WNU Editor,
ReplyDeleteAnother one for you,

Thank you Jay for the link. I am prepping my Ukraine post for late tonight. I will use it as my headliner.
ReplyDeleteYes .... Kiev's casualty numbers make no sense .... in fact .... they have never made any sense. I have friends who live in Odessa .... the hospitals are full of the wounded ... and that was before Christmas. Today .... it is a nightmare situation. In my father's home town (30 km. south of Kiev) .... the hospital is small but it is filled with about 15 wounded soldiers .... many of them amputees. But there is no public acknowledgement that they even exist.
