The bodies of Russian soldiers are piling up in Ukraine, as Kremlin conceals true toll of war
CNN ^ | 23-MAR-2022 | Eliza Mackintosh

The first warm, sunny days of spring in the southern Mykolaiv region are ushering in a grim new reality: the smell of the dead.

As the frost melts and ground thaws, the bodies of Russian soldiers strewn across the landscape are becoming a problem.

In his nightly video address on Saturday, Vitaly Kim, the region's governor, called on local residents to help collect the corpses and put them in bags, as temperatures rise to above freezing. "We're not beasts, are we?" he implored residents, who have already lost so many of their own in this war.

In that case you should be well aware that Putin has killed more Orthodox Christians than any kremlin leader since Stalin. That anybody would cheer on this mass murder is truly bizarre.

““According to a senior US defense official, the Armed Force of Ukraine have pushed the Russians back to about 55 km east and northeast of Kyiv.”

It seems clear that the Russian offensive has culminated. Are we seeing the beginnings of a collapse?

“The mobile crematoriums must not be working either.”

The soldiers who operate them may have sold the fuel they require, to buy food (and booze).

My default position is never to trust anything coming out of CNN or any MSM outlet. After the series of false narratives on the COVID pandemic, the 2020 elections, the January 6th Capitol events, and the BLM/Antifa riots, I assume anything they say is a lie. (And if I were to go back before 2020, there are dozens of other disinformation campaigns.)

However, it is possible that the Russian Army is suffering huge losses. Russian and Soviet doctrine has been to throw massive amounts of men irrespective of the cost. It appears that the Russian high command did not expect this level of resistance.

This is so close to the border. I expect a bunch of Russian orcs will spill out of Belarus and prevent a total collapse.

The Ukrainians should post on line photos of all the IDs the Russian soldiers had on them, to remove all doubt.

...to defend your deep state heroes and their crimes, which are mainly in Ukraine.

I think the line you wanted to rhyme is "mainly in the plain" but could you just provide us with a short list of those "crimes"?

That's what happens when you are working in a cubicle farm in St. Petersburg. But you apparently are not seeing what is being reported from Ukraine. Which is also what happens when you are working in a cubicle farm in St. Petersburg.

That is already happening. But you can also just look at the media coverage in Russia of funerals for soldiers KIA in Ukraine.

This sounds like CNN BS to me. If Ukraine was doing so well, why is Zalenskyy pleading with the West for help?

In some places Ukrainians trade Russian bodies for POWs.

Here is an article from an English language publication in Kyiv describing the repatriation of 3 Russian KIA in trade for some POWs.

The New York Times and CNN. They are now credible sources on Planet Speedy.

Keep hope alive...And, see more innocent Ukrainian civilians die.
