British Intelligence has said that more than 300,000 Russian soldiers have been killed fighting in Ukraine since the war started on 24 February 2022.
Tens of thousands have also runaway from the fighting and Vladimir Putin is now offering 1 million rubles, which is around £8,000 for people to join up and fight in Ukraine.
