Russia's "meat-grinder" tactics in the nearly three-year-old war in Ukraine has resulted in Moscow taking territory but at an "enormous cost" in military lives lost, according to a report.

Since invading its western neighbor in February 2022, Russia has captured or retaken about 907 square miles in eastern Ukraine and in Russia's western Kursk region, but the gains have been marked by a dreadful human toll, the BBC reported.
