Russia's "irrecoverable losses" in the war with Ukraine have just become known: according to an FSB source, that figure is 90K. This includes troops who were killed, went missing, died from wounds, or were disabled and cannot return to military service.https://t.co/paAUqNL5u8

A Ukrainian military officer says hundreds of Russian convicts offered pardons for combat have already showed up on the battlefield in Ukraine, and that some have gone AWOL with their weapons to carry out crimes back in Russia.

Judging from UN voting, Putin's only friends in the world-- Belarus, North Korea, Nicaragua, Syria. Embarrasing for Russia.

While the UN remains useless at best in things that matter most, this isolation of Russia is not meaningless. The message to Putin's elites is that there's no way back with him anymore. Even most reliable puppets and cronies went against him. https://t.co/IbvEzRrp8e

Grateful to 143 UN member states who supported UNGA resolution "Territorial integrity of Ukraine: Defending Principles of UN Charter”. The demand is clear: Russian decisions on attempted annexation must be reversed; Russia must withdraw its forces from all of Ukraine’s territory. pic.twitter.com/6FF5UBPUjX

#Belarus The Ministry of Defense reported that Russian troops began arriving in Belarus. This video shows how they are met with bread and salt. One of the commanders from #Russia said they came to "help the brotherly Belarusian nation." Not sure our nation needs such help pic.twitter.com/lGrE2F8WIC

I'm guessing Lukashenko is smart enough to slip out of this, such as welcoming Russian soldiers but never having attacks from Belarus territory. Even in Feb he was lukewarm.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Friday spoke with his Russian counterpart for the first time since May, as Ukrainian forces seek advances ahead of winter, and Russian drone and missile attacks have terrorized civilians. https://t.co/oCrKGCeVqX
— The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) October 21, 2022

Details of the call were closely guarded by both sides.

The Pentagon, in a one-sentence summary, said Austin “emphasized” to Russia’s defense chief, Sergei Shoigu, “the importance of maintaining lines of communication amid the ongoing war.” https://t.co/oCrKGCeVqX
— The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) October 21, 2022

The Kremlin issued an equally terse recap of the leaders’ “telephone negotiations,” saying only that they discussed “relevant aspects of international security, including the situation in Ukraine.” https://t.co/oCrKGBWMcP

So basically one can be assured that Russia is going to be an extra fucked up country for at least a decade - even if Putin were to die, and there was major redirection, the meme and the brainwashing will still be there -

"Ahead is probably the most dangerous, unpredictable and at the same time important decade since the end of the Second World War," Putin told members of the annual Valdai Discussion Club on Thursdayhttps://t.co/j74pzUTNIB
