“So many defeatists on FR these days.”

I don’t feel defeated in the slightest. I don’t want another dime of my bankrupt country’s resources spent on that corrupt regime.

Really?

Congrats on making the stupidest post of the day.

Satellite images appear to show expanding gravesites, reflecting the mounting death toll of the Russia-Ukraine war

Shocking photos show the 'huge cost' of Ukraine war as Russian cemeteries overflowing

Your welcome.

Anything can be photoshopped to prove a point.

I don’t believe Ukraine and I don’t believe Russia...and actually I don’t believe anything the Biden Regime shows us.

BTW, you still haven’t said if you’re going to vote for Trump.

Reality is Russian propaganda.

Keep telling yourself that.

Actually, the stupidest post of the day might be one that indicates that the poster believes everything they read just because it’s on the internet. Read more closely. These are the oldest tricks in the book.

From your first link with Business Insider (LOL) as the source:

Satellite images appear to show expanding gravesites, reflecting the mounting death toll of the Russia-Ukraine war

And from your second questionable source, another British tabloid:

Satellite imagery shows ongoing expansion to accommodate dead soldiers at six military cemeteries.

Ongoing expansion indicates that these graves are being added to already existing cemeteries, not ones that have popped up as the result of the war. We don’t know how large those cemeteries were prior to this war.

I honestly don’t know how many Russians or Ukrainians have died in this fiasco. The numbers are all over the place. Too many, as far as I’m concerned. Far too many.

But you probably shouldn’t refer to someone else post as “the stupidest” and use obvious propaganda to support your insult.

May or may not be legitimate.

The estimates are all over the place:

A recent study by Mediazona and Meduza, two independent Russian media outlets, suggested it was up to 88,000 as of the end of 2023.

They based their numbers on public obituaries and official inheritance records.

That estimate tallies with the British Ministry of Defence, which estimates that up to 70,000 have died.

The US thinks the figure could be as high as 120,000, while Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky last month suggested it was 180,000.

From the link you provided:

Images of just one section of Moscow’s Tula cemetery, for example, show the numbers of graves have roughly quadrupled between October 2021 and April 2023.

So, some of those numbers would obviously not be from the military in Ukraine as the date includes 5 months worth before the invasion took place. So, there may even be 18 additional months of non-military people dying & buried in that cemetery also. But it is still not proof. Compelling perhaps, but most assuredly not proof, because it remains unknown what the source is of the burials other than speculation. The same holds true for the numbers as well. Estimates & guesstimates by admission of the article itself. The estimates could all be higher than the actual number, or lower than the actual number. we just do not know.

In addition we have no number to compare with the Ukrainian side. But reports seem to indicate that Ukraine has paid the larger price.

But one thing we do know is that Russia held a much larger population size than did Ukraine. Russia could afford to the lose the highest estimate given and still have a superior force than Ukraine. So, the Canadian is still mistaken that the Russian losses have impacted Russia's superiority in this conflict. The conflict has taken its toll on Ukraine far more than it has on Russia.

I serious doubt that the Russian soldiers had to resort to shovels either.

In fact, I see the increase in production of the glide rockets, as an indication that Russia is ready to step up the level of raining destruction down upon the citizens of Ukraine, in perhaps a gambit for the US to come clean about what they actual knew about the terrorist attack. If they don't provide it then the Ukrainian civilians will become legitimate targets in response as far as the Russians are concerned, just like the Israelis are currently doing with Hamas. Though the Israelis say they are trying to not target civilians. at best, Russia will try to target infrastructure that will seriously impact life negatively for the citizens in Kyiv. By that I'm speaking about electricity generation facilities.

“”””I serious doubt that the Russian soldiers had to resort to shovels either.””””

A unit was believed to have had to make an attack without artillery support using only their firearms and small weapons and grenades and the combat shovel that Russians use in close combat.

“In late February, reservists described being ordered to assault a Ukrainian position “armed with only ‘firearms and shovels’”

Things are going so well.

https://nypost.com/2024/03/30/world-news/zelensky-ousts-key-staffers-as-ukraines-war-against-russia-continues/

Zelensky ousted two key staffers — his top aide, Serhiy Shefir, along with the nation’s Commissioner for Soldiers’ Rights, Alyona Verbytska, along with four other government workers.

No reasons were offered for their expulsions, The Kyiv Independent reported.

It is interesting to see all of you complain about zeepers, yet you are the ones posting repeatedly, early, often the first 2nd, 3rd….onany daily thread on Ukraine that is remotely positive and yet there are several long running threads that purposely don’t post daily and you all are never there, almost like you are waiting breathlessly, hitting the refresh button looking for a post to bounce on and then complain

Really quite humerous

Simply do some research and you will see satellite pictures of these sites from the past two years and you will see the changes

Don’t ask me to provide links because I have asked before and the response is “I don’t do your research, pissoff “

But it is out there and not hard to find

Which is fine but a claim of a unit making a single attack on a Ukraine position using only their own weapons firearms and grenades without artillery support is a lot less exciting than what we see claimed here.
