    I feel sick that media in the west has all but forgotten to cover Russias invasion of Ukraine. It all shifts away as soon as something else that grabs headlines comes along. It’s disgusting.

      Yeah. It’s doubly frustrating that support for Ukraine is coming under questions by some dumb politicians who have less patience than a five year old kid.

      The west cannot allow the Russia to win the waiting game when we have so much more stamina.

    When will we get side by side comparison with Ukrainian losses? These figures mean nothing without context.

      There are no similar numbers from Russia, and even if there were, they would very likely be so heavily manipulated for propaganda purposes that they wouldn’t be worth anything as an information source.

      Of course Ukraine also makes propaganda, but it seems they at least base it mostly on the truth. Where Russian propaganda is clearly based on pathological lying.

      I haven’t found equipment losses but personnel wise Ukraine has suffered 190k casualties on the highest estimate for military losses.
