Russia mainly lost convicts.
Ukraine lost a large percentage of its finest soldiers.
I watch a lot of videos of Moscow and St. Petersburg, it’s as if there’s no war going on judging from those cities. Life is pretty much normal there.
Not unlike this country during, say, The Gulf War. The soldiers go to war, the country goes to the mall.
I agree with you.. Now, allegedly, Russia is ‘inviting’ Cubans to join the fray with payment being citizenship in Russia. Sounds like they sent deadbeats to the battle without concern about losing them.
