Debatable. They are certainly not the best. But if they do a good mix and in the proper positions, they will learn or die. Im sure putin prefers +100.000 recruits, some for cannon fodder, some that woud learn, thst have nothing
Sure, the problem is that Russia needs to drill them at the front as there are few good instructors left in Russia that aren't in the fight. Ukraine on the other hand can send their soldiers to western countries for training and therefore doesn't have this problem.
100% .
The CNN piece by I posted a page back interviewing the Russian soldier who escaped the war says a lot about Russian morale.
Soldiers sleep outside and are having to scavenge for food. No wonder the Russian war results are so dismal.
If the reports of KIA are anywhere close to real numbers, there are not so many left in Ukraine who were there in February.
But how do you know all that information with that degree of confidence?
If someone showed us the last 6 months is that know one knows much about the numbers of casualties (man and machines) and even less on the remsining forces. Lots of propaganda and speculation and also mostly about KIA from russia but not from ukraine (smaller population) that sure someone put then there, but not a mediatic bombardment. And its normal, is a a media warfare also and only negative things from the enemy is being pushed as only negative things rom ukraine is pushed in russia media, even if they are even lies.
The truth is that we know little
Last time i think i read close to 2 milion
Not sure I agree. I think various groups of people know a lot, and the rest are feeding off their scraps. It's more a case of finding those who know the truth AND tell the truth, rather than assume everyone is guessing. I do accept that first hurdle (finding the truthful ITKers) is perhaps impossible.
Amnesty to condemn Ukraine any second now…
For endangering civilians…Clearly if not for those Ukrainian soldiers the town would still be intact.
Which civilians? It's a ghost town.
Like any other obliterated frontline village/town by Russian artillery, the contested places are being level to the ground by Russian fascist forces but Amnesty thinks Ukrainian positions are what’s endangering civilians.
Yeah yeah we get it.
That's not what the report you're referring to said at all, what's the point in making stuff up weeks after the fact?
What did report say? I’m just exposing Amnesty for being paid Russian shills.
Unfortunately, a lot of people think they’re being clever when they try to look for two sides in this story.
You know what it said, because people in here spent pages upon pages whining about it. It was about some instances, fighting out of places like populated shools and hospitals, not general defenses of cities and towns. For instance, they found no evidence of Ukrainian soldiers endangering civilians during the defense of Kharkiv, so why would they find evidence in a ghost town like Pisky? You're just making stuff up.
You realize Amnesty have heavily criticized and reported on the Russians, right?
While there's something to be said about how Amnesty approached the release of that one particular report, they are not "paid Russian shills".
Russia is using artillery WW2 style, the level of destruction is simply tragic.
Yeah, sure.
Believe me…I have been living in a county under a strong influence of Russian propaganda from all sorts for a very long time…I can tell one when I see one. Unsurprisingly, people living near Russia always end up being the most accurate about Russian tactics and motives.

Glorious nation of Kazakhstan!
But seriously, it's interesting that Kazakhstan feels comfortable doing this. I guess they know Russia doesn't have the forces to attack it anytime soon?
That is quite fast for Kazakhstan to switch sides... remember just weeks before the war started there was public unrest and Russian troops where needed to keep the president in his office.
Between 900k and 1.6M if the sources are correct (is difficult that they are, based on past informations about this war)

Shoigu sidelined and Putin has taken the charge himself, the history didn’t teach them anything.
Considering they call an all-out war a "special operation", what does a Minister for Emergency Situations do?
Shoigu getting side-lined, eh? What happened to Gerasimov?
Make better use of the army when they face natural disasters at home. Right now, that's about the better way to use their army and regain lost popularity points.
Actually in charge of catering.
Seems that the war has turned into an almost total stalemate, with very little movement from either side? Just old fashioned untargeted artillery from the Russians and a few headline Ukrainian moves workout too much immediate impact in terms of the front line?
How do they consistently nullify the artillery disadvantage without an airforce to speak of?

Finally looked up what the hell this #NAFO thing is all about. Turns out memes are an effective way of tackling Russian propaganda, in an online world that alternatively really struggles with it.
