Read and weep you pathetic Russophile f'k.

https://www.reuters.com/world/us-intelligence-assesses-ukraine-war-has-cost-russia-315000-casualties-source-2023-12-12/

The source said the recently declassified U.S. intelligence report assessed that Russia began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 with 360,000 personnel.

Since then, the report found, 315,000 Russian troops, or about 87% of the total with which it started the war, have been killed or injured, the source said.

Those losses are the reason Russia has loosened recruitment standards for deployment in Ukraine, the source added.

"The scale of losses has forced Russia to take extraordinary measures to sustain its ability to fight. Russia declared a partial mobilization of 300,000 personnel in late 2022, and has relaxed standards to allow recruitment of convicts and older civilians," the assessment said, according to the source.

The Russian army began the war with 3,100 tanks, lost 2,200 of them and has had to "backfill" that force with T62 tanks produced in the 1970s, leaving it only 1,300 tanks on the battlefield, the source quoted the report as saying.
Kyiv treats its losses as a state secret and officials say disclosing the figure could harm its war effort. A New York Times report in August cited U.S. officials as putting the Ukrainian death toll at close to 70,000.

"why did they just pass a law that 18 - SIXTY year olds need to report and fight?"

They're a small country fighting a vastly more populous opponent.

Your contention that Russia is fighting NATO is just more Putin fluffer spank bait. Russia's air defense would be nullified in 48 hours or less and every airfield and missile launch site within striking distance of the border would be destroyed.

Putin himself would not survive. His own people haven't taken him out yet, but they have to be thinking about it.

You're an insult to other morons.

You lie why do you lie? They did not pass a law that states everyone from 18-60 needs to report to fight. The law they passed lowered the draft age from 27 to 25.

You're confusing their martial law that states anyone from 18-60 cannot leave the country unless they have an exemption. They need an economy to function during this war.

Everything you just posted is a lie. Why? What's in it for you comrade?
I guess you're not kidding around and jerking our chains. This is really you! How depressing.

Why do you even live in the USA. Janice believes you do, I certainly don't.

But today, you got triggered and lots of people now know what a nazi pukey sympathizer you really are. I don't think pukey is going to appreciate you blowing your cover so completely. So much for that ruble raise for your propaganda work.

It's good to know that you're a massive maga hypocrite and consummate liar like your orangefatassed hero. A lot of people now won't waste their time with you because you're just a lame fraud.

Imagine all the members on this site that you've lied to for over 15 years.
