According to both Russia and the west, 1 million Russians have died. 100% with you about Gaza. I see the power dynamic differences and I see Israels openness regarding ethnic cleansing and colonization. But being quite about intentions to colonize doesn't make it less insidious.
So according to Russia, they had 1 million losses? Please provide a source because that would be more than weird, not too long ago credible evidence pointed to less than a tenth of that...
To be completely honest I don't know what I viable source would be. I for sure do not have it from the horses mouth the way I thought I did. I know that I read that number on RT, however, it looks to me like RT might have been running a story from a British source because when I look now I see this one. And unless it's coming from an officers mouth it's gonna be hard to defend as a source.

Lots of claims from both sides regarding "leaks"
But I suspect that is all just backdoor misdirection and propaganda games.
There is this org that is clearly run by western institutions but they do seem to be intent on providing a counter narrative to the standard American one.

Could you point me to information or sources that you trust regarding the conflict? I have found it increasingly difficult to trust anything I hear these days.
Thanks!
It proves there's a difference between a war and a genocide, with said genocide being complementary to settler colonialism too.
Could you explain in depth what do you mean here? Are you referring to Russia?
No no, I mean just because Ukraine never stated they were "this thing" That joining a western cause is by extension a colonial cause. So the difference to some extent, from Ukraine and From Israel, is saying the quiet part out loud and of course. That Russia can fight back.
