Russia's lost troops

BBC World Service - The Fifth Floor, Russia's lost troops

Olga Ivshina on the human cost of Russia’s war in Ukraine

Olga Ivshina has been monitoring Russian losses in Ukraine

How many soldiers are fighting - and dying - for Russia in Ukraine? Who are they, and what do their stories tell us about Russia's frontline tactics? We'll ask Olga Ivshina, who has been monitoring Russian losses in Ukraine from day one. Plus, Anne McAlpine from BBC Alba dives into the history of Gaelic proverbs. 

Produced by Alice Gioia and Caroline Ferguson.
