A senior Russian official on June 19 inadvertently confirmed the staggering troop losses incurred by Moscow's forces during its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
In an interview with CNN, Russian Ambassador to the U.K. Andrey Kelin was asked about Moscow's maximalist intentions in Ukraine and its ability to recruit enough
Russia it was already a mess before but considering their median age, after a 1mln loss they’re as good as fucked.
Putin doesn’t care about his country, but Russians then?
They don’t care either. The majority, that is, there are some good apples who left the bunch
– Pushkin, “The cart of life”, translated by Yevgeny Bonver
tl;dr it doesn’t really matter the cart keeps on racing until it crashes. And then they Slav it back up and it keeps on racing. Nobody knows who or what the fuck actually holds the reigns. Also that “go on, you ildler, damned” does not give the profanity used in the original credit. Like, not even close. English isn’t capable of it.
