Sixth day above 2000 personnel losses.

    I haven't been keeping tabs but that's insane. Do we know if Russia is ramping up the meat waves or if Ukraine is the one pushing?

    IDK, but my guess is that Russia is trying to increase pressure on Ukraine. Russia has been mobilizing a lot with people forced into the military lately. No sign up bonuses and wages a month delayed and family to lost soldiers only get peanuts a fraction of what they used to.

    So my guess is this is indeed the infamous meat waves. But Ukraine is pushing too, but they are generally pushing on soft spots. But maybe it's both?

    It's sad that so many must die for Putin's hubris, not that I feel too terrible for them.

    Everything regarding Russia is sad, if they had reformed like most of eastern Europe, they could have been the biggest economy in Europe, and have strong influence through cooperation.
    Instead they and Putin chose an authoritarian regime, destruction and corruption, and now they are destroying themselves.
