Mossad reports about losses on both sides.

Ukraine cannot afford to concede anything in eastern Ukraine. Just as the Ukrainian gouvernment couldn't give 2 f*cks about Russian speaking populace in the east, Russians won't hold back anything against the western part. They'll just bomb western Ukraine to the ground without occupying anything.

While some are enjoying another amazing Russian victory:

I seen that source posted a few weeks back but imo losses are much too lopsided to be accurate at least in my opinion. There have been a lot of Wagner losses over last ~2 months in Bakhmut. Heard a number of over 4k since December.

Think that 18k number is probably of official soldiers while true number is masked by heavy use of Wagner that aren’t being tallied

Also accurate, wagner losses are/were astronomical.

Russians burn dead soldiers’ bodies to hide losses

where are the NATO numbers coming from? i find that hard to believe

surely there are foreigners running around there with a NATO country passport, but not official combatants of a western military

there is a reason countries use mercenaries and/or private security companies, you cant lose guys like stated there and not report it officially

How do you think Mossad gets info? They don't stand everywhere where a someone dies then record the casualty. Probably, Russians designate anyone with a foreign passwort as mercenary or nato soldier. Mossad gets their info from their agents on both sides. Russian casualties should be much higher than on the list. They probably don't include wagner casualties.

Its taken Russia 1 year and 100k casualties to take a bombed out shell of a town with little military value.

Maybe don't plan victory parade just yet comrade.

Media reporting Blinken met with Lavrov about 3 talking points. Can almost guarantee Lavrov ROFLd. Blinken goes back to the Clinton era and allegedly asserted endless US support to Ukraine. Meanwhile, polling shows US appetite to support Ukraine has been slipping month over month.

I read that yesterday as well. to my mind - US Government/political Policy to support Ukraine forever has not changed. Some american people are questioning the support. I think that some indi? news online news channel? "TLDR" interviewed Mitch McConnell (the Republican guy) and he outlined that the cost being expended towards Ukraine was a drop in the Ocean. More interviews like that, and aired on prime time TV in american, would be very good PR for the US Government. Its a bit silly not to repeatedly emphasis that the amount of supporting being provided is tiny (from a US standpoint, obviously for Ukraine, its alot).

I am not making comment on my own views of Mitch McConnell or whether the US should continue funding Ukraine. I am merely highlighting that there was an interview, it was good PR and if I were in charge of PR I would want more video's like it.
