Russia averaged nearly 1,000 casualties per day in February, marking a new record, UK intel says

• Russia averaged nearly 1,000 casualties per day in February in Ukraine, the UK Ministry of Defence said.
• The high rate likely reflects "Russia's commitment to mass and attritional warfare," the MoD said.
• While Russia's tactics are costly, they have increased pressure on Ukrainian positions.

Russian forces suffered an average of 983 casualties per day in Ukraine in February, the highest since the war began, the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) said in an intelligence update on Sunday.
