Russia has adapted its army to a grueling war and bets on the number of troops, not their quality, a report by the UK Ministry of Defense said Saturday.
There will likely be heavy combat losses for the Russians as they undertake a new offensive in eastern Ukraine, the report says.

According to British intelligence, during April, the Russians lost, including both killed and wounded, an average of 899 of their soldiers every day.
“It is quite likely that during the next two months, the level of losses among the Russians will increase again, as they resume targeted offensive operations in the east of Ukraine,” the report says.
According to the department's calculations, since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the Russian army has lost more than 465,000 soldiers – killed and wounded.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has slightly higher figures than the UK, saying that the Russian army has already lost more than 473,000 soldiers.
Earlier, British intelligence reported that the most Russians were killed and wounded in February. At that time, the Russian army lost an average of 983 soldiers every day.
In March, when there was a rest after the taking of Avdiivka, these indicators decreased.
The British Ministry of Defense also assessed the losses of Russian equipment.
According to the Ministry's estimates, since the beginning of the full-scale war, Russia has lost more than 10,000 units of armored vehicles.

Russia has the balls to invade and destroy other peaceful country, unfortunately has no brain to execute their stupidity properly.😂
Casualties are not same as deaths. 465 000 deaths is very inaccurate. You are supposed to be a reliable news source.
The UK Ministry of Defence Intelligence Updates on the war in Ukraine and the political climate in Mother Russia is unsurpassed. Kyiv Post, you ought to take note and stop politicizing this horrific war with your Trump Derangement Syndrome dumbshits.
@Jack Griffin, oohoo jack teixeira griffin is angry again
oh you sad boy from dickland living in cuntcity
If that's what it takes to stop the evil Russians, even though I hate the loss of life, let it happen until little Putin is alone at his big table and someone comes and throws him out of the window.
Resident orc S. Wolfskin Foreskin wont agree. Putler and rt news sez only 17 orcs got a few scratches the last 7 days. And they back in the trenches , and off course taking F16 s down daily . Not to mention the western tanks they bravely blow up non stop.
Putler will have an orgasm reading this. Like putinrump he gets off on deviant behaviour.
The fact that he has the power to actually command snuffing out so many lives makes him somehow feel validated. Putinrump is probably salivating imagining what he could do with such power. He calls putin "genius" and says his invasion of Ukraine is "wonderful" . Does not matter to such deviants whose lives they wreck with their lies. It's a extremely warped way of thinking.
The sane response must be to stop such tyrants as quickly as possible. In that regards, the UN and NATO forces response has been less than sane. So have certain democratic allies response been weakly insufficient. Many some leaders were distracted by 'tic-toc' videos of kittens and new dance moves? Maybe they should lose their social media privilages until they do the job they were hired to do; lead in a fashion that upholds global and domestic laws.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine is illegal, immoral and devastating. Allied leaders, send our troops to Ukraine's aid. STOP HIM NOW!
Also Germany ....you have risen to becoming one of the top monetary donors of Ukraine aid (Thanks You!), but those those Taurus missiles you are holding back were build for exactly this purpose! Just saying......
@John, your conviction in this is shared here and with many millions. Pootins nuclear threats are mute! France is taking the correct posture that ultimatly other western powers will have to follow. Regardless of the propaganda, Russia cannot compete against a Western economy.. when they finally get on a war footing!
@darrenp, Ah... the place and threads we virulent pooo-tin HATERS post. FUCK YOU vlllaadddy!
You French got the BALLS. Wish I could say that for my usa.
@darrenp, Hates pooo-tin, Methinks... at what pt does the Ukraine need help w boots on the ground? Running otta men which is the meat grinder strategy across the line. Again... the FRENCH won't rule that option out.
@John, Go fuck yourself you shameless ass hole John the Loon from Canada. Had President-elect Trump been rightfully reinstated into the White House this horrific war would have never been started.
Hey dumb fuck, when has Putrid invaded Ukraine? First under President Zero. Not an inch towards Ukraine during Trump. And now under the idiot who is in bed with America's Military Industrial Complex.
You only continue to expose what a shameless dumb fuck you truly are.
Keep up the good work.
@Jack Griffin, get laid you son o a whore
@Rheinhardt Wilheim, your momma is busy so waiting
@Cuntcity wilheim, hahaha jack griffin is a lowlife
i am still living rentfree in you brainless skull
@Rheinhardt Wilheim, you’re living rent free in the sewer you piece of shit, fuck you!
How you doing MRGA troll jack....
Has the MAGA sociopath narcissist leader decided to share its "24 hour war solution" to the allies yet, or does RUMP only share in putin's happiness to continue to see more innocent Ukrainian lives murdered by the russian invaders?
You don't have to answer Jack...regardless of your response, we already now the truth and your manipulative intend.
Putinrump has no plan to actually help Ukraine ...only one to hand Ukraine to putin in a gift wrapped box so he can continue his genocide more efficiently.
It’s been clear for about 6 years now that putinrump and his MAGA cult only do putins bidding.
Jack is hoping to convince USA voters of the opposite so they can get putins RUMP back in power so he can run much again. .
