Russian soldiers are grappling with intense hardships on the Ukrainian front. Their heavy casualties are a testament to their struggle to gain control over areas like Avdiivka and other frontline regions. While they are intended to head north, they're being driven south by the Ukrainian forces in Krynka. It doesn't come as a surprise that a soldier collapsed on the battlefield, unable to rise.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces report that an extraordinary 339,850 Russian soldiers have been killed since the invasion of Ukraine started on February 24, 2022. The aggressor's losses have been considerable in recent weeks, exceeding a thousand casualties daily. Despite brave but reckless assaults causing loss to men and machinery, the Russians have been unable to make significant front-line advancements.

A chilling incident captured by Ukrainian reconnaissance drones occurred near Avdiivka. Two invaders, advancing near the frontline, strolled past a long-destroyed armored vehicle and proceeded toward their positions. One of them unexpectedly collapsed and was motionless after that. The actual cause? It's unclear.

One thing's for sure - this Russian mercenary's war has ended.

Perhaps he was injured and fainted. Or perhaps he suffered a heart attack - a fate far from unlikely in the army, especially considering the poor physical condition of Russian conscripts. These soldiers are constantly under stress, compelled to launch attacks despite facing the risk of death and severe wounds.

Over time there is a growing shortage of soldiers and volunteers for battle in Russia. Many people are reluctant to join the military. Putin and his administration are desperately trying to avoid conscripting young Russians from major cities. Thus, military commanders have resorted to recruiting illegal immigrants, who number in the millions in Russia.

These immigrants are primarily residents from the countries of the former USSR, who are eager to earn a good living.

Russian officials have found a lucrative enterprise in selling student visas, which simultaneously attracts more illegal immigrants from all across Asia. Now, in an egregious twist, these immigrants are being exploited as cannon fodder on the frontlines. Immigrants who have arrived illegally are indiscriminately rounded up from across the nation and then conscripted into the military, effectively stripped of any choice in the matter.
