Komsomolskaya Pravda, the pro-Kremlin tabloid, says that according to Russian ministry of defense numbers, 9,861 Russian soldiers died in Ukraine and 16,153 were injured. The last official Russian KIA figure, on March 2, was 498. Fascinating that someone posted the leaked number. pic.twitter.com/LHrBWIQ49z

Obviously, I can’t verify this report. If true, the much vaunted (by western media) Russian military is a bumbling pile of shit. They are not a peer of the United States. They are not even on the same field as the U.S. Putin punches way above his weight by bamboozling gullible western politicians and media.
