat grinder in Ukraine, a top Ukrainian intelligence official said this week.

That's about 1,000 to 1,100 people a day, according to the assessment from Vadym Skibitskyi, deputy chief major general of Ukraine's main military intelligence arm.
