“more trains full of dead Russians from Belarus back to mother Russia
all of this can’t be kept hidden forever from the Russian people”
The way Russia and China have handled casualties is to ship them home separately and to notify the families of the deaths, but over a long period so there aren’t suddenly a lot of funerals. It’s also broken up by locale. Say a village had thirty soldiers die. A few, as geographically separated as possible, will be returned home. Then, a month later, another few, also as geographically separated as possible. In some cases, the widow or parents will only receive a letter but no corpse, being told the remains were destroyed or whatever. That way there aren’t loads of church burials and lots of fresh graves. There’s quite a bit of science in hiding the true numbers.
As for nine thousand killed, I’d be inclined to cut that number by two thirds. Probably, cut it by more. There has already been a lot of lies spread. Believe only half of what you see and none of what you hear.
The Daily Mail is saying 9,000 killed. When I read the article, it appears that Ukraine is claiming 9,000 casualties.
Casualties usually include wounded as well as dead. “Communications” majors score at the bottom of standardized tests. One wonders about the basic literacy of many.
Russia is admitting as of yesterday or the day before 2100 casualties, with 500 dead.
I figure bath sides are lying. My guess is about 5,000 Russian casualties with a thousand or so dead.
