Injured Russian soldiers are being sent back to the front lines without treatment, a report says. One soldier's mother reportedly said that they were being treated "like cows at a slaughterhouse." Russia appears to be suffering from manpower shortages as Ukraine's counteroffensive continues. The claims come amid further reports about Russia's mounting losses and ammunition shortages as Ukraine continues its counteroffensive. A recent investigative report by independent Russian outlets said that the average time for a mobilized Russian troop to die in Ukraine was just four-and-a-half months.
