Ukraine has reported that more than 1,000 Russian troops were killed on Monday alone as the war between the neighboring countries approaches its first anniversary.
The Ukrainian Defense Ministry said in a Telegram post that 1,030 Russian personnel were killed in fighting, raising the total throughout the conflict to just more than 133,000. Ukrainian forces also destroyed 14 tanks and 28 armored personnel vehicles, officials said. Reuters reported that the number of Russian soldiers killed made Monday the deadliest 24 hours of the war for Russia so far, but it could not independently verify Ukraine’s claims. It also reported that the figures of casualties from the opposition by both sides have been unreliable.
Ukraine has warned that Russia is amassing 500,000 troops on its border to launch an offensive in order to capture new territory. Ukrainian forces started turning back Russia’s invasion throughout the summer and fall and retook thousands of square kilometers of captured territory before the two sides reached a stalemate in the winter.

Baloney.... lol
We shoulda used these Ukrainians to storm Tarawa and Iwo Jima. LOL
These sound like the daily attendance reports we used to file for Chicago Park District beach attendance.
In war all of the Lord’s Top Ten Rules are broken including:
“Thou shalt not bear false witness”.
This one started with coveting your neighbor’s property.
fornicate and find out?
Oh please, Ukraine is on it’s deathbed.
Just 500 more days and they will finish off those 500,000.😂
The Russians are said to be massing for an offensive so it stands to reason they’d also be concentrated together in larger groups.
Are there 1,000 dead Russians? Who knows?
But it stands to reason there are higher than typical casualties corresponding with higher than typical troop concentrations.
While I squarely side with the defenders in this war I do hope the Russian commanders will do more to protect their troops.
I recall circa 1967, according to “body count” reports put out by the Pentagon, we wiped out the entire NV army... twice.
It started with a proxy coup.
War is too serious of an activity to be concerned with rules. The side that gets concerned more about rules than winning...doesn’t.
I guess they got tired of killing all those Russian generals
I want fireworks for my 100 billion. Give me larger numbers please at a faster pace.
The US is not an innocent party in this, nor is the present Ukrainina government.
After the Vietnam War, it was revealed that the Pentagon had been exaggerating the weekly kill counts to make it seem like we were winning.
War isn’t football.
The score doesn’t count, it’s whose flag is flying at the end. In this regard, the American Way of War (abandoning “kill Japs, kill Japs, kill more Japs”) has been a disaster.
“Ukraine claims, U.S. mainstream media parrots unchallenged”
Where’s that “claimed without evidence” line they loved using so much with Donald Trump?
sounds incredible, maybe it’s less than that amount, but it’s always been known that attackers are more exposed
