The only real jokes here are anything that originates with the Russian government.
Wikipedia simply compiles data from multiple sources, including the US, UK, UN, EU, BBC, Ukraine & others.
They all more-or-less agree and the only serious outliers are numbers originating with Russian government propaganda.
But what sane person would ever believe those?
kiryandil: "I Wonder why the Russians had 6,000 dead Ukie bodies from Kursk?"
Only in the fantasies of Russian propaganda are there 6,000 Ukrainian bodies from Kursk.
In reality:
They're not, all reports to the contrary notwithstanding.
In fact, Ukraine's armed forces, active and reserves, total nearly 2 million men (~5% women).
Of those, around 300,000 serve on the frontlines against Russia.
So Ukraine's real issue is not "finding enough men" -- they've already got plenty.
Ukraine's real issue is devising systems for when, how & where to train & rotate its troops in & out the front lines.
Ideally, each of Ukraine's ~2 million men should rotate through the front lines as needed, even given a long list of reasons making that difficult.
Point is: Ukraine is not "running out of men", though it does need to manage its available troops most effectively.
Thanks for your joke post, JoeK.
