Russia is truly a paper tiger, it’s almost insane to believe that before 2022 people thought that the Russian military was the second strongest in the world.
According Donald tusk ukranian casualty are 27000 / month. It is attrition.
If those numbers are accurate the net gain is only around 90 square km for the year. That really puts the scale of the fighting into perspective. The casualty number is still a wartime claim though, so I would be careful treating that part as confirmed.
So 3,000 russian soldiers lost for each square kilometer of land gained.
That’s World War 1 level of squandering manpower. While I’m 100% sure that both sides are embellishing the numbers in their own favor, even a third of those casualties would be tremendous for essentially no gain
WWI in the 2020s was not on my bingo card.
Man, people are so angry because I value my life more than this shitty country, while they’re just sitting on their asses somewhere safe. You guys are seriously brainwashed. Your childish fantasies have nothing to do with the horrific reality of people being dragged by force into a meat grinder
