Over 30,000 killed in a month. How does Russia sustain this? That’s wiping out a good sized town of people every couple months at that rate. I mean, that’s wiping out the entire town I grew up in. Everyone. In a couple months.
It’s currently unsustainable.
Russian troop losses in January exceeded the number of newly mobilized and contracted soldiers for the second consecutive month, Robert “Magyar” Brovdi, commander of Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces, has said.
That month, Russia recruited or mobilized around 22,000 personnel, while verified Russian losses reached 30,618 troops, Brovdi said, citing data from Ukraine’s Defense Forces drone units. The figures indicate a negative balance of 8,618 personnel for the month
Yeah, that’s the numbers. But I mean the people themselves. Hauled off to a front where their equivalent number and more die every month to the tune of a modest village-worth every month. Are the Russian people so defeated and/or ignorant that they just turn a blind eye and wait for the press gang to take the men in their village?
Pretty much. The soviets have systematically cultivated political apathy and pootler has brought it to the next level. Imagine having access to millions of bodies and nobody cares when you expend a million or two. That’s dictator’s wet dream.
They throw the dead bodies of their sons at the enemy until the enemy can’t breathe anymore. That’s pretty much been the Russian military doctrine for the past 250 years.
People in Moscow don’t care about the peasants.

Not just Russian people, plenty of gloating Europeans about the good life in Moscow
They get mercenaries in poor countries but don’t pay them.
They aren’t mercenaries if they’re not paid. The pont of being a mercenary is you get paid to fight for a country/cause not your own. If you’re not paid, that’s impressment.
They die before they can be paid.
Slavery
Close enough
The answer is in the article itself: “Yet for the first time, Russian troops are being killed or wounded faster than they are being recruited, the Ukrainians claim, a claim backed by western officials.”
So for the past years, it was not a problem to sustain the death toll.
12 minutes too long imo 🇺🇦
I bet their sunflowers are doing well
They must be shin-deep in bodies, considering Russians don’t pick up their own.
Need to get those numbers down to 8minutes
No mercy!
