A short extract from BBCThe cost of the Ukraine war for one Russian regiment
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-65179074
The estimated INITIAL regiment of Russian elite 331st Guards Parachute
Regiment, often called the Kostroma Airborne Regiment, was estimated
at about 1750 before the invasion.
Come March 2023, TWO words describe the present numbers.
TOTALLY DECIMATEDEach time casualty replacements - including the conscripts shown on TV in November - are brought in to replace losses, the original cadre of soldiers gets smaller, and the overall size of the unit diminishes. It may now number no more than 300-400 at the front.
The losses, and indeed the return of badly wounded men, have resonated in the home community. A few weeks into the war, one user of V'Kontake exclaimed, "Almost every day photos of our Kostroma boys get published. It sends shivers down my spine. What's happening? When will this end?"
AND the story is certainly repeated in hundreds of towns and cities in RUSSIA.
When will some of the local trolls actually reveal what they think of this mass execution of RUSSIAN boys and men?
Stop writing rubbish about victories and admit RUSSIAN Putin's madness.
