Mariupol alone, where some of the worst fighting has occurred, the city’s mayor has said at least 10,000
people have died
Both Ukrainian officials and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights believe the actual civilian death toll in Ukraine to be much higher.

Real death toll is way higher it can be compared with corona deaths official death toll is not even 20% of actual estimated death toll
people, not soldier, you were talking about solider, Mariupol was a big city with a pre-war population of 500,000+ assuming 90% of Mariupol is evacuated, you are talking about 100,000 still left in the city. And with the City literally razed to the ground, it's really lucky if only 10,000 people had died.
But then not every one of them were defending Mariupol, most of them are women and children and old people, they were the one that got stuck, there are only 1 Brigade defending Mariupol, that's 12th Marine Brigade, there are some local units (like Azov) but that wouldn't amount to more than 1000, So technically, you would have around 6-7,000 soldier defending Mariupol
As I said, if you also count civilian death, 200k Ukrainian killed are possible, but if you only count military, then it's impossible because AFU only have an estimated strength of at most 500,000 right now, 200,000k is roughly half of the force, give or take, an military unit is labelled combat ineffective if it have 40% casualty, so if Ukrainian lost 50% of their strength, that entire fighting force ceased to exist.
Again, tradition estimation from force regeneration project both side in low 100,000 casualty mark, Ukrainian may have a higher rate. But it would not be that much of a different. Not like they lost 3 times more than the Russian.......Because war usually favor the defender.
So was Taliban rolled over?
Yes, they remind me where was Talban communication Office in when the American were in Afghanistan? Were they in Afghanistan or were they in Qatar??

But yeah, you are right, I am sure the senior Taliban official went there for the view, not because we kick them out of Afghanistan.
dude, you act like a snag, you want some Tom-Piper with it?
