Summary

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky revealed that 43,000 Ukrainian soldiers have died and 370,000 have been injured since Russia’s invasion began, marking a rare admission of the conflict’s toll.

He also claimed 198,000 Russian soldiers have been killed, though casualty figures from both sides remain unverified.

The update comes amid heightened fighting, with Russia suffering record monthly casualties in November.

Talks with French President Macron and U.S. Trump focused on a potential peace deal, with Zelensky emphasizing the need for international guarantees to secure lasting peace against Russian aggression.

It's beyond discouraging to think that so many people are dying just because a little sociopath is attempting to compensate.

And it's not like russia is doing any better either. 198k dead. The saddening part is, due to state sponsered news, a LARGE portion of russians SUPPORT the war. Somehow thinking it's Ukraine's fault for existing. They call Ukraine nazis, despite being led by a jew. They use the fact that Ukraine has a large russian speaking populace as justification to reunite. That's LITERALLY a page out of Hitler's playbook.

It just saddens me that so much death and destruction must come just to appease one man, and I use the word lightly, who doesn't even give one shit about his own citizens.

And now Trumps "peace deal" is basically going to be "give russia everything"

Most if not all wars starts with a little sociopath wanting to have more that what he has.
