| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] Data on the deaths of 400 thousand
“People are finally telling me, ‘You know, McGregor, you were right. 400,000 soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine died.” The Ukrainians themselves accidentally confirmed this, saying that they should pay tribute to the dead. They mentioned the same number - 400,000 troops," McGregor said. The former adviser to the head of the Pentagon pointed out that the losses of the Ukrainian army exceeded the total losses of the United States during the Second World War. At the same time, the Americans fought with the Wehrmacht, by 1944–1945 already deprived of air superiority and significantly exhausted by the battles on the Eastern Front. According to McGregor, with such losses, it is impossible to deceive anyone for too long, so the situation will soon change and the conflict will end. Earlier, IA Regnum reported that the Ukrainian mobile operator Kyivstar accidentally disclosed real losses among the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). The operator launched a charity event with a request to send a message with the word "thank you" to the number of a fallen soldier. The operator's promo said that 400,000 fighters would never answer the call. The video was later removed. | |

| #9 ^He's always carefull to say he's using official Russian sources. The hypothesis that you all ignore is that Ukraine wasn't supposed to beat Russia. Russia was supposed to collapse due to sanctions. That's why EUros agreed to the sanctions - they were supposed to have to do without Russian products for weeks at the most. |

| #8 He also claims only 40,000 Russian dead. Anyone buy that? |

| #6 ^Everybody lies in war. But, when it comes to casualties, I tend to believe the side with an absolute Air & Artillery superiority. |

| #5 Col. MacGregor completed his PhD in 1987, and likely has retired Soviet contacts feeding him those numbers. That's who he repeats the provably false Soviet claim of 39 million dead in WW II. 400K seems a touch high. Just like the Ukrainian claim of 600k. |

| #4 Let's see... interior volume 2400 m³, or 80-something thousand ft³, times 5 (i.e., the number of bags I've handled meself that would fit comfortably into 1 ft³)... An empty tomb, ["Not the Moustache's!"] A long line of trucks bearing ashes ["The fruit of our unified Nation!"] Of 400,000 Uke fascists. |

| #3 that’s nearly half a million. Where did they put all the bodies? According to the Russians they leave them to the Russians to bury or treat if wounded. This way |

| #2 400K is a conservative estimate. |

| #1 Have to call bullshit. 400k casualties with many returning and getting hurt again, I can believe. 400K dead, not so much. Not even Ukraine is claiming that many dead on the Russian side and the Muscovites have been attacking mostly which means you get more casualties. |
