Russian men are being fed into a meat grinder, and the state is trying to soften the horror with compensation payments. When a government can turn dead soldiers into a financial package, that is not patriotism, it is exploitation.

That's part of Ukraine's strategy of documenting their kills. Russia will try to withhold benefits families of fallen soldiers by listing them as MIA instead of KIA. By publicly naming them as killed Russia is forced to payout benefits. Plus, it makes it harder to Russia to deny casualties.

They are. There are entire organizations like Platsdarm (which has operated since the Crimean invasion) dedicated to identifying dead Ukrainian soldiers and repatriating Russian corpses under a repatriation agreement.
You’re absolutely correct that doing it remotely via drone footage makes it impossible, but the bodies don’t disappear. The people (mostly civilians) left alive have to deal with them because they’re a huge biohazard, not to mention the psychological impact of having bodies littering the countryside.
Most identifications don’t happen overnight. They take weeks or months as territory is gained or lost. The biggest problem isn’t drones but land mines, preventing the volunteers from entering the former combat zone, and artillery, which destroy both the tags and any other means of identification.

None of it does. Every single source on the Ukraine war is coming from Ukrainian propaganda farms. Once Zelensky's buddies stole a bunch of money from the country, and (at least) one of them fled the country, the news has all been "Everything is great, and we're doing amazing without the US helping us at all."

ReddFro6 days ago

No results? Your own argument is based on something that hasn’t happened in this war.
You mostly have good and bad outcomes in war. I suppose a standoff w/o fighting is “no result”, but that hasn’t happened here. When things look bad for Ukraine, some support them, when things look good for Ukraine some may stop funding while others fund more. Either way, sharing good intel keeps those donors informed to reinforce trust.
That claims are verifiable doesn’t support why they’re telling the truth either. Its verifiable because Ukraine allows information to come out through embedded international journalists, local stories, etc. Russia doesn’t. Their allowing of information flow is again to go with their goal and narrative, work with EU, be supported in this war, etc.
Not trying to bash Ukraine here. They’ve done a great job not just on the battlefield, but in navigating all these other challenges. Part of that though is providing their own narratives.

It's not about what has happened or not. Your argument was hypothesising what would've happened if they were to lie about the results. But your argument doesn't stand because the opposite is also true. My statement is logical, not factual. What happens in the war is irrelevant:
The reported results will always be high, because the alternative would mean admitting waste of human lives, even the most honest regimes would not do that for a number of reasons.
This is why we see both sides of this or any war really reporting only good results and focusing on accomplishments.

HappyAmbition7065 days ago

It's not clear what the drone strike results really are though. I just watched a Ukrainian video of a drone strike against a Russian soldier in a mostly destroyed house, followed by a second one, followed by him con ng out running and going down a stairs to apparently a basement. The third drone hit the staircase and might have got him, but if he made it to the bottom and could step to the side through the door he could be ok.
If there's a subsequent surveillance drone that sees a body then it's confirmed but the strike drone videos can be misleading.
Either way, it must be total hell over there.

Russians will never ever rise up against their overlords. They had 4 years to do so, and there has never been a mutiny against the war.
The only mutiny of note was the PMC Wagner’s march toward Moscow. It wasn’t because of Russia’s losses and pointless war, but rather due to Russia not going all in. It was a mutiny due to fighting too little.

As ru population centers around two very big towns (moscow & petersburg) were drafting is less prevalent the statistics tends to shift impact from urban to rural areas, means 3.5% is just average without incorporating density impact.
That is not 146 (already exaggerated from 142) million, but 36million vadniks is the real number.

From what i've heard it also has downsides, mainly a lack of target ownership (different units coordinating to focus on different depths/target types), and an over-prioritization of e.g. assault grunts at the detriment of other objectives.

The last time the Ukrainian leader gave a figure for battlefield deaths, in early 2025, he said 46,000 Ukrainian troops had been killed.
<...>
Zelenskyy's figure is much lower than independent estimates. In January, The Center for Strategic and International Studies, a U.S. think tank, estimated that up to 140,000 Ukrainian troops had been killed through the whole year of 2025.

