Yes, but a politician who attended a secret (apparently not so secret) briefing.
"“We were informed that more than 75,000 Russians were either killed or injured, which is enormous,” Elissa Slotkin, a Democratic House Representative who previously attended a secret US government briefing told CNN."
That's (75K) the US estimate as of today https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2022/jul/28/russia-ukraine-war-live-news-kyiv-region-hit-by-rocket-attack-governor-says-fight-to-liberate-kherson-has-begun-ukraine-claims
Yes, for sure, and I definitely lean towards articles that are painting this war in a favourable light for the Ukrainians. With that said here is today's great Twitter read from someone who has a much much larger following and it is very promising indeed...
Not sure if this summary has been posted, I thought it was a good read Logistics Collapse - https://nadinbrzezinski.medium.com/logistics-collapse-945984f5d48e
So many promising points made in this post and this one is my favourite.

Wet shave with dirt cheap safety razor blades. Doubt I spend $5 a year on blades anymore, took a few tries to get the hang of it, can't see me going back to expensive razors ever again.
It's a big one, 6 dead so far, 31 injured, suspect at large... Niece just came back from Highland Park yesterday, thank God she didn't stay for the parade.
In Burlington but the purse was left in a town called Arthur. She once left her purse in a Taco Bell washroom in downtown Hamilton for about an hour before we realized it was missing. Same result, everything still there, nothing taken.
I was getting there, then yesterday my wife left her purse on a sidewalk table outside an ice cream shop we had stopped at. We drove home and didn't realize it was missing for another 6 hours. Went back to the ice cream shop this morning and the purse was turned in with everything still inside...
On holiday about 30 years ago a friend of my Dad's took me up for my first ever flight in a 2 seater plane. Everything went fine, however the next time he took the plane up it crashed and was found upside down in Lake Ontario. Dad's friend was reported as dead (presumed drowned) on all of the...
Damaged Russian warship Moskva has sunk - Russian ministry
Russia’s defence ministry has put out a statement to say its Moskva missile cruise ship has sunk in the Black Sea off southern Ukraine.
It’s still unclear whether it was hit by Ukrainian weaponry.

Glad you are progressing with your injury. I decided to test it out with a gentle bike ride of 22km and it felt fine, a bit sore the next day, but I think that's from lack of use. Think I'll go on a few more bike rides to build some strength and then ease back with the couch to 5k routine...
Question. A long while back I tore my medial meniscus. After much rest and physiotherapy my physio tells me I can ease back into running again. Problem is, I can't seem to pull the trigger and try it out other than a few cautious runs across intersections. Can anyone who has come back from...
Almost 2/3rds of the 2016 total vote have already voted in Florida. Republicans down 350K and exit polls showing undecided favoring Biden 60-40*. May not be enough votes out there come election day https://electproject.github.io/Early-Vote-2020G/FL.html
Apparently Florida does count votes...

Democrats requested 1,590,440 mail in ballots
Republicans requested 580,392 mail in ballots
No affiliation...
Might be his last real hope, his re-election campaign bled money long before the election build up started. They trail the Democrats badly in new money coming in. He clearly can't debate well. A Hail Mary 'the poor sod almost died' sympathy vote might be the only chance of new votes he has...
