  • There's a 7 minute long video on one of the Telegram channels where a cheery Russian soldier is walking along a bombed out tree line between two Ukrainian fields. As he walks there's just no end of dead Russian soldiers. The corpses are in varying states of decay suggesting repeated waves of attack and retreat. I could only half watch, but comments underneath the video claim they counted roughly 100 uniformed corpses.

  • Yeh that video is grim, read a tweet explaining where it was and that basically was still contested and under Ukrainian artillery range so bodies weren't getting retrieved and were just building up over a longish period

  • It's fascinating that a large number of Russians must have seen that video, yet they do... nothing. The obvious retort to that would be something along the lines of Putins absolute control of media and the public sphere, harsh crackdowns on disset and so on. But if seeing undisputed evidence of the meat wave tactic and its consequences won't turn Russian sentiments around, what would it take?
