What's interesting about the Ukrainian admission of "up to" 200 dead a day is how close it is to the Russian estimates. There hasn't been an increase in what the Russians have been claiming, they've been consistently saying around 300 Ukrainian soldiers for the past 2 months. Until now the claims were 10-100x what the other side was reporting.
In other words mass artillery still wins wars.
The better thing for Zelensky to do is to hold foreign merceneries to their contract and stop them from deserting whenever they feel like it. I'd also remove the requirement to have military experience, turning away young fighting age males at the border was another dumb decision in hindsight.
In fact, I'd launch another recruitment drive. Stop admitting there has been such heavy casualties, just announce the counteroffensive to retake Kherson is in it's final stages, and foreign volunteers are needed to share the glory. No military experience needed.

No sexist comments please.
