(#5123) Another 1,140 Russians soldiers died yesterday in Ukraine

      The single largest death count for a 24 hour period so far in Ukraine for Russian soldiers was 1,140 yesterday. The previous high count was 1,030 on February 7th, just 4 days ago. Since the 7th until today the death count for Russian troops in Ukraine is 4,720. Overall the death count of Russian troops in Ukraine is 136,880. That many young Russian lives are now lost because the Kremlin wanted to be greedy and steal land from another country. I don't list the dead from the Russian aggression because Ukraine does not release it's death totals but be assured that the number is if not more at least closing in on 100,000. This does not include the wounded on either side which can easily equal the death count numbers.
     The kremlin is throwing it's troops into a hail of weaponry hoping to exhaust the supply of ammunition that Ukraine has. But the west, NATO and Biden in particular are not going to allow that to happen. Russia is treating it's citizens like property, cannon fodder, and expending them with little regard to their lives. This will continue until either the Russian forces overrun the Ukrainian defenses or more likely their troop levels drop so dramatically that they cannot invade further and will be beaten back to their own borders and beyond. My money is on the Ukrainians. They are savvy, smart, and relentless in their defense of their own country.
     The desperation coming from the current Russian strategy will likely continue and although 1,140 is a really high number for a one day total it likely will be surpassed in the coming days, weeks, or months. Russia is determined to mount another offensive either in a few days or in the spring. If in the spring they will have lost all the momentum they have tried to build these last few days and the losses of manpower will have been for nothing. Which by the way is what is happening now. Ukraine is not going to fold to the Russian aggression so every Russian soul killed going forward is just for nothing at all. The putins of this world and his allies in the kremlin will soon be quaking in their shoes as their performance so far against an inferior nation on paper is being spoiled by the underdog Ukrainians actual better fighting.
