for those trying to parce this language from translation: putin is explaining about how they determine losses. he's specifically talking about ukrainian losses and how those might be determined. he makes an important comment about "sanitary" and "irretrievable" losses. sanitary means injured in some minor way that is fixable. irretrievable means dead or as good as dead - they won't be back on the battlefield. russia has invested greatly in on-field medical in order to reduce the impact of so-called "sanitary" losses. basically, their field medicine is very good. he's explaining in this quote that the ukrainians /appear to have very poor field medicine/. he is determining that because the russians estimate 50k losses (both sanitary and irretrievable) and ukraine is recruiting 30k new soldiers a month, while still seeing a reduction in fighting force. that means that at least 3/5th of their losses are irretrievable. in russia's case he is saying that 1/5 of their losses are irretrievable, the rest are "sanitary." this is because of their competent field medicine operation. the larger context was about how many troops ukraine has and needs, and why they are losing so many - putin is making the point that they are suffering a much higher percentage of losses than might be expected because their field medicine is garbage.
