I noticed that the same sources are very careful never to list any of the Ukrainian losses....that is not a smart move for one who is trying to accrue some form of credibility in reporting. Even if we take their numbers at face value the 190,000 minus 12,000 still leaves 178,000 Russian troops in Ukraine and active at this moment. Give them another 5,000 for captured Russian soldiers and you still have over 170,000 Russian Troops active in the conflict. I think that Putin's generals underestimated the sheer amount of high tech NATO equipment that was waiting for them...a mistake they will no doubt avoid in the future. There is still no valid reason that I can see for Zelensky not to agree to the original terms to avoid the invasion....hell he already has no control over Luhansk, Donbas and Crimea....so those were already gone....split milk.... and promising to stay neutral.... what the hell was wrong with that promise? Probably could have torn it up when Putin kicks. Could it be that such a promise would interfere with the business interests of the likes of Soros, Biden, Romney, Pelosi???? Hmmm.....gotta wonder. So the Ukrainian people were sold out by their own President for western money interests...this is what it is beginning to look like. Hold on to your boot straps....The Taiwan conflict is getting very close and it will follow similar but much more deadly patterns.
