It would be interesting to know the basis on which the Professor makes his claim that the Russians have incurred casualties of 700,000. Also, how has it been revealed to him that the Russians are employing 'meat-grinder' tactics?
If we are to learn the truth of what is happening in Ukraine - just as importantly, why it is happening - it is clear that we need to consult sources outside the MSM; as they have shown themselves to be unreliable throughout the conflict.
Amid the competing range of biases, very little can be established with any certainty. However, the one statistic that seems to be agreed across the board is that the Russian artillery firing rate has, for most of the period of engagement, been very much in their favour to the tune of something like 8 to 1. Given that the vast majority of casualties in this form of fighting, results from the use of artillery, it follows that for every Russian casualty, there must be around eight Ukrainians. If the Professor's estimation of Russian casualties is taken as accurate, then the Ukrainians must have suffered horrendously, losing over five million troops. This figure is surely too high but how else is one to interpret the Professor's figures?
