In a sign that things are not going well for Russia's assault on the Ukrainian town of Avdiivka, near Donetsk, a volunteer posted a tweet on X calling for body bag donations.

    Since they’re running out of body bags, I think it’s safe to assume that the amount killed is higher then would be expected, perhaps because they can’t/won’t evacuate the wounded, or don’t have proper medical care?

      Exactly. Add to this the Ruscist traditional meat wave tactics of offensive, which of course leads to huge amount being killed.

      A lot of that is just due to the sheer numbers of wounded coming into hospitals in the area. These human wave tactics leave a lot of people with serious injuries, and if they can’t get their injuries tended to in a suitable time frame, they’re just going to die waiting for care. So a lot of the ones who are evacuated in a timely fashion will still die waiting to see a doctor / medic because there are just so fucking many wounded to treat.
