There are photos and videos being posted. Twitter takes them down quickly.

800? No way unless they are counting getting muddy as a wound.

Who comments on own losses until the conflict ended? There was debunkment of some Ukrainian claims though, including claims of the Ukrainian own losses which were a lie to boost patriotic sentiments.

I dunno.

No doubt there could be a variety of reasons for such, but was simply noticing a trend in claims over the last couple days of such and such emanating largely from one side.

Fog of War, no way to tell what the actual casualties are at this point or if we’ll ever know the truth.

Wouldn’t surprise me if Ukrainians were fighting like devildogs to defend their country. A whole world of motivation difference between that and some low paid Russion conscript.

I just witnessed a fleeing car in Kyiv purposely cut off by a Russian T-72 battle tank which completely crushed the car on the spot and killed its driver cellphoned by Ukrainian women in their apartment crying in blood curdling shrieks… I hope people are really proud to hear of supporting Russia or giving moral support to these cruel demons No better than the red Chinese in Tienanmen Square

Putin didn’t take out the phones. He’s trying to use Psywar to win because his army isn’t good/big enough to do it.

The 2,800 casualties is just estimated based on the number of armored vehicles destroyed. What is clear form the totality of reports is that the Ukrainians are doing better than expected, and the Russians are doing worse.

Interesting. I’ve seen a lot of Russians posting their psywar videos on Chinese Tik tok. Birds of a feather flock together.

Putin’s 1905.

That pretty much was the beginning of the end for Nicky.

Estimates. How do you verify the veracity of every claim sitting on your couch, using social media? Unreliable at best.

KGB Vlad is heavily using Chinese Tik tok in his information war. This is definitely a development to keep an eye on.

I'm not supporting anyone. But I will say that with the corruption I have seen in Ukraine, they may be better off under Russian rule. As for human rights, It seems that Russia has a better track record in recent years then we do.

Then why are they not being shown on Fox, Newsmax, OAN, or dare say the MSM.
