Not much #discussion on the real #ukrainian #deaths , but this #article apparently suggests 20k #civilians and 100k #soldiers , which would be much higher than #russian #deaths https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/e.. The #eu training 15k or 30k #soldiers is just not going to cut it. The real problem they have is that #ukraine will at some point run out of #men to #train .
Apparenty the #newyorktimes have #estimated that 200k #russian #soldiers have #died in #ukraine so far: https://www.zerohedge.com/military/nyt-c.. I bet they are still having trouble #recruiting for this insane objective. Even if it's just 100k, it's seriously #demoralising for them. No #western #modern #war has seen such losses.
Very interesting #question raised by the #nytimes about #ukrainian #war #crimes https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/n.. A bunch of #russian #soldiers ordered to face-down and then get #executed doesn't look good at all. #prisonersofwar is a very hot topic and is most definitely to be taken seriously.
#india should be cutting ties with #russia if they want #help . #funding and to play a part in the #global #community https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/w.. By #buying #russian #oil they help #fund #russia against the #west . How do they expect the #west to react?
#india is starting to fall on the wrong side of #russia 's #invasion of #ukraine . It started off with them #buying #russian #oil , claiming they are too #poor to do otherwise. What's their #excuse for #proposing #joint #weapons #production ? https://www.zerohedge.com/energy/india-p.. There is a saying: "you make your bed, and you lay in it". Be careful of the friends you make #india .
I spoke to people who were in these #meetings about the #uk #planned #blackouts during #winter due to a lack of #russian #gas https://www.zerohedge.com/commodities/le.. They are said to be " #wargames ", but these are #planned potential #reality . On top of this, it looks like it will be a really #cold #winter this year.
Interesting, more #russian #jets falling out of the #sky with random #crashes https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/r.. I really #suspect that their #military #situation is not what they would want us to believe.
Interesting, seems like #ukraine are making a move on #kherson , which could turn into an almighty loss of #russian #soldiers https://youtube.com/watch?v=ejEKxfCxbAY #putin has declared #martiallaw in the " #annexed " areas, meaning they are not at all #confident that they can keep them.
This is a great point raised by #craigmurray , #ukrainian #regions #invaded by #russia 's #president #putin were *never* a #russian #majority , not even during the #soviet #era https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/.. It's surprising that #mainstream #news have made zero effort to #rebuke his #claims .
Whether or not the #nordstream #pipeline was #sabotaged or not, the point is that #russian #energy if off the table indefinitely: https://www.zerohedge.com/commodities/da.. It's hard to tell whether this is from #russia or some other group that has an interest is seeing #tensions ruse, perhaps #china or the #us ?
I don't think that #finland having many #russian #refugees is a bad thing at all, it means less to #fight in #ukraine and are a potential #negotiating position: https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/f.. Things are really heating up in #russia for sure.
Oh wow, #poland and the #baltic states are #banning #russian #tourists https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/b.. Pretty strong move!

Would you look at that, #russian #energy #company #gazprom have completely #shutoff #nordstream #shutdown indefinitely due to an " #unexpected #leak ": https://www.zerohedge.com/energy/surpris.. Things are just about as bad as possible for the #eu as they could possibly be without a #war .
