====No one believes this "Ukrainian Nazi regime" shibboleth any longer===
bullshit...
it is clearly visible and only stupid people don't see it... just open Google-maps and read names on renamed streets in Kiyev... Shushkevych avenue... Shushkevich is hero for these Nazi bastards
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Shukhevych
You should read the Wikipedia article more carefully, as although it states that he was a collaborator it never states that he belonged to the Nazi party. The Kyiv City Council 2017 decision to rename the former General Vatutin Avenue into Roman Shukhevych Avenue was passed by a 69 to 51 vote, which hardly signals overwhelming support for the idea that Shukhevych is a national hero (

"Russian security services threatened the families of Wagner forces to get them to back down, report says." Given that the EU and US have imposed sanctions on two of Prigozhin's children and his wife, which limit their capacity to travel outside Russia, he had reason to worry (
https://www.businessinsider.com/russ...legraph-2023-6). Once again: Western mass media may write whatever, but nobody of them was there. So it is pure speculations.
Provide a link to one Russian mass media outlet that has denied this "pure speculation." The Moscow Times (
https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2023/...legraph-a81642) repeated the information, Although the Moscow Times noted that "it was not possible to independently verify the report’s claims," it did not deny the possibility that Russian intelligence agencies had made threats to harm the families of Wagner mercenary group leaders.
===Given that the Russian Defense Ministry does not report on the number of soldiers killed or wounded in its war on Ukraine, from where do you get your information?====
Why you are talking about number of killed. We are talking about number of soldiers in Russian army, and this number is published yearly by Putin's decree. Example
http://publication.pravo.gov.ru/Docu...01202208250004
Well, given previous Russian figures on the number of men called up to fight in this war which, as a special military operation which was supposed to last only three days, and then when one subtracts the numbers of those killed or injured, the number of living men capable of fighting is severely diminished. For example, although Russian sources do not give the numbers of Russian soldiers killed, Ukrainian sources report that some 200,590 Russian troops were "liquidated" in the 15 months since the beginning of the war. Western sources are more conservative in their estimates of the number of Russian dead, but still suggest that the figure is more like 100,000. An assessment by the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency that was leaked in April found that Russia had suffered 189,500-223,000 total casualties, including 35,500-43,000 dead and 154,000-180,000 wounded (
https://www.newsweek.com/how-russia-...kraine-1800426). Given, too, that not all members of a country's army are not foot soldiers - "40% of service members do NOT see combat, and of the remaining 60%, only 10% to 20% are deployed into the combat premise. Plus, the majority of these members enter the arena as supporting units" (
https://www.thesoldiersproject.org/w...y-sees-combat/). So the numbers published in an annual decree of August 25, 2022 are meaningless in June 2023.
===You never provide links to the sources of your information - or disinformation, as the case may be.===
Sure, why should I do it? It is public information, anyone may find it in searchengines.
