General Staff: Russia has lost 466,150 troops in Ukraine since Feb. 24, 2022
This number includes 1,096 casualties Russian forces suffered just over the past day, the General Staff of Ukraine's Armed Forces reported on April 28.
Out of the half a million troops killed I wonder how many were actually Russians? Doesn't look like things are working out for them.
You're viewing a single thread.
Here’s a great illustration of how many people Russia was willing to lose in ww2. I think that mindset is still alive and well today.
It's worth remembering that WW2 was an existential threat to the Soviet Union and most of the people living in it. This war isn't. See how the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan turned out.
And, of course, Ukraine was also part of the Soviet Union. Russians weren't the only ones fighting the Nazis on the Eastern Front
It's there in their leaders, sure.
I don't believe the people see it the same way.
I’m not hearing a lot about the Russian people being against the war.
I have. Did you not see there was an open armed rebellion in Russia? Granted it was the Wagner group but still, the people of Russia certainly didn't stop them or unite against the rebellion.
The Wagner group was an attempt at a coup d'état.
Of course not. They're living in fear of their lives if they critisise the government.
