Bigly. Should be court martialed.
He was pardoned by previous guy and retains rank and pension.
The only real verification was a study of leaked russian documents earlier showing how much russia was paying out to families of dead soldiers. Simply dividing the entire sum by the figure set for each solider gave a number only a little bit smaller than Ukrainian estimates, and considering the lag in payments made Ukrainian estimates look very accurate. As you can imagine russians have kept very close control of those figures since then. US estimates are about half of Ukraine's but I don't think they have any real basis for their estimates. Some Ukrainians claim their estimates are very conservative. I know that they have hundreds of photos and videos from drones showing the dead.
Here is just one photo from near Bakhmut.
It's incredible to me that every russian official, every russina businessperson, even every russian citizen has not yet been sanctioned. That they are still allowed to participate in sporting events and such things as Ms Universe. Were Germans allowed this during WW II?Another massive missile attack by russia on cities all over Ukraine, hitting residentail buildings and infrastructure. About ten dead so far confirmed, dozens wounded. Still conflicting reports abut whether russians have actually taken Soledar, which is really a village on top of salit mines, but russians are trying to make a big deal out of it because they have so little to celebrate lately.
Shocking in that in 2014 nobody thought Russia would invade another European country. Now look at where we are at.
