@TomSeliman99 - He over exaggerates the problems Ukraine is having and downplays the issues Russia is having. They’ve lost more men and equipment than Ukraine.

@marcowulliampopirers2216 - Not worth the effort. He’s just a contrarian. No common sense in trying to change their minds. Especially when its obviously BS with no evidence. His videos are mostly speculative.

@TomSeliman99 - Russia’s recruitment tactic is paying absurd amounts of money, which they dont pay out to dead soldiers. Its how it gets its recruits. And dont forget the drafting of individuals to replace volunteers which they DO send to the front. And dont use their artillery, air, and tank disadvantage as evidence for more losses when they’ve ALWAYS had that disadvantage. They’re a much smaller country. If Ukraine has taken more losses, it wouldn’t be taking Russia so long to advance in just one section of the frontline. Not to mention Ukraine is purely on the defensive. Russia HAS taken more losses.

@yuliabalashova3866 - Nope! Its not paid straight away. There have been CONSISTENT reports of families with fallen soldiers being underpaid or there being delays in payment. Some don’t even get it. The Russian government lists men as MIA to avoid paying and hide losses. The Russian government uses MANY strategies to avoid paying soldiers the combat wage that is promised. 1. They will classify specific roles as “non-combat” to avoid paying the combat wage, despite the soldier dying or being injured on the front. 2. Sometimes, even if they were on the front, the Russian government WILL DISPUTE a family of a fallen or injured soldier, arguing the incident where they died or were injured did not happen during active combat. 3. Payment responsibility may be instead given to military units or local governments, which with Russia being poor, often leads to payments being unable to be given out. 4. Finally, contracts will sometimes be left intentionally vague so that when somebody under that contract dies or is wounded, the government can easily dispute the soldier’s payment saying that these “promises” were never made. It’s also probably why Russia isn’t taking Census (at least for this year). Their losses would easily show in the Census. 600,000 Russian casualties will definitely show in any census report.
