Not surprisingly, the Ukraine has been downplaying it’s own losses and exaggerating Russian losses. A 3rd party player in the UN or EU tried to confirm/dispute Russian losses by checking funeral notices etc. and couldn’t come up with more than the Russians had already announced. So the facts on the ground do not support ‘why so many Russians’ are getting killed. Consider, the Ukrainians order a pizza and kidnap the pizza guy as a conscript into the army. Things are not what they seem.
But the head of the Ukrainian military said in an interview in The Economist a few months ago that he knows what he needs to win, and he knows he can’t get it because NATO doesn’t have it to give. It’s a known problem that is costing NATO the war of attrition they hoped would deplete Russia first.
But, but they say the Ukrainians are smashing the Russians.
PS: Send more money and equipment.
It’s Ukraine…….NOT “The Ukraine”.
Does anyone say “The Florida”, or “The Egypt” ?
If you’re gonna pose as an expert, get the lingo correct.
On a brighter note, so glad the internet provided a PHD in Q, Covid, Vaccinations, and now apparently Slavic War.
