Didn't know Macarthy played for Switzerland. I thought, based on SaintsWeb, that keepers should never be beaten at the near post.

Russia 'accuses' Ukraine of launching attacks on 2 of it's airfields - do they think, perhaps, that it would be fairer if Ukraine targetted civilian housing and energy infrastructure ?

Bingo

New Zealand troops have been teaching Ukrainians some new close combat tactics;

Russia and Japan have not signed a peace treaty to end WW2. If you want to see that the current level of Russian command incompetence is nothing new look up the "Voyage of the Damned"; the journey during the Russo-Japanese War of the Russian Baltic Sea Fleet round Africa and SE Asia to meet it's fate at the battle of Tsushima, particularly the story of the supply ship Kamchatka.

I would imagine that in Ukraine it would be easier than in Russia to work out the number of funerals of soldiers, so taking into account those bodies yet to be discovered and cases where no human remains are left to be found, the estimate quoted on the previous page of up to 20k is probably close.

Here's one for Warrior, if he is still watching this thread... EDIT: and another

England's path now potentially is France in the QF and Spain/Portugal in the SF.

That 4th German goal was offside, no question, but somehow VAR decides it isn't.

Scored off only 75 overs, at a rate of over 6.5 runs per over.

A woman is using Kraft for $5M because the instructions for her ready meal Mac&cCheese states "ready in three and a half minutes", but she contends that this does not take account of the time taken to remove the lid from the packaging or to open the sauce sachet.

Admittedly written with a particular bias, but an interesting review of recent history ; https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1598132925085913088.html "There are no separatists in the Donbas. The War in Donbas was an elaborate russian ploy. Some global media sources keep referencing the so-called DPR and LPR patched russian troops as "pro-russian separatists." In this thread, I aim to explain why it is russian propaganda."

506 : 4 at the end of the first day. WTF !!!!!!

Yeah, my mistake in typing what I remembered from Mark Milley;s report. Should have put 'casualties', not 'KIA'.

So, based on the available information, would you agree with the estimation that the Ukrainians have probably lost around 100k KIA, ( across all ranks ) ?

It is, perhaps, as pointless an addition to the discussion as yours. I suspect that everybody, other than you, reading the above exchange of posts would share the same understanding as to what ranks in the Ukrainian army the term 'Officer' referred.

But you don't salute him.
