Umm the smart ones don't do the fighting. They're in the command centers. This warfare they get a bunch of conscripts to renew the lines. They've held some veterans in reserve, further training them to charge. But there's a combination. Yes quite a few are fighting there. Quite a few of them have died there. But it's not the majority, of Ukrainians dying.

I don't buy much into it. Until something significant happens, it's nonsense propaganda. It amounts to the same strategy. If Ukraine make any gain, it's Vday. The Russians are blah blah dying and retreating in exaggerated numbers, and Ukraine are winning, they will succeed in the inches gained. If Russia has an upper hand by causing something by gaining territory, killed Ukrainians, halted an advance, or hit a base. It's warcrimes, sanctions, funding, and how Russia is losing, becsuse Putin is blah blah. The press follows this pattern. It doesn't deviate.
