"56,000 still unidentified only in Rostov morgues": More insane Russian losses are revealed

The Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine intercepted a conversation between a Russian citizen from the Belgorod region, in which he spoke about the enormous losses of the Russian army at the front .
As noted by the press service of the Main Intelligence Directorate, the man told his interlocutor that he had information about tens of thousands of unidentified bodies stored in Rostov. According to him, funerals of occupiers have become more frequent in the Belgorod Region.
"One of our mutual friends told me, he said there are 56 thousand still unidentified, in Rostov. They found an arm there, they found a leg there," says the Russian.
As the GUR reminded, there will be just retribution for every war crime committed against the Ukrainian people.
Sergei Krivenko of Moscow-based Citizen Army Law, a human rights group, says Russia’s aggressive censoring of stats, along with virtually no remaining independent news outlets, means that the rate of casualties is unlikely to sway popular opinion about the war.
“In the ’90s, when the Chechen war began, there were independent media outlets that objectively discussed the military topic on their pages and told the truth about the losses,” he told VOA’s Russian Service. "Andthis had a sobering effect on society. There is the most severe censorship now, the authorities have everything under control, and for publications of this kind you can easily get a prison term."
Krivenko also noted that the majority of troops sent to Ukraine are contract soldiers — an important distinction from the Afghan and Chechen wars fought primarily by “forced conscripts that ... were sent to slaughter, which caused tension and backlash in society, event to the point of creating social movements.”
Those who voluntary sign contracts to fight in Ukraine, he added, “made their own choice.”
“In addition, they receive a decent salary,” he said. “That is, ordinary people do not feel particularly sorry for them."
Krivenko said that while Russia’s “enormous” losses in Ukraine cannot be hidden, with cemeteries “expanding in every Russian city and town,” it will not force the Kremlin to change course.”
“They will only turn up patriotic rhetoric more intensely to explain the growing losses,” he said. “They will repeat that ‘there is a war with the West, so everyone goes to the front.’”
Roman Dobrokhotov, an independent investigative outlet based in Latvia, said focus groups have shownthat Russians are tired of the war in Ukraine — mainly over casualties and its effect on the economy.
