Russia has ramped up the pace of operations on the battlefield in recent weeks. Whether that constitutes its anticipated summer offensive, or if that effort is still to come, is an open question.

That is well in excess of all casualties suffered by Russia and the Soviet Union in all the conflicts since World War II combined.
