There are roughly 1.3m births per year in Russia, assume 50% boys then that's about 1780 per day. If this keeps up Russia will wipe out an entire generation.

Add to that people of fighting age leaving Russia to not get drafted. The men dieing are the potential fathers of the next generation. We also saw what happens to birth rates and migration, when Russia is in an economic crisis. We pretty much know that Russia is heading towards another one right now.
I'd like to know how many of the poor souls on the frontline aren't Russian but Indians, Syrians, etc... that got shanghaied into service.
