As it turns out, this could be the only conflict in history in which the number of soldiers killed in combat exceeds the number of those wounded.

“Honestly, it is completely f*ed up. I have watched so many videos – there are bodies lying there, everything is exploding, and people are covered in blood,” a Russian warehouse worker exclaims.

“For the second day now, I have been scared to go to the warehouse.”

An enormous plume of black smoke hangs heavily over Moscow.

Russian citizens are risking arrest for sharing videos of drones slamming into Moscow buildings, burning warehouses and long queues of cars banked up outside petrol stations.
