According to the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies (@CSIS), the number of Russian fallen soldiers in Ukraine is 250,000, while Ukrainian soldiers are killed by betwen 60 000 and 100 000.
@jakluge @MarkGaleotti @CSIS 2).
In turn, according to the latest update by @bbcrussian and @mediazzzona, Russian losses are around 110,000 people.
Since both Moscow and Kyiv underestimate their losses, these are estimated data.

„As a British military officer working with the Ukrainians observed:
– »Kyiv traded one night of misery for destroying an appreciable portion of Russia’s strategic bomber force, and embarrassing Pootin«.

This war can often appear to be a contest of the stiletto dagger against the cudgel.

Ukraine’s attack demonstrated pinpoint accuracy, not simply hitting and destroying or damaging many strategic bombers (41 according to Kyiv, more like 20 according to US officials), but also zeroing in on specific points on the aircraft calculated to maximise their effect.
@russia_matters @MarkGaleotti @saradzhyan 1).
Russia attacked Ukraine because Ukraine is not a @NATO member. During the Soviet Unionʼs existence, there was never any armed aggression against any member state of the North Atlantic Alliance, although, of course, the potential danger existed [1] [2] [3].

I therefore believe that it will not happen now as well; the Russian Federation „Is a Potemkin Superpower” [4] [5] [6].

Though, on the other side, in the case of a potential withdrawal of the U.S. (the strongest member state) from @NATO structures by the Orange Duce (@realDonaldTrump) [8] [9], such a possibility should now be taken into account.
