Estimates.

This is coolbert:

From the Internet web site "Blazing Cat Fur" and thanks to same.

Russian casualties the Ukraine Conflict possibly quite high. As many as 25,000 killed-in-action to this date? Estimated as best can be estimated. Not including wounded, prisoners, missing-in-action. Etc.

DO NOT THINK THE UKRAINIAN HOWEVER UNSCATHED. FAR FROM IT.

"Ukraine Is In Worse Shape Than You Think"

"… Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense is not releasing combat casualty numbers to maintain morale, but experts believe it has lost at least 25,000 troops — up to 11,000 deaths and 18,000 wounded —since the February 24 invasion. Over two and a half months into the war, Ukraine’s losses are at least 10% of their now undoubtedly exhausted army of under 250,000. This is, however, many, many fewer than Russia’s casualties, believed to be over 35,000, and buttressed by an astonishing loss of weapons and equipment, such as tanks and warships."

So a war of attrition is what this is? The Ukraine Conflict? Not what anyone expected? Two to three days, Two to three weeks, Two to three months. Etc. Then back to stalemated trench warfare as it has been in the Ukraine for the last seven years?
