is larger than France, remember that, and they have faced success only in small bordering

territories.

because I know Ukrainians. But sadly, I also believe that Russians have superior numbers, but oh my God, the Ukrainians will die for Kiev literally.

But the important part here is the fact that, well, the amount of pure casualties is suddenly increasing.

In Russia, they have decided to basically claim that there have been no casualties.
