The sources I read daily are in Swedish I had to dig the corresponding English links up, so I will settle for just a few relatively recent ones:

Key points:
- It in many cases takes Russian soldiers 40 hours to reach hospital...
- ...if they get any treatment at all due to capacity constraints (they are quite often sent back with e.g. shrapnel still in body)
- There have been frequent reporting of Russian forces, especially Wagner, executing their own wounded soldiers (or even low-mid officers) to make things easier logistically for them in the short term.
- Deliberate poor survival rates logically follow from the Russian tactics of human wave assaults, in some cases carried out with prison convicts, in other with fresh recruits from ethnic groups Russia doesn't care about.
- Ukrainian combat healthcare has closer to NATO standards (none of the links above support that assertion, but I will let you google if you're interested).
I follow the war on a daily basis since it's a neighboring country to mine. Digging back the links above [of the few hundred I've read since last year] took me about half an hour, so it's as usual unscalable to make an overly informed reply to a single stranger on the Internet. If I could tell GPT-4 to collect all relevant links and summarize them it would be awesome I guess.
