Moscow has ploughed ahead with its advance westward in eastern Ukraine, slowly gaining territory at a high cost to its front-line personnel.
Russian casualties in Ukraine have surpassed 450,000 since February 2022, according to figures published by Ukraine's military on Wednesday.Moscow's forces lost 830 troops in the past day, by Kyiv's count, bringing the total number of reported casualties in the more than two years of full-scale war to 450,080.

The uncertainty from Ukraine's single-largest donator jeopardizes Ukrainian operations, analysts have said. European countries, led by the Czech Republic, are in the process of drumming up funding for new ammunition batches earmarked for Ukraine.Since the capture of Avdiivka, though, Russia's reported casualties have dropped. Moscow likely reduced attacks to recover from the onslaught on Avdiivka, and to pull down casualties ahead of March's presidential election, the U.K.
