#FakeNews aside, what is the current state of #Russia's war in #Ukraine?

RU, UKR, and Western maps roughly agree with respect to the position of the front line.
However, when estimating losses, there are incredible differences... and this is what I'd like to discuss in this 🧵. Total #Ukrainian & #Russian #Troops

Public estimates of troop numbers vary, with most sources agreeing that both sides have committed ~150k-250k men to the conflict.

Forces committed ≇ total army size.
