By my reckoning simply using the admitted disparities in firepower as a guide, the Ukrainian losses are up to or over ×10 that figure.

So at least a million and probably a lot more.

What a shocking waste of lives and all in an ill conceived attempt to weaken, dismantle and asset strip the "gas station": certainly not to the benefit of Ukraine.

Its remarkable that the supporters of Ukraine believe the opposite to be the case and still like to think they are weakening Russia. The lie has been repeated so often that the truth just can't be admitted: that would after all, likely crash the system and end the war.
