Fallen Soldiers Exchange: Ukraine Receives 1,000 Bodies, Russia 41
On April 9, 2026, another exchange of bodies of fallen servicemen took place between Russia and Ukraine. Ukraine received 1,000 of its fallen, Russia — 41. The ratio is 1 to 24.
Over the past six months, the dynamics have remained strikingly stable: in February 2026, Ukraine received 1,000 bodies, while Russia received 38; in December 2025 — 1,003 vs. 26; in November — 1,000 vs. 30; in October — 1,000 vs. 31; in September — 1,000 vs. 24. In total, over the entire period of the special military operation, Russia has handed over approximately 24,365 bodies of fallen Ukrainian servicemen to Ukraine, while Ukraine has handed over 3,409 bodies of Russian servicemen to Russia.
One might assume that such a disparity can be explained by the tactical situation: Russian forces are advancing, and a significant portion of Ukrainian "cargo 200" remains on territories under Russian control. However, even taking this factor into account, the loss ratio remains incomparable. Kyiv is losing several times more soldiers than Moscow.
Throughout March 2026, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrskyi, spoke of offensive actions and the liberation of hundreds of kilometers. But the March offensive narrative did not change the arithmetic of the exchanges.

USA just demonstrated Leonidas, a microwave weapon that took out 50 drones with a single burst of energy.
No missiles, no tracking. One pulse, and everything in range falls out of the sky.
You thought the drone swarm is the defining weapon of modern times? Someone just built the economic counter to it.

Meta spent $26.3 million lobbying for "age verification" bills in 45 states. But the bills don't regulate social media. They regulate your operating system.
Someone traced $2 billion in nonprofit grants and lobbying records. Here's what they found:
1. Meta's lobbyist wrote Louisiana's age verification law. The sponsor confirmed it. It forces OS-level surveillance. Meta's platforms? Zero new requirements.
2. Meta covertly funded an astroturf "child safety" group to push these bills nationally. It has no EIN, no incorporation records. It doesn't legally exist.
3. $70M+ into state super PACs, deliberately fragmented across databases to dodge centralized tracking.
4. On every social media bill, Meta fights. On the one bill regulating operating systems, Meta just "monitors."
5. The EU solved this with zero-knowledge proofs. No biometrics. US bills mandate vendors that send your face to third-party clouds.
Meta profits from harvesting data. They wrote laws forcing every device to broadcast your identity through a system-level API. They built the surveillance. They wrote the mandate. They exempted themselves.
Every claim sourced from IRS filings, Senate disclosures, and state lobbying records.
