The Russian army continues to suffer casualties on a daily basis, and it shows.

And this is despite the recent addition of mobilized and contract soldiers. It is noteworthy, that the personnel is forbidden to leave its location. This is the attempt of Russian troops to at least somehow prevent desertion.
