Many Russian Soldiers Have Died (And Are Dying) In Ukraine



The War in Ukraine Is Killing Lots of Russians -- Paul Richard Huard, War Is Boring

Trucks marked ‘Gruz 200' could be hearses for Moscow’s dead.

The Kremlin has gone to great lengths to deny any direct involvement in the war in Ukraine, even as Russian soldiers have entered eastern Ukraine in increasing numbers since April to fight alongside pro-Moscow separatists.

But despite tactics ranging from blunt official denials to government pressure on soldiers’ families to remain silent, there is mounting evidence that Russian soldiers are not just fighting in Ukraine.

They are dying there in large numbers.

My Comment: The mass majority of Russians (if not almost all) .... are against any Russian military action in support of the Ukraine pro-Russian rebels. Sending relief convoys/humanitarian missions .... there is universal support .... sending in soldiers .... zero if any support. This is why these deaths are being kept as secret as possible ... public reaction and opposition will be swift and overwhelming. But by keeping it secret it fuels speculation and rumor that thousands of Russian soldiers have been killed .... not the hundreds that my best sources have been telling me. My advice to the Kremlin is to come clean ... and take the hit that it will entail. But .... I very much doubt that such an action is even being contemplated by Putin and his aides.

Update: The above video is from Russia (it is in Russian) that reveals the extent of Russian military deaths in Ukraine, and why the Kremlin's attempts to keep it secret are no longer working.

When soldiers were killed in Afghanistan, the relatives and friends were not supposed to talk about it.

Songs about those that died there have a certain name in Russian but I forget it.
