They also said that they have no proof, plus 200 prisoners.

We will never know how many Russians are killed in this needless
war, because the Russians have brought in some mobile Crematoriums.

They think that it is a better solution than sending body bags back to
families'

Full story here.

The crematorium story is unproven and does not appear to be related to the current Russian attack on Ukraine in 2022. Some stories and images seem to be from years ago.

Even though U.S. and Ukrainian officials believed that such crematoriums were operational in the past, the Telegraph report only states that the U.K. believes that this may be used to “cover up any future combat losses,” and shared old, unrelated footage. The actual source of the above video appears to be an incinerator company and was posted as early as 2013. We know that it does not show crematoriums being used by the Russian army in Ukraine in either 2022 or 2015.


Independent reporting on the ground has not verified the current use of such crematoriums. As such, we rate this story as “Unproven” and will update it if more information is available.

There were reports of a lot of younger Russian troops who thought they were going in for an occupation or 'surprised' they would have to actually kill people(or be killed).

There was a theory during the Cold War in a conventional war with the Soviet Union hold them off for a week resupply and logistics would become a problem for them.

I think the slow build up and show of force was ment to intimidate the Ukranians to surrender or accept an occupation.

Confirming a lot of stories about this has been an issue all along. They say in war the truth is the first thing to go out the window.

There's been a surge of false stories/videos and disinformation about this Russian attack on Ukraine on social media platforms like TikTok......readers, always beware of the lies, and try to do some research on your own to find the truth of what really happened.

Here the rumours start. In war you will never know the truth. They say in Canada during WW1 and WWII, the death count was never published in the papers because they did not want new recruits to get scared. It's called censorship and during the war all sides censor. That includes Russia, China, NATO and the good ole' USA and the Great White Frozen Canada.
 
There is some doubt as to the truth of this post, I have
to apologise, but I took the information both from the
BBC and several newspapers.

One should always remember "The truth is always the first casualty of war".

For instance... Now it's starting to look like the 12 brave soldiers who told the Russians to F*** off and died defending spider island, didn't actually die but may have surrendered instead.
Another fact that may have gotten lost in the media spin was the fact that in 2014 two regions in eastern Ukraine declared independence and wanted to join Russia but Ukraine wouldn't allow it.

Well, at least the BBC didn’t say that they died of complications from Covid 19.
So I, for one, will give ‘em a pass on this one.

My brother used to say if someone jumped out of a 10th floor balconey and died, the first responders would come around and say, "Oh boy! Another death from Covid19 complications!"

There is actually 1 good thing about Putin's invasion of Ukraine. I hear almost nothing about Covid19 and all it's variants and that is a good thing. Now, it's "Putin, Ukraine, NATO." Two years of Covid propaganda and discussions. Yes, I am sick and tired of it. Putin and his war is almost like a "breath of fresh air."
