Even if this is a propaganda number and the true number is only half or one-third of 28,000 that’s still a huge number compared to the size of Ukraine.
The Democrats don’t care how many Ukrainians die to cover up Democrat crimes in Ukraine.
And nary a word about diplomacy, negotiation, or peace from "The West" or particularly from the Biden regime.
Of course the Russians have never lied before!
at this rate, they will run out of people.
28,000 dead? How many more wounded but not dead? 5 to one ratio on a modern battlefield?
If these numbers are appropriately discounted for propaganda issues, these are still huge and unsustainable numbers. (I say “numbers,” but each one represents a living breathing man who had family and dreams.)
28,000 is probably total casualties KIA, WIA, MIA and captured. My guess is total dead is 20% or around 6,000 KIA.
There are going to be a lot more “Ukrainian women would like to meet US men” ads.
If the report is coming from the Russians, it must be true.
With all of those Russian claims of dead Ukes, the Ukes have nobody left to do battle, and in fact, may have gone into negative numbers in the number of dead. Russia has won, since they still have a few military personnel left after losing millions in battle. Next for the Russians: Poland and Finland. Easy pickings.
First those numbers are preposterous and second even if true Russia would run out of military equipment long before Ukraine did and second here is a little historical context. In 1914 France had a population of 39.5 million almost the same as Ukrainians pre-war population of just over 40 million. France suffered 1.1 million combat deaths, and hundreds of thousands dead from disease and still won the war long after Russia was forced to throw in the towel. Russian logistics, combat trading, thinking and political stability have not improved any in the last 100 years. Wars are won based on industrial and technological capabilities not population differentials. Russia and Ukrain are both second world countries but Ukrain is backed by NATO and the EU thus ensuring it will never be outgunned or out etched. Russia on the other hand is friendless unless you think Iran is a reliable ally in which case God help you.
And Russian losses are still under 10k? I believe that like I believe 5,000 Covid deaths in China.
Propaganda is the use of extremes.
The big guy gets his cut so who cares how many people die.
Hoho soldiers need to turn their weapons on whoever/whatever is sending them into the meat grinder. If they can’t figure that out, I can’t feel sorry for them.
I believe the figure was dead and injured, quoted by Shoigu.
And we are another day closer to the day the US Deep Swamp abandons Ukraine.
