The Russian losses are incredibly high this week.
Another 1700 may die tomorrow, but that is a risk Putin is willing to take.
@randahl I was noticing that, I think it came from the reinforcements sent to contain the ukr counter offensive that got eliminated on entering theater before deployment.
Really hoping this turns into another route.
@peribotsarah @randahl Agreed. If the Russians want casualties, the Ukrainians will chew them up for them. 🤦🏻 Maybe just … go back to Russia.
@WTL @randahl Absolutely! It looks like Ukr is keeping defense-like ratios even when they took the offense.
@randahl what is the source of this?

@douwe @randahl

It's the official reports from the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

@randahl Putin has sent over a million people to die? Am I reading that right ?
@TerryDay die or get wounded enough to leave the battlefield, i.e. "fall"
