Russia sustained more than 10,000 casualties in a week, according to statistics from Ukraine’s military, with the fast-approaching winter season unlikely to bring a lull in high numbers of fighters killed and injured in the grinding conflict.

Moscow has suffered a total of 690,720 casualties since February 2022, Ukraine’s General Staff said on Monday. This includes 1,680 fighters being killed or injured in the past 24 hours, according to Kyiv.

This figure also brings Moscow’s total casualties, per Kyiv’s count, to 10,490 in the previous seven days.

    It’s mind boggling how many times the world came together in the past for total nuclear disarmament and every single time when we almost reached an agreement Russia backed out because they thought it’s all a ruse against them. The are the epitome of the “No, it’s the others that must be wrong.” Meme.

      And in a way they were right. Putin used and is continuing using the threat of the nuclear penis to keep the west away from his murderous affairs. Even when it became obvious that all the myths of his powerful army are bullshit, the west still doesn’t do anything substantial to stop the madman, because of the nuclear threat.
