you wrote it, we believed it.
they actually losing percentages of the male population then, 700,000 would be 1%?
This has always been Russia main strategy since WW2, pure attrition and meat grinding to the last Russian men
So what? All of them are expendable for Putin. And he will not stop even the number was triple. What a terrible time to be a Russian!
Well, could have been prevented easily – like if Russia didn’t decide to invade
Before people come in claiming it’s bs: the figure is an approximation and includes injured, not just the dead.
The list of killed people who journalists managed to confirmed by name is currently at 121,507, they are adding about 168 names to the list daily, or 1176 per week.
For reference, that is more deaths in 3 and a half years than US suffered in all of its wars since WW2 combined. And that is just the number reported and confirmed by name. I’d say at least the same amount are just left on the battlefield and unknown to anyone.
All that in a three day special operation
And what’s the point? Russians don’t mind, they see these soldiers as mercs who die for money.
A friggin million loves lost for one madman’s ego.
At least they have a nice vacation spot now.
So long as it is not Putin who is not facing the bullet, he care not less how many conscripts, contract soliders, mercenaries, convicts etc. that take the bite and return in body bags (if lucky).
And one troop is how many soldiers ?
Not too far off total US losses in WW2 (407,316 deaths and 671,278 wounded personnel)
Well, you won’t find them here!
3 days guys.. I’m telling you, its gonna be great.. best invasion ever!
Almost as many as the number claimed by acute defenestration disease in the same period
Just another million to go. Putin himself said he would knock it on the head at a 2 million men loss.
Russia must have some serious dirt on other countries as they are showing just how weak they really are and a good invasion could easily wipe out Putin in days.
First thing to note, these numbers are **casualties** (i.e. killed **or wounded**), not fatalities (i.e. killed). Fatalities are always several factors less than casualties (i.e. in the hundreds of thousands, not millions).
Second thing to note, *[we suffer few losses, the enemy’s losses are considerable](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Basic_Principles_of_War_Propaganda#7._We_suffer_few_losses,_the_enemy's_losses_are_considerable)* is the golden rule of official reporting used by all sides in every conflict in history. Thus these numbers need to be taken with a big grain of salt.
Third thing to note, while Russia’s losses are huge, so are Ukraine’s losses, and given that Russia has a far bigger population than Ukraine (about 4x-5x the population), Ukraine’s losses are **relatively** speaking much more damaging.
Fourth thing to note, we **know** from [reliable sources](https://ualosses.org/en/soldiers/) that Ukraine has had *at least* 150,000 killed in the war so far, and [investigations](https://meduza.io/en/feature/2024/02/29/dueling-claims-on-ukrainian-losses) based on open source data put the ratio between Russian and Ukrainian fatalities at 2:1, *at most*. While that is a testimony to Ukrainian tactics, it’s unfortunately still in Russia’s advantage in the long term, **relatively** speaking.
1.068 million mostly Siberian men.
Cut it in half and double it
Hope it’s not worth it
All to spare the life of putin. Our species *sucks*.
This is incredibly sad.
It’s like in the TV show ‘The leftovers’ where 2% of the world population disappears. This time it’s happening for real in Russia. I am extremely sad we as humans decided that this was ok.
All this war has achieved is making Russia a pariah state and killing Putin’s own citizens
Putin could have avoided the war entirely by cutting out the middleman and just killing off his own people by sending his army village to village across Russia, he’d accomplish his goal of reducing Russia’s population and get the pariah state status for free
That’s 1/3 of my country’s population, crazy
Ii grew up in a town so small you’d have to depopulate it 50 times to reach that number.
It beggars belief that so many have died for the ego of a aging asshole
A million people dead, just like that.
We will throw riots for months about a single unjust death, but A million is just a meaningless number to us that we go, oh well to.
Almost 70 million kilos of fertilizer.
