I had merely post as #7.

I have no idea what you "take for granted," but there was an assertion without a reference. I inquired after an "official" reference.

You write, "I don’t take anything I hear out of that region or any place else as gospel." I agree. Some people do.
Thank you for your response.
Based on the issue of this being a Russian leadership number,
I’d have to agree with you.
This does not seem to be that, and it’s fair to point it out.
As to whether this person came across a valid discovery,
I honestly don’t know.

That actually should have been a link to post 2 not 7.
My mistake.

Sorry, I mean to link MeganC to the comment above this.
There is one thing in the whole hot mess about which I am certain. Google / YouTube is raking it in with both hands and from all sides, as the "click" battles go on.
I appreciate your interest in an official source. That’s quaint. Myself, if I’m looking for bad news about (Country X) then I don’t expect that (Country X) will be forthcoming about it with a press release backed up by charts and graphs.
I am simply not accustomed to any modern day government being forthcoming about their bad news.
From Selective Service:
Sequence of Events
“Overview of What Would Occur if the United States Returned to a Draft:
1. Draft Authorization: Congress and the President
A national emergency, exceeding the Department of Defense’s capability to recruit and retain its total force strength, requires Congress to amend the Military Selective Service Act to authorize the President to induct personnel into the Armed Forces.”
Recruiting and retainment has been purged and killed by leftist wokeism. Check and check. Next, we only need a simple majority vote by this warmongering Uniparty Congress to authorize the draft TODAY! They don’t want the women, perverts and weirdos their recruiting is currently geared to. They want your normal son, my grandson to fight their wars. The draft gives Uniparty, DC all the young healthy normal innocent American boys they’d ever need to fight all their wars.
Let me just share on how I tend to assess news:
If Russia’s government claims sudden good news in the war I immediately doubt it until it is further validated.
If Ukraine’s government claims sudden good news in the war I immediately doubt it until it is further validated.
If Russia’s government claims sudden BAD news in the war I immediately doubt it until it is further validated.
If Ukraine’s government claims sudden bad news in the war I immediately doubt it until it is further validated.
HOWEVER, when the Russian propagandists concede bad news for Russia it tends to be consistently and mostly true. This much I will give them credit for.
Ukraine allows reporting by foreign media so bad news in the Ukrainian media is usually and promptly verified or debunked by foreign media. Sometimes the Ukrainians overstate their losses.
Yeah, we’ve all had to come up with something close to that.
Thanks for the mention.
Part of my skepticism is that Google /YouTube is profiting both ways and throughout while others lose limbs and lives.
Another part of my skepticism is that our government too is duplicitous, as I am sure you have seen some of the news of Biden continuing to fund the Taliban in Afghanistan. Ach, du lieber!
When the dust clears -- in a month or a year -- we'll know the outcome of the Ukraine/Russia war. Because it will end as all wars do. More or less, and perhaps with the odd exception of the Korea situation.
We probably will disagree in this, but I think Z and P and B are all thugs. In that regard, I should like to see the last of them all. Regards. Keep to your course. It's what we all do.

It’s amazing how delusional idiots we have here, siding the Biden regime, that refuse to face that reality.
I so agree. Not an honorable man among them.
If Robinette’s henchmen hasn’t been able to steal the White House, I don’t think Russia would have gone into Ukraine. There were definitely existing issues, but I think it could have been resolved at the negotiating table without all of these crooks being able to pocket large sums of our money.
Just wait until the US gives Ukraine ICBMs ! ! !
Ukraine’s foreign minister asks U.S. for long-range missiles
You Tube is not my only source of information.
I did not make that assertion.
