I am pretty skeptical of that number. As of a month ago, even the Russians were 'only' claiming to have inflicted 383 thousand casualties (https://tass.com/defense/1723781), which we can take as an upper bound on the reasonable estimates.

Supposedly this guy just posts pro-Russian stuff and now I see why the accusations exist. Keeps trying to make it look like Ukraine are barely holding on for some reason.

The week between Christmas and New Year's it became clear to actual analysis that Russian logistics in Crimea were being blown to smithereens, so the Russians turned to terror bombing - you might recall a major aerial attack that happened a couple of days before new year that was mostly repelled by several layers of Ukrainian air defenses.

I reckon they need to flood the internet with "you lose" doomer memes like this because Ukraine hasn't fallen for it and neither have their Western allies for the most part. Russia lost at conquest and have wholly embraced terrorism.
