Agreed maybe if you include civilians killed and injured by mass artillery by Russians but as I recall Ukraine had in the vicinity of 3-400000 total in military. If these numbers were true there would be next nothing left esp to go on offensive first thing to go is the truth

I have been reading the positive reports from Ukraine for several weeks now, but reading between the lines my old Military instincts tell me a Russian victory is inevitable although the timetable remains a question.

Total was about 600k counting everything. https://news.yahoo.com/better-trained-better-equipped-know-193749574.html

Bear in mind that that is not a static number. New troops are recruited and sent to the front on a continuous basis. The “losses” include the severely wounded. The number is quite believable, but I hope it is too high. the AFU is being used as cannon fodder.
