I seriously doubt Putrid and his cronies actually care as long as the general population continue to believe the lies fed to them.

NATO: Sanctions begin to harm Russia's military industry.

Western sanctions are starting to hurt Russia's ability to make advanced weaponry for the war in Ukraine, Rob Bauer, who chairs NATO's Military Committee, told Reuters. NATO sees signs of Russia's decreased ability to produce replacements for cruise missiles and more sophisticated weaponry, Bauer said. On Sept. 16, unnamed U.S. officials told CNN they were disappointed about sanctions not having a bigger impact on the Russian economy. https://twitter.com/KyivIndependent/...59106966228994

There are critical voices, but they never come from people in top positions, the inner circle around Putin remains closed, the criticism is also never on Putin himself, always on the people who advise him. In principle, Russia is capable of living self-sufficiently. But what do you get? A country frozen in time. That economic and military pressure is going to increase enormously, Russia is here with an expiring story either way, Putin won't keep this up for three more years and not two years either, neither will Ukraine, by the way half of the Ukrainian budget goes on defense that obviously can't last even with the support of the West.

"personnel - about 54,250 (+200) people were liquidated"

Some questions popped up.

This number Circa 54000 does this cover every Russian who have been fighting in Ukraine or is it only Ordinary soldiers who was there on a contract ?

'cause I been reading that the Wagner group is loosing a lot of soldiers every day.
