The Ukrainian Ministry of Protection has swag.
Within the midst of a profitable counterattack within the north — the place Ukrainian forces pushed 30 miles into occupied territory –, the ministry boasted its newest tally of Russian kills with a lyric from Bronx-born rapper Pusha T: “I put numbers on the boards.”
“Nice style in music for the win…” the rapper, also referred to as King Push, replied.
Ukraine’s staggering estimate — 50,000 Russian troops “eradicated” — is most probably a mixture of these each killed and wounded.
Western intelligence providers estimated roughly 15,000 Russians are prone to have been killed in motion as of late July — and as many as 45,000 wounded.
Neither aspect has been forthcoming with its personal casualty figures, although Ukraine hinted that some 9,000 Ukrainian troops had been killed throughout a memorial ceremony final month.

However Ukraine has reliably posted its wins for the world to see — often with irreverent pop-culture aptitude.
In late August, as Kyiv’s counteroffensive started in earnest, the ministry tipped its hat to 80s London pop duo Bananarama, saying “It’s a merciless, merciless summer time.”
Final week, when President Volodymyr Zelensky introduced the liberation of two Ukrainian cities within the Donbas, the ministry channeled Cohen Brother’s everyman Jeffrey Lebowski, including “This aggression won't stand, man.”
And on Tuesday, when, unbeknownst to most, Ukrainian troops had been making ready to shock Russian occupiers within the Donbas, a succinct abstract courtesy of an M. Night time Shyamalan thriller:
“I see lifeless individuals.”
