There's no room in the morgue at Mazyr. It's filled with the bodies of Russian soldiers.

At one hospital in this Belarusian city about 60 kilometers from the border with Ukraine, the hallways and wards are filled with the sounds of soldiers moaning from their battlefield wounds.

At the main train station, Russian soldiers have been recorded on video ferrying stretchers -- apparently holding wounded servicemen -- from a military ambulance to a waiting train operated by Russia's state railway company.

What’s amazing is no Ukrainian soldiers have been killed or wounded, only civilians.

Another one?! A fruit fly has a longer lifespan than a Russian general one stepping foot in the Ukraine.

History has already provided the solution to this. You do what Reagan did after the Soviets invaded Afghanistan. You provide the opposition with weapons for years until the enemy becomes too exhausted to fight anymore. It worked for kicking us out of Afghanistan as well.

“NATO to send air defense systems to Slovakia. Germany and the Netherlands will deliver MIM-104 Patriot PAC-3 air defense systems to Slovakia. Prior, Slovak Defense Minister said that his country would transfer the Soviet-made S-300 air defense systems to Ukraine.”

Of course that is the smart and logical and proven winning strategy. But if you have a mental thinking defect where everything must be all or nothing, then that option is not on the table.

Yup. And that’s also how Moscow wore us down in Vietnam too.

No one has made the claim that no soldiers have been killed. I wouldn’t advertise friendly losses if it were my command either.

“ambulances” ? -— More like hearses, which may be why it is in “ “ marks. If they are carrying wounded soldiers they do not seem to be in a hurry (takes time to organize a 30 bus caravan.

“Although Putin’s war has been an operational debacle, it has also proved to be a strategic catastrophe that has already seen many of the Russian president’s greatest fears become a reality. It has spurred NATO to bolster its presence in Eastern Europe and sparked the interest of previously neutral countries like Finland to join the alliance. Germany overcame its allergy to defense spending and is starting to rethink reliance on Russian energy. Western countries have poured vital military aid into Ukraine, which is closer to European Union membership than it’s been in years. Meanwhile, the Russian economy reels from unprecedented sanctions, with Western corporations, like Russia’s best and brightest, fleeing the country in a massive exodus.”

--- "At one hospital in this Belarusian city about 60 kilometers from the border with Ukraine, the hallways and wards are filled with the sounds of soldiers moaning from their battlefield wounds."

An interesting reveal. Must be a heck of a lot of ambulance traffic and medevac flights to make this so.

Perhaps it is intended as a "story to warm your heart."

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/4048044/posts

But the RFE article says, "The toll among combatants has also proved elusive, with experts saying each side seeks to exaggerate the losses of the enemy and minimize its own."

Any Korean and Viet Nam era stories of medevac flights 60 kilometers (about forty miles) distant? Any 68 Series MOS Freepers here to inform? How about Iraq and Afghanistan medevac flights of that length? Most usually, mobile surgical units are placed near front lines. The distance from Kiev north to Mazyr, as an example, is about 125 miles. To Naroulya is about half that. Perhaps Russian military does not operate mobile units near front lines? But half-hour medevac flights are not the norm, as best I had learned once upon a damn time.
