Ukraine claims Russia has lost more troops than US did in World War I
NY Post ^ | 01/17/2023 | Snejana Farberov

Ukraine claimed that Russia has lost close to 117,000 troops since the beginning of the full-scale invasion last February — which is more servicemen than the US lost during World War I.

There have been 116,950 enemy troops “eliminated” since Feb. 24, according to the latest tallies released by Ukraine’s Armed Forces Tuesday, which The Post could not independently verify.

Kyiv reported that in the last 24 hours alone, 870 Russians had been killed in Ukraine.

For comparison, the US lost 116,516 soldiers during World War I, of whom more than 63,000 suffered non-combat deaths mostly related to illnesses.

If Ukraine claimed Russia has lost more troops in this war than during WWII, Marcus Maximus, Dennisaw, Timber Rattler and Speedy from Texas would believe it.

The kill ratio in this war is at least 10-1 in Russia's favor and probably greater.

The Russia forces put out ads for truck drivers.

Must applicants present a valid Mortuary Driver's Certificate, or can one learn "on the job?"

Also: Do the drivers get to keep any "loose change" (incl. wedding rings, gold teeth, etc.) that might "accidentally" fall onto the truck floorboards during transport?

Regards,

Z has killed a million of them with his own high heels.
things must be very very bad for Z-ski given the recent amount of Zeeper propaganda!
things are bad for Z again today.
Wagner has captured the Sil railway station along with adjacent residential area.
Fighting continues at Salt Mine #7.
The Soledar mop up may take a few more days.
.
If the attack on Krasna Gora captures high ground, m-03 road which brings supplies from Slavansk would be within artillery range..bakmut northwest encirclement advancing...
.
Wagner advancing around Klesheevaka..High ground there would bring the supply road from Constantinovka in artillery range..Bakmut southwest encirclement advancing.
.
I wouldn’t want to be in Bakmut.Biden don’t care about the last Ukrainian!

caww still thinks Ukrainian troops are killing Russians on the streets of Moscow.

We must tell him that he must come out from his bunker, and read Russian news at least. Russian news is clearly saying that Russia has invaded Ukraine.

Kazakhstan is on it.
Finland and Sweden, of course.
Switzerland and Austria are new to the list.
Chechnya is on it again.
Moldova.
Georgia.
All of NATO.
Japan.
Etc.

No, not really. It’s just that the Russian army logistics system can’t supply them with enough natural gas for them to keep up with the demand.

Makes you wonder what else the logistics system can’t keep up with.

You should put that in a book and make a movie with it.

Imagination and fantasy go hand-in-hand.

But, if the Marines do go into Russia, there may not be any Russian soldiers to stop them; not after Ukraine has killed them all. The women? They’ve love to kiss and make out with the Marines, in the hope of getting them to take them to a better life in America. How’s that for imagination? Better than yours. ;)

Yeah, if you consider killing innocent men and women and children a favorable outcome for Russia.

How, how 'bout getting us the proof of your numbers and not imaginary ones?

” please use English sources for links. Thanks mate.”

You mean you only rely on sources published in English? No wonder you have such a limited view on the world.

We live in a wonderful time where anyone can read the news in any language.

True. Russia will not be able to take over Ukraine in this fashion.
