@t0m0ffel killing the enemy much more important than gaining or losing territory. territory can always be regained. not easy to regain 100,000 dead soldiers

wrong. Bakhmut is in Donbass, the liberation of which is one of the 5 aims on Putin's list

no, its 217,000. both of us can make up numbers and broadcast fiction

@st-ex8506 so, what's your source, specifically, on Russia's losses? Let me guess, Ursula Von der Leyen? (she said 100,000 Ukrainian dead). General Milley (he said 100,000 Ukrainian dead).

@st-ex8506 Fascinated by your confidence in your data. How many of the 17,000 were Chechens? How many were LPR? How many were DPR? Can show share the link so I can see the exact figures, please?

@st-ex8506 1) "trying very hard" and "succeeding in" are 2 very different things! 2) name just ONE of these "open source" intelligence groups...conspicuous by its absence is your refusal so far to do so. 3) Any chance "their"numbers are closer to UAF numbers because their source is UAF info? 4. bringing material from deep storage may have nothing to do with death tolls on the frontline. 5. as a former military intelligence officer, did you question the CIA's assessment that Kabul would not fall for 90 days (it fell after 90 hours) or did you stay silent and accept their absurd nonsense? 6. Glad you don't pretend to know the truth, because you don't. Only a select few in the Kremlin do, so best STFU if you don't know the truth, rather than brag about your 22 years of service. just some advice for you. 7. Shoigu is privy to info you aren't. Speaks volumes you don't know the truth but are so willing to dismiss the numbers of someone who may well know the truth.

@visalakshimahadevan612 could be! no one knows for sure, it will be fascinating to see the totals when the war is over. I just have a feeling the Russian numbers will be quite low and the Ukrainian numbers astronomically high.

@st-ex8506 still waiting for your precise breakdown of the Chechen, LPR numbers etc. and your source. as an ex intelligence officer, what is the reason you would give for NATO's refusal to supply Ukraine with all that Ukraine demands to achieve victory?
1
@st-ex8506 after 22 years of service, you need a lesson in basic comprehension skills. I never said I believe anything Shoigu said. why would I? I said only a fool would dismiss his numbers, given that said fool admitted he doesn't know the truth! Keep an open mind! Looks like you are the one brainwashed. And STILL you refuse to name the source! STRONG smell of bs coming from your direction, sir.
1
@st-ex8506 and you are right. i am incredible. i slice through the bs so quickly and seemingly effortlessly. as soon as someone touts specific numbers, ask for the source, when the answer is the vague "various open sources" press the BS alarm immediately!

@vme1111 when the aim is to massacre as much Ukrainian cannon fodder as possible in the Wagner meatgrinder, and when the kill rate is 8:1 in Russia's favor, safe to say this WILL change the outcome of the war. Ukraine is indeed focused on taking regions at a time. Big mistake, Ukraine should be focused on reducing its horrific death rate if it wants to win. Too much men? How many Russian deaths have you counted in your survey of the numbers?
