 Russian losses in Ukraine reach 1,500 soldiers a day. NATO estimates that Russia loses 1,500 soldiers in the fight in Ukraine daily. This number includes both killed and injured members of personnel. About it informed the Guardian outlet with reference to a top NATO official who prepared to remain anonymous. Dan Sabo, correspondent of The Guardian, cites his source which states that Russians suffer most significant losses in the city of Bakhmut in Donetsk, Oblast. Ukraine loses an order of magnitude less soldiers but specific numbers were not revealed. In addition to this NATO estimates that several thousand shells are used by both sides every day. NATO cannot predict for how long the battle of Bakhmut will continue. At the moment heavy fighting is ongoing on the front line in the city along the Bakhmutka River which has turned into a killing zone. As of the beginning of March Western intelligence estimated Russia's losses in the fights for the city of Bakhmut in Donetsk, Oblast to be 20,000 to 30,000 of recruits of the Wagner group in the last few months. Killed soldiers are estimated to be about a third of this quantity. Additionally Western officials believe that the Wagner group is running out of reserves. As the number of men of draft age in Russian prisons where the Wagner mercenaries are recruited is beginning to decrease. Then NATO estimated Russia's losses in the battles for Bakhmut in Donetsk, Oblast to be five times higher than Ukraine's losses.
