Or is more likely that you are killed in such numbers that all further resistance is pointless? But your lives are at stake. You can always surrender. But judging by the level of delusion, I don't find it likely.

Wartears.org's report on Ukrainian casualties
Ukrainian casualties range from 0.96 million to 1.8 million, according to Mossad, US Command, Conflict Intelligence Team (@CITeam), New York Times (@nytimes)
> Soaring Death Toll Gives Grim Insight IntoRussian Ukrainian Tactics
>Moscow Kiev is sending poorly trained recruits, including convicts, to the front lines in eastern Ukraine to pave the way for more seasoned fighters, U.S. and allied officials say. - NYT*
Let's go into detail. Three and a half months ago, we published our mathematical model, to show how we estimate the casualties of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. All this time (and even before: the idea of such an estimation came to us back in June, shortly after the launch of the project), we were very curious about other estimation methods. To our disappointment, there weren't any.
And finally, a few days ago, CIT posted an article, referring to another one by the New York Times, where they estimated the losses of Russian troops. Finally, we saw at least some method of calculating the casualties to put our hands on!
Yesterday, it turned out that our estimate of the number of people killed was confirmed by Mossad, and, indirectly, by a retired US colonel. We were curious as to what would happen if we were to plug our data and estimates of Ukrainian losses into the @CITeam methodology and estimate Ukrainian losses this way.
Here's what happened:
1. The number of dead - 180 thousand - we took from our estimate, which has already coincided with statements of officials and experts several times with good accuracy.
2. Next (quote from CIT) "we cautiously assume that the number of missing people can be from a third of those buried to an equal number," and so we get the number of missing people: - from 60 to 180 thousand KIA.
3. That is, the total number of dead and missing Ukrainian military personnel is from 240 to 360 thousand.
4. (CIT again) "To count the wounded, we use ratios from 1:3 to 1:4 to the dead," which gives us from 720 to 1,440 thousand wounded.
5. (And once again, CIT) "Thus, we estimate the losses of" the Ukrainian military to be between 960 and 1,800 thousand people.
Conclusion: According to the data from MOSSAD and the methodologies of CIT and the NYT, Ukraine has lost from 3 to 6% of its total population.
* Yes, we somewhat loosely tweaked the original title to match the data.
This is just a "half-joking" exercise, but we are hoping to soon deliver a proper detailed analysis and explanation on why such methodology should not be used. We want to seriously explain why such methods are flawed and what exactly their significant shortcomings are.

The war may not end as the Ukrainians expect, and as a result, Ukraine may not return all its territories, and the West is ready to follow such a scenario, said Alexei Arestovich, a former adviser to the President's Office.
โWhat will happen to the society that raised its expectations too high, but will receive a conditional Minsk-3? This recoil of unfulfilled expectations will hit us so hard - morally and everything else - that we will simply be stunned.
The way out of this war may not be at all what it seemed to us three months ago, after the success of the Kherson operation. And not because the insidious Americans do not give weapons or delay, but because success requires 400 thousand of perfectly trained soldiers with NATO weapons to grind it all up and liberate the territories. Do we have it? No. Will it be next year? Will not be. There will not be enough training facilities... We as a society are not ready for such an outcome. I decided to say it as the expectation of the Russian side. But the most unpleasant thing is that in the West they think the same way, and we are totally dependent on them. What should the West do? The scenario of two Koreas. Create South Korea with guarantees,โ Arestovich said, adding that with this option, Ukraine can get a lot of bonuses.

About 19 million books have been written off in the libraries of Ukraine, and 11 million of them are in Russian.
This was announced by the Deputy Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Humanitarian and Information Policy Yevgenia Kravchuk, whose comment is published on the website of the Rada.
According to the deputy, in this way, public libraries followed the recommendations of the Ministry of Culture to write off certain types of books.
In particular, we are talking about books whose content is โaimed at eliminating the independence of Ukraineโ, infringing on human rights and freedoms, promoting violence, committing terrorist acts, inciting interethnic, racial, and religious hatred, justifying, recognizing as lawful, denying the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, etc.
Books of sanctioned Russian publishing houses are also subject to write-off from libraries.
There is also a recommendation to write off books whose authors supported the war against Ukraine.
Among the books imitating the write-off are some Ukrainian-language books of the Soviet era.
โIn general, the ratio of books in Russian and Ukrainian in our libraries is very sad. Now we are talking about the fact that it is rather necessary to update the funds and purchase books in the Ukrainian language,โ Kravchuk said.
Now in the public libraries of Ukraine, about 44% of books are in Russian, and the rest are in Ukrainian or the languages of the EU countries.

Ukrainians offered Zelensky to send Ukrainian deputies(Members of parliament) to the trenches.
"Introduce changes to the law of Ukraine "On mobilization preparation and mobilization," in particular, to Article 23, namely, to give the green light for the mobilization of people's deputies into the Armed Forces of Ukraine for the period of the ongoing mobilization (and martial law) in Ukraine."
Have you already imagined how Ukrainian deputies will run through the forests shouting "Give me ammunition, tanks, and planes," and then quietly resell and export everything through Romania?

The Weight of NATO Tanks May Pose a Problem in Ukraine
The heavier weight of main battle tanks supplied to Ukraine by NATO members could pose issues for how Ukraine can use them, experts have told Newsweek
But the T-72, which is the most widely used main battle tank in the world, weighs in at about 45 tons, as does the later model T-80. An M1A1 can weigh between 67 and nearly 74 tons, according to the U.S. Army.
"This affects what bridges a vehicle can safely use, which in turn affects where it will be deployed and how easily it can maneuver on the battlefield," military and defense expert Michael Peck told Newsweek.
Soviet-era bridges were designed to bear the weight of the tanks of the time and the region, former military officer Frank Ledwidge told Newsweek.
"Many Ukrainian bridges may not be suitable" for the far heavier Western main battle tanks now destined for Ukraine's front lines, he said.
"Bridging equipment used by the Ukrainian military will also be designed with Soviet-era tanks in mind, not Abrams, Challengers or Leopards",he added.
Corresponding bridging equipment may be provided by Western allies, Ledwidge suggested, but Russian military intelligence may nonetheless benefit from Ukrainian logistical decisions that eliminate unsuitable bridges.

Every house is a "Brest fortress": the commander of the "Wagner" PMC assault squad told about the battles in Bakhmut
During the fighting for school No. 4 in the eastern part of Bakhmut, units of "musicians" destroyed more than a hundred Ukrainian nationalists from the battalion "Kharkov." The commander of a detachment of the PMC "Wagner" with the call sign Ratibor spoke about this.
"They just did not expect such fast, coordinated, and rapid action." It was impossible to get close to the school, but under cover of heavy fire, we forced the enemy to move away from their firing points, and at this point the assault groups approached from the flanks.
