"Russia’s military casualties, the [U.S.] officials said, are approaching 300,000. The number includes as many as 120,000 deaths and 170,000 to 180,000 injured troops. The Russian numbers dwarf the Ukrainian figures, which the officials put at close to 70,000 killed and 100,000 to 120,000 wounded."

I watch some daily channels on the battles.

I mainly see Ukr tanks and Ukr soldiers running into minefields, while being bombarded by artillery.
From all wars we know that this produces a huge amount of casualties.
These soldiers are on drugs to keep them high.
That is in the grey zone. They do not even reach the first line of defense, where the bunkers and tanks are.

Ukr is mainly flying around with drones. And a few counter attacks are from himars, which mainly hit civilian targets.
They repeat the thing that they did before the war.
I see a group of Ukr soldiers that hide under a bridge for days. Then they get bombarded.

Sad that Ukr did not agree with the peace treaty in April 2022 that was completely censored from western media.
But Nato does what Nato does.

...or the Minsk agreements.

They did agree to the Minsk agreements... They just blatantly lied about their intentions and used the peace it created to form a new American backed Army.
