What is the truth about the number of Russian Soldiers killed in the Ukraine ? - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

Daily Mail: Reports " Russia now claims 1,300 troops have been killed and 3,800 wounded in Ukraine - treble its previous toll but a fraction of the 16,000 Kyiv says it has killed "

Lets Get Real:

One assumes the Russians are not telling the truth about how many of their soldiers they have lost in the Ukraine, this is political and PR mistake, the true number will get out, the body bags being sent home will do that, what ever restrictions Putin puts on people talking, the worst Russian invasion since Afghanistan in 1979 will have people talking, in whispers but it will get out.  The Kremlin on the political front is also doing a MISTAKE, if it was smarter it would tell the Russian people about their loses, the Kremlin could argue that the evil West is supporting the KYIV Government and thus it is important to stand up to the Ukraine and the West, but of course that would take a brain open to the TRUTH, so far Putin has a horrible historian and a bad Hollywood movie critic, if today's rantings are anything to go by.  Putin stated that the Hollywood over looked the role of the red army in World War 2 or the Great Patriotic War it is called in Russia. This is simply not true, Hollywood did many pro Stalin and USSR talkies during the WAR, that is why the Congress went after them in the late 1940s and 50s.  Of course it should be noted that Russia took its time to join the Allies, it took the German invasion of Russia in 1941, and even then Stalin hid under his desk for the week.  Russian intelligence has informed Stalin about the threat of invasion but he did not believe them, he had signed a Nazi - Soviet Non Aggression Pact with Nazi Germany in August 1939. If you sub with the Devil, better have a long spoon, and do not expect sympathy from the West, you are not going to get it from this blogger.   The Russians have a trend of not being a create partner, Lenin signed a peace deal with Germany in 1918 and removed Russia from World War 1.  Thus as stated above the Kremlin needs to tell the truth about the number of deaths in the Ukraine, it will come out anyway and Putin ravings require a mental care, the Russian people need to overthrow the EVIL REGIME of the former EVIL EMPIRE. 

Is Russia creating good PR for cutting and running out of the Ukraine - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

Sky News - Live Blog: Reports in its 4.57pm post the following, " Moscow could be preparing a climbdown on Ukraine with 'face-saving' statements, source says....the potentially hugely significant statements out of Moscow earlier, in which an official said Russia would now focus on its "main goal" of liberating Donbass now that the first phase of its military operation was "mostly complete".  "

Lets Get Real:

The War in the North has not gone well for the Russians, the Army of the Ukraine has those that have joined the forces have kept Russia from getting to KYIV and surrounding it, and from reports it seems that the Ukrainian Army is taking the fight to the Russians.  Thus the Kremlin might move its forces to the East, as shown by the bombing and destruction of Mariupol the Russians have no limits in the number innocent people they kill for Putin.  It was reported today that about three hundred people were killed in the theatre bombing, that is a estimate as Mariupol is still in combat mode, also in the view of the UN the RUSSIANS have created WAR CRIMES by kidnapping people from the City.   On the whole a East move would work for the PR of the Kremlin, they can argue that the have a land corridor from East Ukraine to the Crimea.  The problem is will the KYIV Government give those sectors as concessions to the Russians and will the people of the Ukraine approve such a measure in a Country wide referendum.  This WAR has some time to go, before peace.

Russian - Ukraine Peace Talks Latest - Update - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 4.54pm post the following, " Peace talks between Russia and Ukraine are continuing - but there has been little progress on the main political issues, according to a member of the Russian negotiating team.....However, he said they were coming closer to an understanding on secondary issues.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Russians thought they would have a quick victory over the KYIV Government, that has not happened, in fact Russian Forces gains are being reversed by the Army of the Ukraine.  The Northern part of the invasion has not gone to plan, the Russians are having problems taking small cities, it has destroyed Mariupol in the South, and are have abducted the citizens according to the UN.   The Russians have prevented food getting to Mariupol from the KYIV Government but are sending food and water supplies for the people, thus seeking base good PR.  The KYIV Government should limits its concessions to the Russians, what they might demand and get are two different things.  The Ukraine Army has the wind to its back, while the Russians are losing Generals all over the place.  The War will be one of attrition, who ever stands at the end is the winner.
