    New study shows that probably 50K russians soldiers have died in the Ukraine war.

      I had read that, but it doesn't begin to touch the not immediately fatal casualties. How many actually died is not nearly as consequential as those who can no longer fight.

        Expanding Mik's comment: Conventional wisdom is that for every one fatality, at least two more are injured beyond the point where they can return to combat. So total casualties are in excess of 150K.

        The question is what about Ukrainian casualties?

        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                    "A Russian general in charge of forces fighting in southern Ukraine has been relieved of his duties after speaking out about problems faced by his troops, a move that reflected new fissures in the military command following a brief rebellion by mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin."

                                          @George-K

                                          What happened was another terrorist attack by the Kyiv regime, which had no logic from a military point of view," Putin said.

                                          Probably the one of, if not the most strategic of targets in the whole theatre. It needs to be taken out or somehow denied to the Russians. Plenty of military logic in striking it,

                                          @Jolly

                                          That problem has been a known known for sometime now. Perhaps since 24 February 2022
