Russia is really getting concerned with population loss lately. The war must be taking a massive longterm toll .

I read some where that in a recording about them discussing north korean soldiers, one russian soldier said "there will be millions of them coming to help".

I think it's a key propaganda focus because the losses are starting to show a lot
