2 year anniversary of the Ukraine invasion today.
How is it going? Basically the same as it was at the 1 year anniversary
@dave if you look at the land maps, yes. If you look at casualties and supplies, one side is the clear winner.
@HoneyBadgerSupreme Eh, the numbers I'm seeing are 200k casualties for Ukraine, 330k for Russia. In absolute terms Russia is doing worse, but they have triple the population. Ukraine is certainly exceeding expectations, but this has been at least as painful for them as it has been for Russia.
@dave
> but they have triple the population
Doesn't mean that everyone of the remaining population would be happy to lay his head "for mother Russia". Russia has lost most of the professional army it had before the invasion — I'm not sure how much efforts go into training new recruits, but according to some reports, not much. And as it's not the early XIX century anymore when it was one crowd of peasants vs other crowd of peasants, general population doesn't matter as much. @HoneyBadgerSupreme
