The Odometer of Death and Mayhem finally hit one million.

That’s how many Russians have been either killed or seriously wounded since the start of the war in a running tally kept by the Ukrainian government.

Will that make a difference to Vladimir “Angel of Death” Putin? Nope.

He’ll throw another million soldiers into the meat grinder if necessary.

x Russian losses in Ukraine hit a massive, and grim milestone on June 12 — 1 million Russian soldiers killed or wounded during the 39-month-long full-scale war, according to figures from Kyiv.

An average of 830 dead and wounded Russian soldiers per day over 1,204 days of war.

Russia National Day just happens to fall on the same day as Odometer of Death Day.

x Trump diplomacy's new low: Rubio congratulates Russians on Russia Day Polls show that 3/4 of Russians support Moscow's ongoing colonial war in Ukraine, while Russian "opposition" often repeats the Kremlin's talking points.

Speaking of Russia Day.

x ❌👀 Russian authorities congratulated Russians on "Russia Day" with a massive Internet shutdown — in 19 regions at once. 🤔 The reason is a threat to the security situation. Mobile communications were also restricted.

A stash of Russian mines makes a big bavovna.

Speed helps a Russian boat evade mortars, but the drone gets it in the end.

A Ukrainian drone takes out a Russian vehicle. Then a recon drone waits until a new ride comes in to pick up the survivors.

x 🐝☠️ Fishing for live bait. FPV drone hits Russian "Bukhanka" with infantry. The reconnaissance drone hovered over the location and waited for a new vehicle to arrive to pick up soldiers from the first one, to attack it as well.

No Taurus missiles for Ukraine.

This is disappointing since German Chancellor Merz specifically said during his campaign that he would supply Taurus to Ukraine.

A tank unit commander with no more tanks to command ends up dead on the front lines.

x Russia: 56-year old Lt Col Dmitry Kashchayev, commander of the 1295th Central Tank Reserve Base was sent to the frontline in Ukraine after he became redundant - the base was completely depleted of tanks in late 2024.

He was killed in occupied Ukraine in April of this year.
