The most casualties for Russia since WWII.

Running an average of more than 10,000 per month (Killed or Wounded).

That number likely includes foreign mercenaries and those drafted in occupied areas like Luhansk and Donetsk.

Weapons and personnel which had been supporting Russia's overseas interests and allies around the world, are now all being sucked into the meatgrinder of the Ukraine war, and destroyed.

U.S. officials believe Russia is facing its toughest fight since World War II.

Which, as I recall, they won.

The US had over 86,000 casualties in Vietnam in 1967. So the Russians aren’t doing that much worse against a much better armed and supplied force.

Foreign Policy=Deep State

It’s not reliable. About as good a source as Pravda.

Need independent confirmation.

In other news, the defence department believes men can give birth and free speech is domestic terrorism.

Crazy. The Soviet Union didn’t take this many casualties in the ‘80s in Afghanistan and they had the twice the population of modern day Russia.

I remember so clear the fantasies, peddled by a rotating fresh faced crop of generals, over and over again lying their tails off about every conceivable matter regarding Afghanistan. Anyone believing one syllable from this lying trash is beyond help. Nothing has changed, just the day of the week and the lie.

The U.S. Defense Department believes that as many as 80,000 Russian troops have been killed or wounded since the Kremlin’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine less than six months ago

One battle in WWII.

If you believe the propaganda god help you . Do you believe all the bs you see on the propaganda tube? I’m assuming you got all your booster shots. Russia might be run by an evil bastard but our country is run by worse.. Putin doesn’t promote hate against white people and families and unborn babies. Maybe your rooting for the wrong side ? I’m pretty sure the American military fought 2 wars for no reason and murdered millions of innocent poor brown people. Russia didn’t .

Zinc, huh?

Must not be a huge need for coffins, otherwise they would be making them out of wood... Or even cardboard.

WHY did CBS DELETE its report that “barely any” U.S. weapons had reached the Ukrainian armed forces, after Kiev complained? I guess they accidently discovered the black market re-sale operation.

The Russians often leave their dead on the battle field. Videos of Ukrainians loading abandoned Russian dead into boxcars.
