Ukrainian colonel reported Russian military deaths, listing high-ranking losses He claimed more than 160 Russian generals and colonels have died in Ukraine Comes as Ukraine's armed forces said 87,900 Russian troops have been killed

A Telegram channel operated by Colonel Anatoly 'Stirlitz' Stefan of the Ukrainian armed forces has collected reports of Russian military deaths and compiled a list of some of Putin's most prominent losses.

Stirlitz claims the warmongering Russian president has lost ten generals and a total of 152 colonels and lieutenant colonels since his tanks trundled into Ukrainian territory on February 24.

Wiped out are 204 majors, 294 captains, 496 senior lieutenants, 258 lieutenants and 86 other officers whose rank could not be verified.

This comes as new figures released today by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine claimed 87,900 Russian servicemen have been killed in the conflict, while a Pentagon estimate earlier this month said 100,000-plus Russian military personnel had been killed or wounded.

Many generals and colonels are unwilling to decentralise command - symptomatic of the Russian regime as a whole - and therefore have been more vulnerable to attack as they marshal their troops themselves near the frontlines.

Russian Telegram channel General SVR today claimed the total 'irretrievable military and operational losses of manpower' in Putin's regular forces stands at 90,138.

The death toll of operators from private military companies like Wagner Group, which has recruited tens of thousands of prisoners freed to fight from Russian jails, was put at 26,917.

The Russian national guard meanwhile has lost 5,521 men, according to the outlet.

Critics accuse Putin of using the lower ranks as 'cannon fodder'

wow, that's awful, 90,000 killed in just 9 months ... injured must be about 300,000 (going by the 3:1 rule-of-thumb)

so much misery in so many families

and for what, exactly?

I will give the Russian officers credit for leading in battle.

And then I will recommend that they train their men better so they don’t need generals in direct command of squads and platoons.

Apparently, the Russians have less Generals, soldiers, tanks, planes, artllery and ammo than they started with.

"SVR General, an anonymous Telegram channel claiming to be operated by a Kremlin insider..."

Russian Telegram channel General SVR also claims that the Easter Bunny has recaptured the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant in a lightning strike by his egg-laying bunny battalion.

[kiryandil]

Zero Ukrainian casualties, of course - except that Ukie Tank Girl scraped her arm on the turret of her tank while directing the slaughter of yet another division of RuZZian T-90 tanks...

Check out the woman in the Wilma Flintstone dress posing with a Russian officer.

Someone smarter than me needs to post it.

Maybe we could send him some of our generals.

Victorian British used to wish for “a sickly season or a bloody war”.

“Instead of meeting genuinely bereaved and angry parents and family members of the dead, [Putin] instead held a meeting with a group of female officials and loyalists posing as military mothers.

Olga Tsukanova, 46, who leads a Council of Mothers and Wives calling for an end to Russian mobilisation, taunted Putin: ‘Are you a man or what?

‘Are you going to keep hiding from us?’ asked Tsukanova, whose 20-year-old son was lost after being mobilised and sent to the frontlines.

Russia will this week enforce new laws which act to gag war critics, including family members of the dead.

In a new statement the Council of Mothers and Wives said: ‘How can people be prevented from telling the truth about the needless deaths of thousands of recruits that are taking place?”

Your Wilma Flintstone....  But she is good looking and clean. Is he Barney Rubble?

[kiryandil]

LOL!

The Western Media has created its own version of Dubya's Code Pink mom - Olga "Cindy Sheehan" Tsukanova...

[Stevenfo]

I don’t believe these stories anymore. I think they are made up or exaggerated to keep the money flowing.

[kiryandil]

Out of whole cloth.

Whatever the real number is, Putin is just listening to his inner Stalin. Stalin killed many, if not all of his top brass to maintain the terror. Lovely, just lovely.
