“Ukraine claimed that Russia has lost...more servicemen than the US lost during World War I.”
This is because Russia has effectively been waging World War One. They’re using expensive missiles as artillery against civilian targets and they are literally engaged in trench warfare.
I will not give credit to the Ukrainians for all of the Russian casualties and dead. The Russians are going to lose men to many of the same conditions that killed troops in WW1. Frostbite, cholera, typhoid, and no doubt tuberculosis are killing Russian soldiers every bit as effectively as Ukrainian artillery.
” They’re using expensive missiles as artillery against civilian targets and they are literally engaged in trench warfare.”
It’s going to get much worse for the Russians. They started this war with a lot of Soviet hardware. Now those supplies are starting to run out.
The next plan from Putin is to send 500,000 men marching into Ukraine in hopes that Ukraine will run out of bullets before Russia runs out of men.
