      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!

      According to Ukraine you mean. They will obviously inflate the number of Russian casualties, while under-reporting their own losses. Though I do believe russian losses must be high, video games have taught me the bad guys always have numerical superiority, and high losses.

    5. 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.

      Not true, it’s closer to 120,000-140,000 I believe, while the rest are wounded or missing.

    8. And what’s the point? Russians don’t mind, they see these soldiers as mercs who die for money.

      And Selensky said in Feb 2025 Ukraine lost 46.000 since the begin of the war.

      Yeah, the Ukrainian numbers are totally trustworthy.

      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).

      Not too far off total US losses in WW2 (407,316 deaths and 671,278 wounded personnel)

      Another fake number. In war you can’t count exact number. You have estimates. But keep going, maybe faking to 3 decimal digits be more believable

    13. That 1 in every 14 ruzzians, killed, missing, or wounded.

      Not that that’s remotely relevant to the Putin cabal running the Kremlin gangster commode

      Still, plenty more misguided, piss-poor criminals in ruzzia waiting for the honour of fertilising a foreign field for a bag of potatoes.

      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/regions/) 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 still in Russia’s advantage in the long term, **relatively** speaking.
