Ukrainian frontline troops near the northeastern front are exhausted after nearly two years of unremitting trench warfare, with the death toll estimated at nearly 70,000 and up to 120,000 wounded. Despite the push for demobilization and rest, the army is struggling to fill its ranks and faces renewed Russian pressure across the eastern front, with older men being mobilized as the patriotic impetus of the early months has waned.
