Russian army backed by a powerful defence industry and a robust economy will not hesitate to confront NATO member countries bordering Ukraine
This reeks of propaganda. The world is aware of an estimated 200,000 dead (I was wrong, according to news sources. The number of VERIFIABLE dead is between 50,000-100,000. The estimated total dead Russians in Ukraine is still roughly 200,000.), and at least $100 million in war related imports from China. Both were on the front page of Lemmy in the last week.
Looks like OP is an astroturfer. Check their post history.
The BBC article you’re referring to puts the number of confirmed dead at over 100,000: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-65451487
AP News 50,000: https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-war-military-deaths-facd75c2311ed7be660342698cf6a409
Aljazeera 50,000: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/7/10/new-data-uncovers-50000-russian-deaths-during-the-ukraine-war
Wikipedia 214,000: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Russo-Ukrainian_War
“US intelligence documentation cited the Russian FSB that Russian forces suffered 110,000 casualties by 28 February 2023.”
The Wikipedia article is well sourced. I suggest anyone looking for the truth sift through their 395 citations for the proof. You can downvote all you want. Idgaf about Internet points
Seems like you’re the one spreading propaganda here. The only actual analysis of Russian casualties that I’m aware of was done by BBC in collaboration with Mediazona, and they only managed to come up with soldiers 14,093 killed https://meduza.io/en/news/2023/02/13/mediazona-and-bbc-news-russian-publish-further-figures-on-russia-s-losses-in-ukraine
It’s pretty hilarious how you think that just because something was on a front page of Lemmy last week automatically means it’s factual.
Now the front page of Lemmygrad, maybe.
