The BBC, clown-level outlet, is just pumping it out:

Invisible Losses: Tens of thousands fighting for Russia are dying unnoticed on the frontline in Ukraine

I wonder how that would be physically possible. I suppose when you have to mentally accomodate what Kiev tells you and what you are seeing, the only way out is to declare it "invisible"

> Over 95,000 people fighting for Russia's military have now died as the war in Ukraine enters the fourth year, according to data analysed by the BBC.
> This figure doesn't include those who were killed serving in the militia of the self-proclaimed Donbas republics which we estimate to be between 21,000 and 23,500 fighters.
> BBC Russian, independent media group Mediazona and volunteers have been counting deaths since February 2022.
> The list includes names of the deceased that we verified using information from official reports, newspapers, social media, and new memorials and graves. The real death toll is believed to be much higher.

And at the end:

> The website Ukraine Losses, which compiles casualty data from open sources, currently lists more than 70,400 surnames of Ukrainian soldiers. Our verification of a random sample of 400 of them found the database to be reliable.
> The Ukrainian casualty list is likely more complete than the Russian equivalent, as Ukrainian presidential decrees on posthumous military awards remain publicly accessible. In Russia such data is classified.

This is a joke.

In my opinion by far the most important event occurring at the moment is the unfolding collapse of Ukraine. The front lines are breaking, the energy system is collapsing, and there is a funding crisis which the EU is finding it impossible to resolve. Against this background there is an ongoing power struggle in Kiev masquerading as an 'anti-corruption' campaign (it is no such thing) and there are growing signs that once prominent rats are jumping the visibly sinking ship (there are rumours that the Energy Minister has fled abroad following the lead apparently set by Umerov).

Meanwhile even the UK media talk about Zelensky's increasing disconnection from reality https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/11/18/zelensky-is-losing-touch-with-reality/

As it happens the latest word about Zelensky is that he is flying today to meet Witkoff in Istanbul, supposedly in order to get the negotiations with Russia - which just a week ago the Ukrainians were saying had been 'suspended' till the end of ...

Dnipro, 19 Nov, evening

Did a trip to the Western border over past two days, got back last night just after midnight. First time ever, I saw no military convoys heading east. Not a single one.

People in Lvov were noticeably worried, and were eagerly asking me what was happening in the east and especially on frontlines. It was a pleasure to tell them those front lines are moving closer to them everyday. Snowed heavily when crossing the Carpathians, and today in Dnipro snowed too, was above zero so melted as it hit the ground, but it's cold.

Power across the country is on for less than half the day. I have attached today's grid shut-downs for those interested, dtek provides power in left bank of Dnipro, which is divided into zones.

Everyone is watching what's happening with the cokehead and his junta, and nabu/saps like watching a train wreck. Everyone is hoping it means the end is nigh, me too. I can't see a road back from here for zelenksy and his criminal junta. Even if he rallies support ...

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"
I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad ! 

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY  this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

 

Hope to see you all asap.
