In the harrowing landscape of war, the human spirit is tested beyond measure. As conflicts rage on, stories emerge that paint a stark picture of the brutality and suffering endured by those caught in the crossfire.
In the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, the horrors of war are vividly captured in moments of desperation and survival. A Ukrainian recon drone captures the sight of a Russian soldier resorting to drinking his own urine on the battlefield, a stark reminder of the extreme conditions faced by those in combat zones. WATCH
Behind the staggering statistics lies the staggering human cost of conflict. With over 460,000 Russian soldiers lost since the beginning of the Ukraine war, each number represents a life cut short, a family torn apart, and a future left unfulfilled.

Lots of mothers losing their son's.
The US lost 58k over more than a decade in Vietnam. Russia has lost nearly ten times that in two years.
Some day the sons of the world will refuse to give their lives for the ambitions of politicians.

AND had the US not supplied all the weapons the death toll would have been 2% of those on both sides and would have been long over and a distant memory but alas the US continues to send more weapons, ammunition and $$ so the death toll will Continue rising on both sides
Is it true that Russia lost 460,000 soldiers in two years?

And Russian forces would now be in complete control of Ukraine and Putin would be eying up his next conquest - Baltic States, Moldova, Poland?
Would you be happy with that?

So Russia concurring Ukraine is cool because it saves lives?
How about this. Had Russia not invaded the death toll would have been zero.
45 countries have given aid to Ukraine, military and humanitarian, including many former Soviet possessed countries.
Funny how Russia happily accepted all of the military aid from lend lease in WW2 when they were invaded..
But when they are the invader it's a problem...
Again.. people dying for politicians aspirations.

Smells like the Ghost of Kiev stories. Sorry, not buying any of the propaganda coming out of this conflict.
