Russia recently took the small city of Avdiivka in eastern Ukraine after nine years of trying, and intensively since last October. To do this, they lost 16,000 dead and at least 30,000 injured in a place that no longer has any people living there. Those numbers align closely with what Ukrainian officials have also said, with more than 17,000 dead and over 30,000 injured. “The losses of Russians around Avdiivka are colossal. My colleagues and I did the calculations and pulled up our archival records from the beginning of the year,” said Dmitry Likhovy, Ukrainian military spokesman.
When Andrey Morozov mentioned the numbers for their horrendous losses he began being attacked on all sides, including by some of the most well-known propagandists on state television. And when that happens it's a sign that your days are numbered in Mother Russia.
