The rate of loss. The Western press publishes impressive figures of the victims and wounded in the war with Ukraine Russian military

In five and a half months of war in Ukraine, the aggressor lost half of the army standing on the border of Ukraine on February 23. Western media count the dead and wounded occupiers. When Yevgeny Chubarin, a 24-year-old resident of the Russian Republic of Karelius, announced his mother who was going to go to fight in Ukraine, she begged him to change her decision with tears.

However, the enthusiastic worker of the stone-working plant still signed a three-month contract, passed a four-day training, received AK-47 and went to war. He arrived at the front on May 15, and the next day was killed. In Russia, such stories have a taboo, writes the American newspaper The Washington Post.

Therefore, the pain from the losses that the families of Russian servicemen are buried under the triumphant vessel of the state media, depicting war on both the existential struggle for survival both against the "Nazis" and against NATO. " News about the bloody victims of the war are carefully hidden, and it only emphasizes how much the Kremlin is concerned about the fragility of popular support, the publication notes.

However, in the West, calculations of the loss of the aggressor country are conducted properly. According to the Pentagon's fresh data, from the beginning of a full -scale war against Ukraine, Russia has lost from 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers killed and wounded. This was stated on August 8 by US Deputy Defense Minister for Political Issues of Colin. It is about half of the 150,000th troops, which was collected by the Russian Federation near the borders of Ukraine on the eve of February 24.
