Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

At least 100,000 Ukrainian soldiers died during the war with Russia, and another 400,000 were seriously wounded and can no longer fight

These figures only take into account military losses. The publication studied various sources in order to try to establish the losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which are not officially disclosed.

Recall that Zelensky said in February that 30 thousand Ukrainian soldiers died at the front.

All those reports of troop shortages even after resorting to kidnapping men from the streets. Pretty clear indication losses are very high.

damn, imagine being kidnapped off the street in your late 40s to go get maimed by artillery in a disorganized defense of the Nazi-owned combination KFC Pizza Hut that gave you diarrhea during your lunch break last week.
