| #3 All those convicted criminals killed in a human wave attack won’t need to be housed, fed, and guarded after they return home and resume former habits. And the ones that do survive will get to play that lottery again and again while learning useful skills. All sorts of wins from the Russian perspective. |

| #1 200,000 garbage, 8 to 1 ratio in favor of Russia. "further Russian air and missile strikes on the entire territory of Ukraine remains high" OH, they were supposed to run out of rockets. Human wave lie didn't catch on I guess. The big push is yet to come. |
