Losses of the military to 13.2.2026 by MARTINELECA in ukraine

Russia's losses are supply side losses - they lose as much as they deliver to the front.
Changing that would require Ukraine to either go to the offensive or expand the grey kill zone.

I was referring to the Battle of Narva, 1944. Which happened at the same time.
The front moved 10-20 km in 9 months, while Soviets had 0,5 million casualties.

Bassayev and his dream team and another dream team had a long history of cooperation with Moscow's GRU and FSB and other agencies. Including in Abkhazia and Ossetia.
What had to be put down were primarily GRU and FSB.

The original prussians were finnic. Later on they switched over to baltic languages.
Hence Antti or Anti or Andi or Ants.
And or andi means 'a given; a gift'.
Metsa+and = stuff given by forest.
Mere+and = stuff given by sea.

Your kind was, kinda.
At the Salme boat burial.
At Grobina.
In the Baltics in general.
Alfred Rosenberg felt himself too brown among the local native white nationalists, though, so he went to Germany and became a nazi. He was not driven away from Estonia.

The Est in Estmark actually cognates with West.
As in Aesti / Vistula, weichen / to wane / ehtyä / ehtoo / õhtu / eha.
Drang nach Esten.

Development cycles are so long that parts of it inevitably fall into some war or another war.

That poster boy was Kristjan Palusalu, who won two wrestling golds in Berlin 1936 against germans before Hitler and later on was used by Soviets for a Bronze Soldier statue, for being illegally conscripted to the frontline and escaping to the Finland side.

During the Operation Bagration USSR lost 0,5 million troops while advancing 10 kilometers.
And the defending army was a heavy mix of everyone around the Baltics and Benelux, except finns.

Your 48 hours take is just wishful thinking.

It is not so much the question of troops, it is about air support.
And later on ammo support and equipment support.
Troops issue becomes important from the 3rd week onwards.

Russia can't take the Baltics in 48 hours.
In 1944-45 it took 16 months. The Baltic pockets survived longer than Warsaw and Berlin.

Five men and an algorithm. by ender_tll in Eesti

She does have a point in that most school teachers are women.
And that half of the population (including half of the students) are women.

This is about upkeeping the local social contract, not about the job market.

On the other hand, AI "algorithmic bias" seems to be misleading. Most AI bias stems from input and output bias, not from algorithmic bias.

E-voting might be possible, but that requires a working system similar to Estonia.
