https://www.youtube.com/watch/0M3ZnsoZ9fg Russia’s staggering losses in Ukraine, explained
Russia’s total military losses in Ukraine have reached 1,500,870, Ukraine’s General Staff said on Sept. 9, marking another grim milestone in the war for the Kremlin.
It took roughly two years and three months for the Russian Armed Forces to incur their first 500,000 casualties. Moscow has now suffered roughly the same number in just the past 15 months, as technology increasingly shapes the battlefield and drones expand the kill zone almost daily.
The Kremlin’s total personnel losses in Ukraine now exceed the combined toll suffered by Russian and Soviet forces in all wars and armed conflicts during the second half of the 20th century and the early 21st century, the General Staff said.
Moscow’s toll in Ukraine is also more than 100 times higher than the number of personnel lost during the decade-long Soviet war in Afghanistan, and more than 125 times higher than the combined casualties from the First and Second Chechen wars, according to the General Staff.
Since the beginning of 2026, Russian forces have suffered around 30,000 casualties per month in Ukraine. In July alone, the figure surged to a record 42,860 — the highest monthly toll since the start of the full-scale war. In August, the monthly figure again topped 40,000, according to Ukraine’s Defense Ministry.
Yet even as Russian casualties continue to mount, Ukrainian soldiers do not expect the losses to force the Russian military to abandon its objectives in Ukraine, particularly as, according to Ukraine, the Russian government is considering a new mobilization wave that could bring another 600,000 people into the military in 2026-2027.

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
When Lefty (Al Pacino) leaves his apartment, he knows it will be for the last time…
FILM DESCRIPTION:
This drama about an undercover cop who learns the hidden dangers of working his way inside the mob was based on a true story. Joe Pistone (Johnny Depp) is an FBI agent who is given an assignment to infiltrate the Mafia; calling himself Donnie Brasco, he befriends Lefty Ruggiero (Al Pacino), a low-level mob hit man whose personal life is in tatters. Lefty’s marriage is falling apart, his son is a junkie, and his health is failing, which only adds to his growing disillusionment about having spent 30 years with the Mafia (and killing 26 people) with little to show for it. But in Donnie, Lefty sees someone who can succeed where he failed; he takes the young man under his wing, and under Lefty’s tutelage Donnie quickly rises through the ranks of organized crime; however, the longer he plays the role of the gangster, the more Joe Pistone finds himself becoming Donnie Brasco in his increasingly rare off hours; it drives a wedge between himself and his wife (Anne Heche) and children, and Joe realizes that a break in character among the hoodlums he’s come to know could mean a death sentence for himself and his family. Just as importantly, Joe has come to regard Lefty as a close and trusted friend, and Joe realizes that when the day comes where he has to turn in his Mob associates, he’ll be ending Lefty’s life as surely as if he put a slug in his head himself. The supporting cast includes Michael Madsen as Sonny, Lefty’s boss, and Bruno Kirby as Nicky, one of Sonny’s henchmen. The real-life Joe Pistone today lives under an assumed name with a 500,000-dollar contract on his life still in effect.

I can’t stand this indecision
Married with a lack of vision
