Estimates vary, and that’s the ceiling, given by the Ukrainians. The US estimates about half of that, the BBC estimates about a fifth of that. Source: en.wikipedia.org/…/Casualties_of_the_Russo-Ukrain…

Still a staggering number of people whose lives were wasted for Putin’s vanity.

Womble ,

The BBC number cited in that article is for 100k deaths not casualties, which for 4:1 injured to killed ratio would tally with the Ukrainian number.

this will never make it to any hexabear subscriber. they’ll just say fake news and shove their sickles up their ass.

Lost_My_Mind ,

See…this is what confuses me about Lemmy.

When TV was a new concept, there was no internet, so they had TV Guide. It was your guide to knowing what was happening, at what time.

On Lemmy, we need an Instance Guide. To be able to have a wiki that explains what each instance’s personality is.

Hexbear.net & lemmygrad.ml - communist wackos. Block for your own sanity because sometimes you first read the comment before checking who wrote it.

Communism is just a facade for them to cover up their authoritarian propaganda from the Kremlin and CCP.

radivojevic ,

I call them armchair communists. Or, a more insulting term that only a real communist would pick up on, parlor pink.

SeaJ ,

I do love that they all claim to hate Putin and the Russian state but only accept sources that paint it in a good light. The AP is apparently biased to them but substacks and Sputnik News are all legit.

It’s about understanding the bias; if a US news source admits to something that reflects negatively on the US, we can assume it’s at least that bad. Same with a Russian source about Russia.

When an American source runs a story that makes Russia look bad, it’s not very credible. Same with Russian sources on America.

In both cases, the actual narrative the article uses its facts to paint should typically be disregarded; the atomic unit of propaganda being emphasis and all.

How many days did Putin say they would be in Kyiv by again?

It’s only day 882 of 3, Russia will win anytime, silly westoid!

CosmoNova ,

That‘s more than Napoleon lost in Russia in one of history‘s most remarkable military blunders. So the Russians can‘t even look back at that fondly anymore. It‘s truly insane.

radivojevic ,

arguably, Napoleon wasn’t just trying to distract people and empty prisons.

friend_of_satan ,

And for what? Is this at all good for humanity? For the Russian people? Fuck war, fuck Putin.

nevemsenki ,

It’s for conquering Crime a and parts od Ukraine. And as long as they get to keep the land, Putin will be satisfied… and the average russian will trust the propaganda they should be satisfied as well.

radivojevic ,

To distract people from the reality that the ruling class is ramping up their efforts to gain authoritarian control in a significantly large number of countries lately.

SeaJ ,

I mean it is still technically up several million people overall. But then again, over a million people left the country…
