Загальні бойові втрати противника з 24.02.22 по 07.01.25 (орієнтовно)

У зв'язку з постійним надходженням уточнених розвідувальних даних, виникла потреба коригування деяких позицій загальних втрат противника - крилаті ракети. Загальна цифра скоригована, а втрати за добу подаються у звичайному режимі.

Translated using Firefox:

Due to the constant receipt of the updated intelligence, there was a need to adjust some of the positions of the enemy's total losses - cruise missiles. The total figure is adjusted, and losses per day are given as usual.

I feel like I only now comment if another 100,000 mark has been reached. I wonder after a million would I comment only every 500,000?

It is insane how many lives have been horrifically altered by this useless war, how many more must die because of an old scared man wanting to have a legacy of being a conquerer

I think that Putin realizes (and has for quite some time now) that if he were to end the war without a total Russian victory that it would be akin to signing his own death warrant. No amount of dead Russians will affect him, as he has no conscience to speak of. Unless Russia achieves total victory, he won't quit, and so more and more people will be fed into the meat grinder. He will beg, borrow, and steal whatever he can to push back his inevitable fate as long as possible.

I unfortunately think a little less pessimistic, I think he knows he cannot lose or withdraw, that will be his death warrant most likely. But if he keeps even the 2014 gains but this time officially recognised by both Russia and the west, even if Ukraine objects, he has won, even losing half that territory or even gaining 1 square meter extra does not matter, his Kremlin can spin it as a win. Might even embolden him to look at other countries, Georgia don't you fucking dare change the status quo.

Ask me, as someone who has personally experienced the communist propaganda machine, Putin will be fine, just the common folk who would pay the price for his vanity
