MarmeeMarch You've argued it's not a grinder, these are the numbers of a grinder. That's what was being discussed and that's what that figure answers.
Zelensky's "problem" is that he isn't a Lukashenko kind of puppet, nothing more and nothing less. He's spans above Putler, at the eyes of any non involved observer, whether you accept it or not.
If you don't like the source you can provide a better one yourself. Like, the U.S. independently estimated 15k in
