Cont: The Russian Invasion of Ukraine part 9

Not sure if this has been posted, but it's important. A translation from the beginning -

The Defence Ministry has also built a modern hospital at the Voronov Centre, which we originally planned to fight COVID, but today, thank God, it has been vacated. A modern complex, provided with all surgical, therapeutic, diagnostic capacities, and so on, we decided to repurpose this center into a rehabilitation center for participants in the special military operation. Today, about 600 thousand participants in the special military operation are already being rehabilitated there. In general, I think it is the largest in our country and unique in terms of technology.

OK

600,000? I'm no expert on hospitals, but . . . that's a big ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ hospital.

(yeah, yeah, I'm probably focusing on the wrong thing there)
 
As with all things Russian and "modern" (Armata, Su-57, etc), I assume there's one or two display articles and a lot of unfinished, remarkably primitive stuff behind it.

In this particular case, I also assume that when they say about 600k soldiers are being served by the facility, they mean the grounds and unfinished buildings are being used to store about 600k bodies.

I guess they could have had 600k patients in various kinds of treatments but if it means sowing up a missing limb and tying a stick to it as a "prosthetic" maybe that sorta counts?

Russia is clearly understating its capacity to rehabilitate wounded soldiers using the latest technology, so that we will underestimate their true power. They probably have three such modern facilities, and are treating four times as many casualties.

You mean ‘overstating’ ?

I agree that the number of injured soldiers who have been treated in that facility is so low that as a proportion of the claim of 600,000 it's effectively zero.

I also think that the number of injured soldiers is far, far higher than 600,000 but Putin doesn't give a stuff about them unless they can be patched up and shoved into the front line again. Hundreds of thousands of horribly mutilated ex-servicemen wouldn't be good publicity even in a country as bizarre as Russia.
 
Perhaps this is one of those Russian corruption things where the oligarch who owns the hospital billed the state for 600,000 patients but actually they only had 6. Or it could have been an honest mistake, if you drag a cell in Excel it sometimes autopopulates the next cell quite wrongly.
 
An article in Washington Post describes how North Korean soldiers fighting for Russia are better equipped, and learn fast: What the North Koreans took into battle against Ukraine
I found it interesting to read, and it is clear they have much higher fighting spirit than the Russians, who surrender willingly. They probably also know what awaits at home if they do.

One North Korean soldier had papers on him criticising that they had killed Ukrainian prisoners which angered the Ukrainians, and prolonged the battler (presumably the other Ukrainians were less willing to surrender).

The Russians have also equipped the North Koreans with better gear than their own soldiers, and the North Koreans have quickly learnt not to move in tight groups on the battlefield.

Currently, they are not active, probably because they are assessing the situation, and learning from their mistakes,

I find it very likely that these are troops that are later going back to North Korea, and will be used to impart the lessons in the rest of the North Korean army.

Maybe the South Koreans should send troops to Ukraine so that it is not only the North Koreans who will have battle-experienced soldiers?
 
Trump statement on Russia, the war and Tariffs.

Donald J. Trump
@realDonald Trump
I'm not looking to hurt Russia. I love the Russian people, and always had a very good relationship with President Putin - and this despite the Radical Left's Russia, Russia, Russia HOAX.
We must never forget that Russia helped us win the Second World War, losing almost 60,000,000 lives in the process. All of that being said, I'm going to do Russia, whose Economy is failing, and President Putin, a very big FAVOR.
Settle now, and STOP this ridiculous War! IT'S ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE. If we don't make a "deal," and soon, I have no other choice but to put high levels of Taxes, Tariffs, and Sanctions on anything being sold by Russia to the United States, and various other participating countries.
Let's get this war, which never would have started if I were President, over with! We can do it the easy way, or the hard way - and the easy way is always better. It's time to "MAKE A DEAL. "NO MORE LIVES SHOULD BE LOST!!!
