    I won’t comment on the number but for sure, Russia is trying to make less civil casualties that’s why they take more risk than in Afghanistan and likely to loose more solider.

    I don’t support Afghan invasion but as an adult with a bit of knowledge inf geopolitics, this hypothesis makes unfortunately “sense”. This is war, this is the world as it is. :/

        Probably mediocre or impossible goal. Artillery is not an exact science.

        Did you hear about asymmetrical war? Guerilla? when civil are used as shield? It does not mean defender, here ukrainians, are necessary nasty bastards by using such strategy, this is just fucking 101 war strategy.

        But for sure, I would not choose to fight for this dip shit of music hall Zelensky.

          Yes, but the Ukrainian forces have not been doing that so far.

            oh yeah, pretty sure the nuts from the Azov regiment won’t use such techniques and never killed anyone in Ukraine.
