In the 22nd century, some academic is going to write a Sleepwalkers-style history book about the peculiar social and political circumstances that led to supposedly sensible national and international bodies carrying out bizarre rituals such as holding peace conferences that one of the two warring parties was barred from.

"Western data" on Russian casualties. https://t.me/DDGeopolitics/109382 quote:🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦 According to the BBC and Mediazona (a news outlet funded by the West and recognized as a "foreign agent" in Russia), the number of Russian casualties is now the lowest since the start of the Special Military Operation, with volunteer contract soldiers constituting the majority of the casualties.

Admittedly, the Mediazona stuff is probably closer to reality (I wouldn't say spot on there is still a lot of ify subsets of data), but even then it has shown that Russian deaths have been dramatically declining for 6 months. It is becoming less and less dramatic to admit the Ukrainians have been taking probably at least 5-6 times the KIA/WIA than the Russians. That said, there is a good question of why you see so few T-64s nowadays, the Ukrainians had 700+ in service and 1,000 of them in reserve, where the hell did they go? Where did the rest of their equipment go, and everything they got including old Warsaw pact equipment and then all that Western stuff? It is a massive amount of material.

It's funny that they have to reconcile the human waves thing with volunteers and not "unwilling conscripts", but then just ran the same story anyway.

This is the first time he's claimed a Russian assassination attempt since like March 2022. euphronius posted:Lol I doubt it’s Russia trying to kill him I actually think it'd be pretty funny if some Banderites just tried to kill him and Zelensky legitimately mistook them for Russians. I doubt it though he's probably lying and there was no attempt made

The prisoner data in particular seemed bogus, especially since Wagner stopped using them fairly early on and they aren't in the regular Russian military. Otherwise, I am assume volunteers are going to be used as front line infantry while the pre-war professionals are probably in reserve or doing support work.

there was a lot of speculation that Ukraine might try for a big PR win on Putin's inauguration day (trying to blow up the Crimean Bridge) but I haven't seen any news that's picked up any traction yet so maybe they are saving the big PR operation for the victory day anniversary on the 9th.. Ukraine's most hated Soviet holiday of them all for reasons that probably don't warrant being looked in to. I would hate to think that Ukraine is losing their touch, I know that they will do something or other to gratify their believers.
