British intelligence gave the reason for the very high death toll of Russian soldiers in Ukraine

The UK Ministry of Defence reported this on Twitter.

Russia is grappling with a military medical crisis after losing an average of around 400 people a day for 17 months.

According to the head of combat medicine at Kalashnikov, it is likely that up to 50 per cent of Russian combat casualties could have been prevented by providing proper first aid.

The very slow evacuation of wounded, combined with the improper use of a crude Russian combat tourniquet, is the main cause of preventable deaths and amputations," the UK Ministry of Defence said.

Intelligence also reports that Russian military casualties have undermined the regular provision of some Russian civilian medical services, particularly in border regions near Ukraine.

Many specialised military hospitals are likely reserved for officers' wounded.

We shall remind you: the General Staff has published the occupier's losses as of 10 July. Since 24 February 2022, Russia's manpower losses in a full-scale war amount to 234,480.
