Well, for me, I'm not really bothered about 'quality' of weapons of mass destruction.

The bottom line here in this tale of territorial loss and stretched lines of depleted and demoralised Ukrainian forces is that there's going to be a tipping point soon where lines are broken and a complete collapse occurs - something that will accelerate with a US President intent on bringing the Kyiv regime to the negotiating table.

Zelensky's patriotic duty is to get a ceasefire now rather than tell his forces to fight on to save his neck.

Only if we can video call so we can see said malls in real time.

Seems that these are the fatalities depend on different methods and agencies used: from Al Jazeera in October 2024.

71,000 Russian soldiers have been identified and confirmed to have been killed in Ukraine, according to a late-September report by the independent Russian media outlet Mediazona.

to Ukraine’s General Staff, as of October 1, more than 654,000 Russian personnel have died.


As for Ukrainian troops, the Russian Ministry of Defence estimates that Kyiv has lost almost half a million men, according to a report published last month by the RT news website.

However, according to Western estimates, some 80,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed since February 2022.

In June, Russian President Vladimir Putin told reporters that Ukrainian losses are five times higher than Russia’s, with Kyiv losing at least 50,000 service personnel a month.
