Russian losses in the eight-month-old Ukraine War could be wildly higher than anything Moscow will admit to — or anything I dared report might be possible. “Irrevocable losses,” Russian-language news site iStories claims, “may amount to more than 90 thousand people.” That’s according to iStories’ inside sources, reportedly “a former officer of the Russian special services, the second is an active FSB officer.” iStories was founded in neighboring Latvia two years ago by Russian journalists in response to the Kremlin’s growing crackdown on independent news. An irrecoverable loss, as detailed by the report, is a soldier “who died, went missing,...

More than 90,000 troops make up Russia’s “irrecoverable” military losses in Ukraine, as reported by the Russian media project iStories (or Vazhnye Istorii).

During the hearing, attorney Thomas Renz, representing three Defense Department officials, said the actual data showed, among other findings, a 300% increase in miscarriages, a 300% increase in cancer, and a whopping 1,000% increase in neurological disease in U.S. military. Mr. Renz, of Renz Law, also claims to have leaked DoD documents which show far more. Documents indicate that 60% of the hospitalized are vaccinated and as Delta Variant surged to over 50% in June, Covid-19 hospitalizations more than doubled, reversing the prior trend of decreasing...
