According to figures released by the Ukrainian government's, those Russian losses have amounted to over 11,000 troops so far, with hundreds of Russian military vehicles also having been destroyed or captured. Dozens of military aircraft have also reportedly been shot down by Ukrainian forces.

To add to that, Russia has been hit hard economically by heavy sanctions imposed by western nations, making it surpass Iran as the world's most sanctioned country. That could potentially mean that the Kremlin is attempting to cut back on extra costs, which would also include the maintenance of Syrian fighters in Libya, who were reportedly being paid $700 per month.

There have also emerged reports that Moscow is recruiting Syrian fighters and mercenaries to fight on its side in Ukraine, particularly in order to use their experience in close urban combat. The report by Suwayda 24, however, said that the fighters who returned from Libya were not given any offers to be deployed to Ukraine.

Got to love China, unleashes COVID-19 onto the world and then repeats Russian accusations of the US running biowarfare labs. Surprised their official could even keep a straight face.

Same way Colin Powell made the case for WMD in the UN , I guess. Still waiting for those WMD to surface in Iraq , a war prosecuted by Bush & his poodle Tony the Tooth.

If Biden comes across as senile at times , this woman comes across as fakeness personified all the time . She thinks the best way not to answer a question is to laugh it off .

There is no victory for Russia. What Putin has done is the equivalent of when a suicidal parent takes their family's life as well as their own, except he has done it with an entire country. Fully capture Ukraine or not, Russia will be the long-term loser. He has destroyed his relationship with Europe and made Russia China's bottom bitch.

He has annulled all disputes between western nations, increased the defence spending and global support of all his adversaries (even got Germany taking defence seriously*). He has forced neutral European nations to seriously consider joining NATO and expedited the creation of an EU military focussed on him as the main threat.

His armed forces have proven an embarrassment - exercising terrible tactics like using lifts and bunching up in areas pre-sighted for artillery fire, not using encrypted comms, losing 2 times more people in the first 2 weeks than the coalition lost in Iraq and Afghanistan in over 20 years, and dozens of times more vehicles in the same comparison. Turkish drones have been able to strike his armoured columns without the previously thought invincible Russian IADS laying a finger on them. Smart weapons have been seemingly absent. Throughout, his forces have been more equivalent to a 1990 Iraqi military than that of a superpower. Even their fuses don't work:
