Yesterday, Ukraine's Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov stated that Russian battlefield losses are accelerating and may hit a record in March 2026. Fedorov blamed Russia's leadership decisions, including poorly trained personnel and no evacuation pathways. He also said troops are discouraged from surrendering despite the possibility of prisoner exchanges.
