  2. I doubt Putin cares. He’d throw every single poor person into this war as long as he got his legacy.

  3. Future History Books: “How did Russia destroyed itself ? Step by step. Slowly, at first. Then suddenly.”

  4. The figure includes both dead and wounded and is part of the total losses of **approximately 785,000 Russian troops since the beginning of the invasion in February 2022.**

    Edit: To put that into perspective

    **Russian Losses in Afghanistan**

    During the Soviet-Afghan War (1979-1989), the Soviet Union suffered:

    Total estimated Soviet casualties: 58,000-90,000 killed and wounded.

  5. Wow. That’s insane. Self-inflicted, no doubt about that. But how is Ukraine able to come up with that casualty number?

  6. Russia has lost about 30 million people to war and war related impacts in the last 100 years and probably spent 750 billion to accomplish this.

    Imagine what they could have built

  7. I never thought he my lifetime I would see a war in Europe with a death toll over a million

  8. Putin doesn’t care. As long as Russia is seizing more Ukrainian territory all is well in his world.

  9. Such a meaningless war, can’t believe most Russians still support this shit

  13. After the war there will finally be real ‘Russian single ladies near me, click here!” 

  14. You see, it is not ‘a highest price to pay’ if Putin (and supporting oligarchs) does not value those lives… then it is no cost at all.

    Besides, looking at the pictores of the so called Russians in the fights, they don’t look ethnically Russians at all.
    They are poor souls from satelite regions, remains from an empire that could survive until now because they equaled the nuclear technology capabilities of the United States and installed the thugs in power in these non-ethnically-Russian satelite republics. These lives are spendable, and Moscow doesn’t have objections to wasting them.

  17. When I visited Russia many years ago there were a lot of Afghan war veterans begging on the streets. Some missing limbs. Old WW2 veterans were selling their medals quite regularly.

    These numbers though are staggering and must be noticeable at this point. Where are all the wounded and returning home soldiers?

  19. The already declining Russian population is going to fall off a cliff…or, in Russian terms, out a third flow window.

  20. Karma is a bitch uh? Invading another country and murdering lots of innocent men, women and children have consequences. You can thank the murderous war criminal Putin for this.

  22. Russian leaders arei screwed. If they take any part of Ukraine they will struggle to keep it under control and safe from guérilla activities. Meanwhile other countries will be licking their lips and waiting for the right moment to engage in a “police action to free Russia”.

  26. Their casualties are already heading towards a million. That’s wild. All those sons and fathers dead or wounded and for what???

  27. PUTIN WILL BE REMEMBERED AS THE STUPID WHO DESTROYED THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE

  28. And number will continue to grow because of stupid soldiers loyalty to even more stupid leader. They brought this upon themselves and no one will shed a tears, when they die.

  30. At best a pyrrhic victory for the Russians

    They fucked everything up for nothing

  31. Breaking down 421,000 casualties across a year:
    – Per day: approximately 1,153 soldiers
    – Per week: approximately 8,096 soldiers
    – Per month: approximately 35,083 soldiers

    To put this scale in perspective:

    1. It’s roughly equivalent to:
    – The entire population of cities like Miami Beach, Florida or New Orleans, Louisiana
    – The combined capacity of 4-5 large NFL stadiums
    – More than twice the size of the entire US Marine Corps

    2. Military context:
    – This would be more casualties than the US suffered in World War I (116,516)
    – It would exceed US casualties in World War II (405,399)
    – It would be close to the total military personnel of countries like Greece or Poland

    ~AI

  33. Putin should be on that list. The world needs to make an example of Putin and the remaining dictators and oligarchs.
