I've come to notice in that part of the world "liquidate" seems to be their equivalent of the American "eliminate". While liquidate sounds to us like something a movie villain would say I think it's more of a neutral word over there.

These numbers have often been confirmed by leaked Russian numbers and NATO sources. It's the Russians who lie about their losses to their own people.

And yes, they were liquidated into Ukranian soil for the purpose of sprouting many beautiful sunflowers.

Don't worry, those parents will get about 20 USD in compensation for their fertilizer contribution. Actually probably not, Putin doesn't pay his debts...

True, a fair few of them probably took direct hits from artillery so "liquefied" would be the correct terminology.

If they'd preferred to remain in the "solid" part of the phase diagram they probably should have stayed on the Russian side of the border.

They're a high estimate I'd take with a grain of salt, but the reality might be closer to Ukraine's claims than you'd expect.

Oryx has 599 'confirmed' tank kills instead of 1048 for example. 1182 to 2519 armoured vehicles, 26 to 159 planes, 39 to 155 helicopters, 880 to 1824 trucks.

Russian casualty estimates meanwhile range from 10k (UK estimate) to 15k (US estimate), to 20k (Russian leak, killed and missing).

If Lavrov making a dumb and bad history call is what sets Israel off, instead of the war itself, it once again reveals what a poo poo country Israel is.

also US estimate was at 15k several weeks ago and we've now had multiple weeks of a renewed offensive where Russia has been taking major losses daily, being above 20 seems reasonable by now.

The Ukrainian numbers are relatively realistic when it comes to ground vehicles, it's their reported aircraft destroyed that've always been extremely ambitious and probably wrong.

Really really good article from one of the experts on modern Russia. It's the story of a Ukrainian family that lived with 5 Russian soldiers for over a month during the early invasion, but it's also the story of how Russians are constricted by their media environment, how that artificially constrained view handles contact with reality, and what needs to be changed in order for Russia to escape it's current destructive cycle.
https://twitter.com/peterpomeranzev/status/1521042157863243776?s=20&t=sXAgTPQAljrIbQD4UNLmlg

quote:

When the Russians would leave the cellar for a drink or a smoke, they would invite Sergey to join them. The group would dilute raw spirits with a little water, and Sergey would roll up tobacco with newspaper pages. Their conversations became more reflective. “What are you doing here?” Sergey would ask. “What’s the point of this war?” Despondently, the Russians would answer that they had come expecting not a fight but a celebration. They had come, one said, “for a victory march in Kyiv.”

The soldiers’ low morale, their cynicism and distrust, is in some ways unsurprising. Putin’s famed propaganda system has always been less about ginning up enthusiasm and more about spreading doubt and uncertainty, proliferating so many versions of “the truth” that people feel lost and turn to an authoritarian leader to guide them through the murkiness. In a domestic political context, these tactics make sense: They keep people passive, unsure of what is truly happening. But they show their limits when you want to move a country toward the rabid enthusiasm required for war.
...
“Russians,” Zelensky explained to us, “are afraid to admit guilt. How do you work with that? They have to learn to accept the truth.” He described three steps necessary for this: changing the information environment; a political elite that admits culpability for aggression; and finally, ordinary people taking on responsibility themselves.

Shedding responsibility is the Kremlin’s great obsession. Russia was given “no choice” but to launch its “special operation” in Ukraine, Putin recently said. It will be the role of culture, media, education, and the courts to change that. But such processes take time. At the end of World War II, most Germans saw themselves not as perpetrators but as victims—of the Nazi leadership and of Allied bombings. Only the war-crimes trials at Nuremberg, which revealed the full horror of the Holocaust, and then decades of cultural and educational interventions, changed that.

It's really funny to watch tankies go from "Russia is a superpower and ruso-sino global order is a preferable alternative to American hegemony" to "Russia never had a chance because America" in about a month.
Also, I think they forget that Putin has been in power for over 20 years at this point. If it's anyone's fault that Russia has run itself into the ground it's his.
