Putin is cleaning Russia of its undesirable population while stealing land from its neighbours. I suspect there are many moscovites that think this is a great thing.
Die in Ukraine or live in Russia.
Not a choice I’d want to have to make. Not that many of them had the choice.
Die in ukraine or go to jail
A lot of them came from there in the first place.
Ukraine reports 10x as many ‘casualties’, which is a different metric. Just interesting to think about.
Lemmy is great because even if you’re not wrong people get mad
Casualties are how most militaries think about losses. A soldier in a hospital is just as bad as a dead soldier from the perspective of force management… Neither can participate in combat or act as a reserve. In fact, a wounded soldier is ofter worse than a dead one during combat because there’s likely 2-3 other soldiers trying to save them.
Anyone wounded in combat is a casualty, so I don’t find that surprising. This comment reads like you’re JAQing off.
Interesting how? It’s a literal 50 tons of dead people. I think it’s more sad than anything.
Russia reports one eighth of this number officially. BBC claims to have verified these people by name, by looking at cemeteries and stuff, so obviously the real count is going to be higher. Also, Ukraine reports casualties of “the invaders” who might be from the Donetsk-Lugansk militias, that is not included here.
Things can be interesting and sad, sorry if it came off wrong
