Who do you believe?

Estimates of Russian soldiers killed in Ukraine range from 149,000 to 430,790, depending on the source and time period.

Estimates

BBC: 149,000–208,700 Russian soldiers killed by mid-January 2025

Ukraine's Ministry of Defence: Over 850,000 Russian dead and wounded as of February 2025

Mediazona: At least 31,481 Russian soldiers died between January 1, 2024, and December 17, 2024

After almost three years of the largest war in Europe since 1945, the precise scale of the death toll in Ukraine depends on who you listen to.

President Trump said last month that one million Russian soldiers and 700,000 Ukrainian troops have been killed. That figure is far higher, however, than any other estimates by either Russia or Ukraine or by western intelligence agencies.

Ukraine has been reluctant to provide casualty figures over fears that they could demoralise society. However, President Zelensky said in December that 43,000 Ukrainian soldiers had died. His comments came after Trump claimed in separate remarks that month that 400,000 Ukrainian soldiers had lost their lives. Up to 30 British citizens have died while fighting for Ukraine, according to reports.

Both sides are lying the tell is that Noth Korea is now sending troops and they lasted less than a month.

Dude, you need to do some research. Lots of good sources out there, if you look. But your uninformed diatribe just makes you look silly.

And here is the crux one guy says uninformed yet who is informing him?

You can bet they are not telling the truth.

Yet this one says he is informed.

Yeah, that's it.

No denying hundreds of thousands of people have died.

The funniest part I am neither for or against Ukraine or Russia.

Ukraine was fucking around with Russians and has found out what happens.

Now it's time for Russia to ease off their point has been made.

Set them side by side I doubt most people could tell them apart certainly not by language.

Who started all this mess why Democrats wanting to get their finger in the Ukrainian cherry pie of course.

They fucked with elections and overthrew the government in Ukraine.

Thanks Democrats have you made enough off the misery of two white Christian nations murdering each other?

Occum does it really matter if it was 200,000 - 400,000 or a million?

a generation of Ukrainians are gone and a fair number of Russians are as well.

Ukraine has 37 million people and Russia has 144 million or so the numbers being tossed around are an actual measurable percentage of both populations.

FAFO might be the acronym of this decade.
