...Russian human rights activist Elena Vasilieva reported on her website that over 382 Russian soldiers died in Ukraine between January 16 and 19, which corroborates reports that Russian soldiers were, in fact, in Ukrainian territory.

“[I] came back from the war zone. It is impossible to call it an ATO [anti-terrorist operation] zone – it is a real merciless war there,” she wrote. “I’m already afraid to write these numbers. The Russian army has huge losses over the past three days. 382 people – selected Special Forces, marines, paratroopers. Up to 500 injured. More likely the number of wounded is much higher. But we have no access to the full information about the injured from the Russian side.”

When I see the usual suspects saying the same about the Official Ukraine State Propaganda posts, like the one posted from “UM” just 45 minutes ago, then I might believe you are not a hypocrites.

Here’s hoping that the Ruskies are rendered combat ineffective in short order.

Thought this was interesting...

The LPR now has an “Air Force”.
They are restoring several old planes that were at the Air Museum at the old Luhansk airport, and took the first one out for taxi testing a few days ago.

An 1970’s L-29 Two-seat trainer.
