Sputnik International (Russian state-sponsored media)
Russian Defense Ministry: Ukraine Lost Over 1,700 Soldiers in 2 Days of Counterattack (The attacking force is estimated at 12,000. Do the math. "To decimate" means to reduces by a tenth. The attacking force was apparently more than "decimated" in the first couple of days.)

The Cradle
Ukraine: Somewhere between Afghanization and Syrianization ("By now it’s abundantly clear this is not a mere war of territorial conquest.
