I am having very difficult time understanding how the war is unfolding in Ukraine (and I can read both Ukrainian and Russian). Russian media appears to be into conspiracies – Ukrainian Nazis, US bio labs and all kinds of other non-credible bullshit. They are also forced to call this invasion a special military operation and consequently don’t report Ukrainian military casualties as this would undermine that narrative. Ukrainian media obviously does not report its own side’s military casualties, only Russian military casualties. Fantastically, I read reports of Ukrainians killing Russian Major General Vitaly Gerasimov, member of the command staff. Even accounting for exaggeration, it appears that Russian Army is suffering very substantial losses. I have to assume that Ukrainians are suffering similarly high, if not higher, casualties.
