The numbers look like they have been reversed. No one will know the true numbers for along time.

[MinorityRepublican]

It can be anywhere from 50k killed up to 500k. I've heard estimates up to 750k dead but that seems a little high to me. During WWI, the Russian Army revolted after tremendous casualties.

But we haven't seen Putin's army break yet.

Me, I would go with whatever numbers broadcast by the forever war globalist MI-6 organ the BBC.

I love the smell of bullsh## in the morning

It smells like… victory

[Timber Rattler]

It's just being propped up by North Korean troops.

[Sacajaweau]

And like 10 million have left Ukraine...

[SoConPubbie]

I wouldn’t believe a word out of this lying Globalist’s mouth!

I expect that the real number is many multiples of 43,000.

[CatHerd]

Sadly, it is. :(

4.6 dead Russians for every Ukrainian.

I’ve heard estimates up to 750k dead
—
that’s 750,000 casualties, not dead.

[throwthebumsout]

... and how many civilians?

[Who is John Galt?]

.

About 51,000 Ukrainians Have Deserted Armed Forces This Year

Ukraine needs 500,000 more troops amid slowing mobilization

.

[struggle]

More like 10x that

LOL!

I suspect their census data will reveal Ukraine has lost several million in population. Probably a million fled the country and the other million killed, wounded or died of other causes (accidents, illness, old age)

I recall reading (no, I don’t have chapter and verse) that Ukraine has lost more than a generation of their people because of the war, mostly men.

We will know nothing about Ukraine and the overall situation until Tulsi assumes control of intel and institutes “pics or it didn’t happen” via satellite recon — rejecting all Ukraine, British, French or any info that is not from recon.

Presume all information pre Tulsi to be worthless.

But look at how many people that have investments in the military industrial complex have gotten richer off taxpayer dollars.
