| − | '''Update on casualties for 2025:''' The numbers [[Trump]] gives are totally off base. For most of 2025, if Ukraine holds it casualties to 600 per day, that is a good day. Russian casualties up to August - if they ''exceeded'' 23 casualties per day, that was a bad day. Many days were even in single digits. Yes, there were days when Russian casualties exceeded 100. Since August however, if casualties exceed 112, that's a big offensive day. On the Ukrainian side since August, it's not uncommon to lose 1,400 to 2,000 daily. If casualties are under 1,000, that's a good day. | + | '''Update on casualties for 2025:''' The numbers [[Trump]] gives are totally off base.

What people survive just after 3 weeks after being kidnapped and bussed off to the [[meatgrinder]] insures a steady decline in quality. | + | [[TCC]] kidnappings off the street are not supplying half the monthly losses.
