An estimated 7,000 Russian troops have died and 10% of the army’s equipment has been destroyed during Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine, The Guardian reports, citing Western officials.
One official says Russian troops have been trying to encircle the Ukrainian capital for many days but had failed to make any real progress.
Russia has so far admitted 498 of its soldiers were killed, and another 1,597 wounded amid the invasion, as of March 2.
