The Ukrainian government does not usually disclose casualty figures, but the soldiers and commanders interviewed in the past week portrayed the battlefield losses as “high” and “massive.” They described large offensives in which columns of Ukrainian tanks and armored vehicles tried to cross open fields only to be pounded mercilessly by Russian artillery and blown up by Russian mines.
One Ukrainian soldier, speaking anonymously because he was not authorized to publicly discuss casualties, said that during a recent assault, “we lost 50 guys in two hours.” In another place, said the soldier, who works closely with different frontline units, “hundreds” of Ukrainian troops were killed or wounded while trying to take a single village, which is still in Russian hands.

It's completely the fault of the Biden regime and its desire get into a proxy and sanction war with Russia, which has been a total failure. That being said, Republicans don't need to share the blame by continuing to support the failed policies.
It is in Russia. How are you going to buy it?
When the game is closed, it looks pretty good.

I also noted that pattern. They don’t seem to post much in the middle of their night.
