    The have casualties in the tens of thounds per month

    It’s been a joke for years now that if Ukrainian kill counts were accurate, they’d have decimated the entire Russian army multiple times by now. Russian media has made similar claims of Ukrainian armed forces.

    Both national media are doing the Vietnam Kill Count rhetoric to say they’re winning a fully Pyrrich War.

      Jep, except according to their own recruitment claims (which are naturally also off), they either have casualties in the 10s per month, or much more troops in Ukraine than anyone can cofirm.
