According to British intelligence, more than one million Russian troops have now been killed or injured during the invasion of Ukraine. That's not just a million people dead or wounded, but a million families back home in Russia affected by the war. The World in 10 examines whether that is undermining public opinion of the war, and how that discontent threatens Putin. The World in 10 is the Times' daily podcast dedicated to global security. Expert analysis of war, diplomatic relations and cyber security from The Times' foreign correspondents and military specialists.  Watch more: www.youtube.com/@ListenToTimesRadio  Read more: www.thetimes.com  Picture: Getty Images Hosted on Acast.

  • More than a million Russian troops have now been killed or injured

  • since the start of Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

  • That's according to Ukraine's general staff and corroborated by British military intelligence.

  • One million.

  • It is a remarkable number.

  • But is it?

  • More than that, what impact will it have within Russia and therefore on the war?

  • Our guest today is Emily Ferris, Senior Research Fellow at the Royal United Services Institute.

  • Emily, how do you think this casualty count will land with the Russian population?

  • Does it drive down consent for the war or drive up agitation among the public?
