  • Russia's daily losses on the Ukrainian battlefield have been increasing since 2022, UK intelligence says.
  • "Each year has seen a rise in the daily average loss rate," the UK's defense ministry said.
  • Russia's reliance on attritional warfare could come at the expense of its economy and labor market.

Losing nearly a thousand soldiers a day isn't stopping the Russians from launching mass attacks on Ukraine, the UK's defense ministry has said in an intelligence dispatch.
