Part 5/8:
Russia's Manpower Crisis
The dire situation for Russia's military is not merely an issue of gaining territory; it is rooted in a severe manpower crisis. Official reports suggest Russia trained over 300,000 soldiers for its military operations in the past year, but recruitment numbers are diminishing, failing to replace staggering attrition rates estimated at around 45,000 monthly in certain regions. This trend indicates a substantial disparity between Russian casualties and recruitment capabilities, rendering the ongoing offensive increasingly unsustainable.