It's the lowest estimation for a single year (of four years) by a single unaffiliated source.

No they can't, else they would've. They tried killing Zelensky at the start of the war and have tried assassinating him throughout.

The EU using a nuke on Russia. If it comes to that, Russia is an existential threat to the EU.

Doesn't take any big percentage when the number is about 20,000. And "doubt" is an unacceptable risk when it comes to maybe getting nuclear bombed.

Taiwan would seek their nukes, making an invasion unlikely, Russia's relationship with China would deteriorate.
If the US fully controls Iran, the supply of oil to China is threatened, and China could limit or cut the supply of Rare Earth Element manufactured goods, and look to make sure that the US can't find alternative sources. So nuking Iran has adverse consequences that make it an unlikely option.

Those russians volunteered to go kill Ukrainians for money. I wish it wasn’t the case but I’ll take their deaths over my friends and family any day.

It doesn't matter what you celebrate or not as long as the Kremlin celebrates any victory as little as it is regardless of how many Russians die.

It'd be one thing if to was late 2021 or early 2022 and you had guys coming out of training right as the invasion was kicking off but at this point anyone volunteering for the Russian Army is doing so knowing that they're going to Ukraine.

And how many volunteer and how many are sent to war against their will?

Russia only sends volunteers across the border. That fact was the cornerstone of the Ukrainian Kursk offensive last year: to put conscripts in bags so their mothers will cry to Putin to end the war. Basically the same strategy as the "Viet Cong" after the organization was effectively destroyed by the Tet Offensive (quotes because post-Tet the VC turned from a grassroots insurgency to North Vietnamese regulars sneaking across the border.)
Mind, Russia is doing everything it can to generate more volunteers, including offering shortened prison sentences and ludicrous cash bonuses to attract men who have no other choice.

>Russia only sends volunteers across the border
Well that's just not true. At least not according to everything I've heard since the war started. I don't know the actual numbers but they have conscripts too. Those people are there whether they like it or not. I have no sympathy whatsoever for any Russian who volunteers to fight in that war but I definitely have it for Russians who are forced to against their will. Those are the victims as much as the Ukrainians.

They're using conscripts for security in Russia proper and to do POG jobs. That's part of the reason Russia formerly annexed Donbass and Lukhansk, so they could legally (per Russian law) send conscripts there to pull security.

OK, read up on it a bit just now and apparently OFFICIALLY they're not supposed to be sent to Ukraine. Officially, because there have been cases where this happened - this is public knowledge. And who knows how many more cases there have been that isn't public knowledge.
That does make me feel a little better (than at the very least no so many Russians are sent to slaughter against their will). That said, Russia keeps recruiting "volunteers" in such ridiculous ways (people who are piss poor or prisoners or others who basically have no good choice in life) that calling them actual volunteers isn't quite right.

Oh, I completely agree that the Russian government is exploiting the shit out of their most vulnerable groups of people. They do really heavy recruiting drives in the parts of Russia that are practically third world. Places where the bonus, which might be about a year's pay for someone in Volgagrad or some other smaller metropolis, is enough money to set the family up for years.
Of course, it also has to be said that pretty much every volunteer-fed military uses similar tactics to recruit, though perhaps not quite as extreme.

all these dislikes show that there is no humanity. we find pleasure in others' deaths if they happen to be born on the different side of the border.

They took money to go kill Ukrainians. I don't find pleasure in their death, but I don't pity them either.

Better not raid what is in mind. Redbsdit have agenda if pro that it is fine. Still only good vibes bs so is this only good vibes.. Agenda tops everything. Double moral bs. Covid in media you leaned how much you can trust media. All "news" from this party after years again you learned how much you can trust media. Zero or better yet flip it what they say and you are closer to real world. But some people don't handle real world good.. Only good vibes all live in harmony. Everything is good everything is fine god bless our leaders and chosen people.
