^^^^^How can you tell that this is propaganda and where it comes from? Just notice it says "The Ukrainian Crisis". There is no "Ukrainian Crisis", there is an "Invasion of Ukraine by Ruzzia".

The rest is as good as the tittle. But it is irrelevant for the discourse of the war.

Russian forces lost nearly 1,300 fighters, more than 100 vehicles of various types and 65 artillery systems in the past day, according to Ukraine, shortly after Kyiv reported the highest number of monthly Russian casualties and artillery losses in the war-torn country.

And this is not a one-off, it is has been like this since Ruzzia started the invasion of Karkhiv Oblast. Or like you would be like it to call it "the Crisis in Karkhiv" or the "special military operation".

This is what means "to be in range" and there is going to be much more equipment "in range".

Initial source "published by Ukraine's military" https://x.com/DefenceU/status/1797857800309411907 so propaganda wrapped into newsweek.com wrapper to provide more legitimacy? But since we're citing direct side of the conflict on losses, to get a full-er picture would it not be beneficial to cite both sides?

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday gave a rare update on casualty and prisoner-of-war figures from Moscow's ongoing war in Ukraine, saying to international journalists that Kyiv's losses were several times that of Moscow's
...
president told the heads of international news agencies at a meeting in St. Petersburg that there are 1,348 Russian soldiers and officers in captivity in Ukraine, versus 6,465 Ukrainians in Russian detention.
...
Putin also said that the ratio of "irretrievable losses" between Russia and Ukraine was one to five in favor of Moscow.

Those numbers would be catastrophic even before we consider Russia's 3:1 advantage in population. History will not judge Zelenskyy kindly if real numbers are anything close to this, once revealed. Lowering age of mobilized Ukrainian conscripts only provides hints to the horrifying dynamics
