Holy crap! 500 people lost in 24 hours! Fuck Putin.

Russia has been losing an average of 500 a day. Russian strategy during their winter offensive was to send masses of mobilized to their deaths to 'soak' up Ukrainian fire (as if they're sponges and not human lives) and then send experienced soldiers/ Wagner's mercs afterwards. Most of mobilised are minorities from the poorer regions so the Moscow/St.Petersburg urban crowd don't get impacted much and continue to support Putin.

Ethnic cleansing via enemy fire is a psycopath level of outsourcing.

And that isn't even a high number, more like "average". There have been days where it's been 1000+. Truly baffling how the Russians are seemingly fine with this.

Let me correct that a little bit. I did some Googling and it looks like it's from the last time the report was made. One of them is from a time in February to a time a July. So I'm not sure what the time frame is. Sorry about that. Here's the one I was taking about losses in Ukraine

There's one of these reports/overviews every day.

One of them is from a time in February to a time a July. So I'm not sure what the time frame is.

Follow one of the Ukraine MoD social channels to see the daily posts. It's a sightly different format, figures are the same.

Thank you for that. Sorry for my confusion.
