Ukraine began its summer counteroffensive in June, armed with Western tanks and weapons. In the time since, morgues are seeing "more or less double" the fatalities, NYT reported. US officials estimated this year that Ukraine had lost more than 100,000 soldiers since the war began. The New York Times reported morgues in the country are seeing vastly increased fatalities due to the heightened fighting. The total dead in the local morgues is "more or less double since the counteroffensive" started, added.
