“...Ukraine is getting buried, losing 17000 WIA/KIA in the past week...”
Which Stalinist source did you get that from? It is complete garbage. In reality land, Russia has problems on all fronts and its economy stinks and has a strong downward momentum. The eleven-time-zone country that is supported by Iran and North Korea is being out-fought by the one-time-zone freedom-loving country. The criminal invasion has cost Russia much more than just a few hundred thousand dead and maimed.
Try Russian Def ministry. They report every 24 hours, Frontline minus deep rear area unconfirmed strikes.
Thus they are low balled.
With Biden’s performance on the debate the Ukraine money is going to dry up.
