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?
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.

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