Tuesday, September 19, 2023

The general in command of Ukrainian ground forces said his troops have routed three of the best Russian brigades fighting on the front lines in the eastern Donetsk region of Ukraine. General Oleksandr Syrskyi also said on Monday that the recapture of two eastern Ukrainian villages in recent days " Klishchiivka and Andriivka, both of which are located on higher ground near the destroyed town of Bakhmut " was an important breakthrough. "In the fighting in the Bakhmut section, some of the enemy's best units have been crushed and have completely lost their combat power," Syrskyi said in a statement.

Really optimistic soldiers in the ad lol. Of 1.2 million committed to the fight, 372,000 are dead and double that wounded with somewhere between only 25% and 50% of wounded being able to return to their unit.

And that's the death benefits paid by the Kremlin numbers, whom just ordered another 250,000 death certificates compared to the pre-invasion 10,000 annual order. No telling what the real number is.

250,000 death certificates

That's a lot of mac-n-cheese to pay out to their mothers.
