100,000 Russians killed or wounded in war; US won't push Ukraine into peace talks, top official says: Live updates

[toomuchtime_]

As many as 40,000 Ukrainian civilians and “well over” 100,000 Russian soldiers have been killed or wounded since Moscow's invasion less than nine months ago, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff says.

The estimate from Army Gen. Mark Milley came shortly before the Russian Defense Ministry announced Thursday that its troops had begun withdrawing from Kherson, the crucial Ukrainian port city and only regional capital Russia had seized in the conflict.

Milley, who estimated Ukraine's casualties also run into the six figures, said Russia had amassed up to 30,000 troops in Kherson. A full retreat, he said, could take several weeks.

“The initial indicators are they are in fact doing it," Milley said at The Economic Club of New York. "I believe they’re doing it in order to preserve their force, to reestablish defensive lines south of the (Dnieper) river, but that remains to be seen.”

In nine months the AFU has destroyed well over 100,000 Russian troops and the AFU is stronger now than it has ever been and the Russian army is weaker than it has ever been, so the next 100,000 Russian soldiers should be destroyed in much less than nine months.

You don't even notice how you are being manipulated here. Russians straightforwardly lost but Ukies are just in their mere six figures. The smallest six digit figure, so you know, is 100000. You may count digits yourself and see I'm not messing with you. Even if we forgot for a moment that Russian losses come straight out of Milley's ass and assumed he's right you'd see that 100000 is more or less equal to 100000 but according to you Hohols are winning of course. How is that?

Both sides are suffering very high casualties, but the AFU is advancing and the Russian army is retreating; that's why it is clear Ukraine is winning.

Nobody would have been killed if the friggin Russians had not invaded.

We'll just wait and see, from the ruins of Reichstag as it were, Zelensky and his cronies being hanged by their metaphorical balls to the noise of the cheering crowd. Until then you may stay in the bubble of your delusions.

As far as I know there were no American combat regiments stationed in the Ukraine that were threatening the Russians. I think the Florida NG had a few artillery advisors but that was about it.

The goddamn Russkies invaded the Ukraine and they are solely responsible for their losses.

If you are going to invade another country you need a really good reason. The Russkies did not have a good reason other than the paranoid and mental illness of this Putin sonofabitch.

The facts are the facts, and everyone, including commenters on Russian TV are talking about happens if Russia loses, and the civilized world is clearly resolved to support Ukraine until Russia does lose.
