Putin and Shoigu overstepped the mark in the opinion of numerous military bloggers. At least 315,000 Russian soldiers or more have already been wounded in the Ukraine war.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is apparently trying to sweep these losses under the carpet. “I'm at a loss for words”: Russians scoff at bizarre Ukraine show at ShoigU-Putin meeting.“The most brutal battles for Krynki will be fought on the Internet tomorrow,” wrote one of the biggest military bloggers ironically.
