Comment on Russia suffers worst month for casualties as Ukraine's Western allies would be resolute for "as long as it takes", says UK defence chief

1,500 dead and injured “every single day

No idea how many of those are dead vs injured, but to put that into context, the UK lost 457 people in Afghanistan in a 20 year period, and 179 in Iraq. 255 were lost in the Falklands.

I’d take the figures coming out of Ukraine with a pinch of salt but even if they’re half of what’s being said, these numbers are crazy. Such a crazy waste of life on all sides.
