More than 2K is quite steady. Hmm.

    One would think the Russians would be very unhappy about this, but it doesn't seem like a big deal politically in Russia!?
    At this pace Russia will pass 60k eliminated personnel with a wide margin in just 1 month.

    PS: I have seen more complaints from people being called in. Jake Broe has shown a few the past month, and it seems people in Russia are generally getting more unhappy about the war.

    In 4.75years Russia has wasted what amounts to 2 full years of new born boys. That is definitely going to leave mark in the Russian demographics.

    Let's assume that the soldiers getting killed have been born in a 10year period, that means a pool of approx 8x10^6^. 1,6x10^6^ killed is 20% of all boys in that window. That's a lot of grieving families and a lot of young women without a mate.

    How long can Putin keep it up? At some point the population must have had enough.
