It’s not 100k ‘Russians’ though, it’s 97.5k minorities from ‘backwaters’ and 2.5k euro Russians. If the body bags had been coming back to the ‘elite’ euro Russians in the numbers that the rest of the country has suffered, I’m sure they’d be more prominent and public rhetoric against the war.It's beyond my comprehension that a leader can send 100k of their young countrymen to thier deaths and not care!
Speaking of the 117k though… I’m not sure what they are going to arm them with, that’s a 10+% increase , for an army suffering serious losses of high tech and modern material.
