The update by the Ministry of Defence added that the heavy losses would likely continue as Russia looked to make gains across the front lines in Ukraine.

“The average daily Russian casualties (killed and wounded) in Ukraine, throughout May and June 2024, increased to conflict highs of 1,262 and 1,163 respectively,” the MoD wrote.

Believable? How does a bunch of dead young military men help our interests?

The people must still support the war. No protesting?

More than two years of idiotic propaganda. If even a fraction was true, Russia would be depopulated and collapsed and Kiev long nuked.

What, you are suggesting that Yahoo “news” might not be trustworthy?

GREAT POINT - If the war wasn’t going the way Russia wants it to go, Kiev would have have been ‘glassified’ long ago, as that is Russian military doctrine, at this point.

Yahoo is not news! They simply republish from wherever. They are an aggregator and what they publish reflects their bias but is no sense credible because they publish it.

As I’ve said from the beginning, I believe in nothing from any of sides involved, and there are several. In war, the first casualty is the truth.

On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, I read news reports that the Ukraine is on the ropes and won’t last much longer. On Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday I read reports that Russia has suffered crippling losses and can’t last much longer. This has been going on for more than two years.

What will the Russians have left to fight the Chicoms? The equipment can’t be replaced that easy. Could they be running out?

As for the dying they lost 20 million in WW2 supposedly. They seem to stick it out as they’re used to it.

It's not the least bit believable.

It's propaganda that would have made Baghdad Bob blush.

Russia has an overwhelming advantage in missiles and ammo fired. Ukraine's losses are at least five times as much as Russia's. And, not even Ukraine has lost 350,000 in two months.

Absolutely NOT believable. You can watch the entire war live from your living room. The drone footage is there. Look for yourself at the dreadful toll Ukrainian drones are taking on Russian armor (four men per tank and 8 or 10 per APC). You will also see these small kamakaze drones everywhere killing one or two or three Russians at a time. That’s all the Ukes have and it is VERY effective in limiting the concentration of Russian forces and the numbers of casualties. The Ukes aren’t killing Russians, other than civilians, in any other way. The numbers don’t add up. Watch for yourself. No Uke FABs, artillery, effective missiles, or effective armor, only drones.

I agree. And I'm pro-Ukraine.

Anyway, I read that the Russian economy is doing well because they're on a war footing now. If they end the war today, their economy will go into a depression once they're no longer making military goods.

Immediate denial from FR resident Pro-Russian trolls - Russian troops cannot be killed in meat waves which never happens. Or at all really - contrary to popular propaganda, the Soviet Russian troops that began the SMO are all still alive, well fed, trained, armed with the latest Soviet Russian secret weapons and are killing the hohos in droves.

One way to tell if it is true is to check whether there has been a big drop in people signing contracts to fight.

If a huge number of people were dying, word would get back to their regions and people would stop signing these contracts.
