Russian soldiers are dying in greater numbers this month than at any time since the Ukraine invasion began.

Ukrainian data has confirmed that up to 824 soldiers have died per day in February, with the UK's Ministry of Defence saying these figures were "likely accurate." 

UK correspondent Gavin Grey says that there may be a range of factors contributing to these deaths, including lack of trained personnel, poor co-ordination, and a lack of resources making it to the front lines.
