If they are counting half the losses, then dead amounts to 150,000.
What a blessed little war for these United States.
“Jump in Russia’s losses: what is known about Russian soldiers killed in Ukraine by mid-October”
“Based on open data, the BBC, together with the publication Mediazona* and a team of volunteers, was able to establish the names of 74,014 Russian soldiers who died during the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Over the past three weeks, we have once again begun to see a sharp increase in publications about Russians killed in the war. On average, about 1,000 soldiers are confirmed dead each week. This does not mean that they all died in the last seven days: many obituaries date the deaths as early as 2024 or even earlier in the war.
But the rate of loss growth in recent weeks is higher than the weekly averages for 2022 and 2023.
The increase in casualties may be the result of offensive operations by Russian forces in Ukraine’s Donetsk region, such as the assault on Vuhledar, which was captured by early October, and the assault on Pokrovsk, where fighting continues.”

“The actual toll is likely much higher than can be determined through open sources. Military experts we interviewed suggest that our analysis of Russian cemeteries, war memorials, and obituaries may account for between 45% and 65% of the real death toll.
This is partly because the bodies of a significant number of soldiers killed in recent months may still be on the battlefield. Removing them would require additional risks to the health of surviving soldiers who could be hit by drone strikes. In many cases, evacuation is temporarily abandoned.”

Imagine losing 1000 lives every week... about the same as the OCT 7 invasion... every single week... for 2 YEARS.... without making any significant gains at all. He’s just throwing these young lives into the wood chipper, for literally nothing but ego and PR at this point.
