  1. From the article:
    > We have identified the names of 70,112 Russian soldiers killed in Ukraine, but the actual number is believed to be considerably higher. Some families do not share details of their relatives’ deaths publicly – and our analysis does not include names we were unable to check, or the deaths of militia in Russian-occupied Donetsk and Luhansk in eastern Ukraine.

    70k *identified* dead.

    Blood for the Blood God. Those Russians are such dumb individuals. Like 100 years before. Blind to see that they are permanently in a chokehold.

  3. real statistic is – 649,170 russian casualties, which means 300,000 dead russian soldiers minimum

    BBC keep reposting low numbers from russians

    70k – numbers from russians: “BBC Russian and the independent website Mediazona (russian)”

  4. Add a 0 to the number and it will still not be enough for the slaves to raise up against their overlord

  5. The number of wounded is vastly higher, and the proportion of wounded who succumb to their wounds is huge in the Russian Army right now.

  6. Among all these disputed figures, I wonder… how many people would have longer happier lives from today if Putin would just fuck off? And how many would ‘still’ be alive and well had he never been given power in the first instance 🤔

    Really begs the question how is he still alive and well? Are those around him ignorant?

    Old news. Ukrainian telegram channels listed 71k dead with names and photos from open source. BBC “analysed” – means some journalist found someone’s work.

    But this work is amateur. It is not done by professionals, but by some guy from his bedroom after work.
