Oh, but I have been assured^[1] that Ukraine is set to be defeated any day now.

• Russia’s losses amount to 65,000 soldiers dead or injured over the last two months alone

• Russian fatalities in Ukraine in the four years of the full-scale war are five times greater than all Russian and Soviet wars since World War Two combined

• Moscow’s losses in Ukraine are now more than 17 times greater than the Soviet Union’s losses in Afghanistan (1979-1989) and 11 times greater than Russian forces killed in both Chechen wars (1994-1996, 1999-2009)

• In January, Zelenskiy said 50,000 Russian losses per month would be “the optimal level” to ensure Russian losses in Ukraine became unsustainable for Moscow to replace with new recruits
