Russische Opfer – 17. März 2026

These days, Russian MIA/KIA #s >1K are almost a „all quiet on the orcish fronts“ moments.

IMO at present, the most relevant indicator for Ukrainian operational successes is the # of Russian soldiers captured as POWs (*not available to the public*), as this both reflects the state of the Russian military in the frontline sectors and Ukrainian tactical exploits.

TL/DR: If Ukraine continues to hold, Russian ground offensive capacities will be gone by autumn/winter of this year.
