What does open source intelligence say about Ukrainian army casualties or losses? Because that’s something I can’t find any information on, meanwhile max pain Russian losses are broadcast daily across the MSM.


What does it matter what they say about Ukrainian losses (or refusal to do so)?

Any which has at least 200 years history.


Russia: peaceful for 10years only ~1990-2000.
Germany: peaceful for 75years already
France: peaceful since more than 100years
UK: peaceful since 100years at least
Poland: peaceful since 80years at least.
That's the difference im talking about. We, peaceful western people dont care about land conquests, empire building etc.
You want Poland to take western Ukraine, but we dont have any plans about it, we dont want to expand our country.
We want to live our lives: work, have family, entertain, socialise, not some stupid wars, lol.

It matters because it follows a thread of overstating and projecting maximum loses for our enemy, Russia, meanwhile pretending our side the one we support with weapons and money isn’t suffering as much. Like I said outside the actual war there’s a propaganda war raging. Only time MSM sources are even mentioning Ukrainian losses is to highlight dead civilians due to Russian shelling or war crimes.

I'm not denying war crimes or extensive propaganda.

But OSINT at least lays Russia's lies bare.

Poland was long time a poor country under Russian occupation, and there was nothing else in the shops and the borders closed.

this. climate plus long periods of poverty and / or political instability. that said, polish cuisine, while not my personal favourite, is still plenty varied. yes, it has a big focus on salty, fatty, meaty dishes, but i'd assume that's generally pretty appealing to most americans.

the two countries are

Hungary , Bulgaria ? I am not sure i haven't been paying too much attention. Because things are happening in the East as we are talking

While everyone is focused on the Russia and Ukraine war, things are turning slightly hot in the East region.


Hungary and Slovakia. Slovakia is a relatively small country, without seaport access, needs to rely on other countries for transport, also needs time to adjust to another blend of oil.
Hungary is a complicated thing, they are in EU but like Putin too and want to keep trading with him.
Anyway this is not a big problem as these 2 countries make only like 1-2% EU oil usage each, Putin wont feed too much on them, especially if they at least limit their imports.

Germany, UK, France, Poland -> Afghanistan (Operation Endured Freedom)- 34000 civillians dead:
Same peaceful countries trying to socialise and entertain-> Iraq (Operation Iraqi Freedom) - 655000 civillians dead.
