"Vladimir Putin has said Russia’s mobilisation drive to bolster its forces fighting in its faltering invasion of Ukraine will end within two weeks but defended the army from criticism of the draft.
The Russian president on Friday said about 220,000 men had been drafted into the army since he called up reserves and moved to annex four occupied regions of south-eastern Ukraine. He said this was a sufficient effort to bolster forces on the battlefield.
“Nothing additional is being planned,” Putin said, adding that he did not “see any need” to further strengthen the 1,100km frontline in Ukraine, which he said required reinforcements for Moscow’s standing army.
Russia’s army continues to flail nearly eight months after Putin first sent troops into Ukraine and his initial plan of a blitzkrieg to capture Kyiv failed."

Any figures for Ukraine? A couple of pages of search don't provide more than "1000 a day" etc.

He hasn't been to successful so far has he.
Thats good.
So can we hope for my gas and oil bill to start to go down some time soon.
No the source was dealing with the Russians military casulties
Yes Russias proffesional army losses
Unlike Ukraine the Russians don’t have civilian casulties that are in the mix

Not if Vlad the invader has anything to do with it, the thug has already blown up some of his own pipelines...
Yep, this is going to be the worst part for Gas and Oil. Europe will be less vulnerable next year so Putin is going to have one winter to play his cards before they are worthless.
I wouldn't be surprised if more of the Russian export systems suddenly stop working over winter.

Usual drivel from a Putin apologist
by the way America dropped the bomb on Hiroshima whilst it was engaged in a world war, it stopped the war.
completely different from Putin unilaterally invading Ukraine as a land grab
The duffer cannot bring himself to admit that Putin ordered the invasion of Ukraine.
Thought it was a good time to test out a bomb under wartime conditions.

To be fair, that is normally the best time to test a bomb.
