“In the mean time the Ruskies continue to take more and more Uke territory.”
I think the Russians are primarily aiming at smashing the Ukrainian army. When Russians take a city, all they get is rubble and dead soldiers.
What you fail to mention, is that Russians are taking a town reduced to rubble after 7 months of Russian human wave attacks.
Pro-war Russian blogger who revealed huge Avdiivka losses dies by suicide
Andrey Morozov, a prominent pro-war Russian blogger, has reportedly died by suicide following outrage over a post in which he claimed that the Russian army lost 16,000 soldiers during the capture of the eastern Ukrainian city of Avdiivka.
Morozov, who went by the pseudonym Murz on Telegram, was an ultra-nationalist commentator who fought alongside Russian-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine in 2014 and participated in Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022.
On Sunday, Morozov wrote to his 120,000 followers on Telegram that Russia lost 16,000 personnel and 300 pieces of armour during its months-long capture of Avdiivka. The post drew heavy criticism from senior Russian propagandists, who accused the blogger of “slandering the Russian defence ministry”.
