What a meat grinder these past few days. I hope the hero's are staying safe and have smaller numbers of casualties on their side.

Does that say Russia has lost 300k people?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Almost. Another few weeks or so at this rate.

@Mudface @BombOmOm No, it means almost 300k russian murderers have been stopped killing.
But Russia is sending more....

I am pretty sure it's 300k of (killed + wounded) tho

That is just Ukraine kia of Russia troops, that doesn't even count the wounded, killed in accidents, or the ones that Russia has killed. That number must be crazy high. In general you are looking a 1 kia for 3 wounded but some believe it's higher in the Russian army because they don't care about the lives of their troops.

Looking at the numbers the past few days, it seems like Ukraine is switching to focusing on armor and personnel instead of artillery.

Not quite the Ukrainians changing focus. Russia launched a big assault on Avdiivka.

A lot of that is equipment that russia sent into the meat grinder.
