This is not accurate. It was in the news report today that the casualties are around 30 soldiers per day. Or… did you count all the civilians to your numbers because you used the word “people”?

News reports clearly state that Ukraine is losing at least 200 soldiers every day. This is what Ukraine themselves says. This doesn't include other casualties which result in additional troops being taken out of combat. If you're going to lie, at least try to find something that can't be googled in a couple of seconds.

You are again claiming that geopolitics isn’t about trust, which is false.

Diplomacy can never be based on trust. If you really don't understand why then I don't know what else to tell you.

And how is that a compromise where bending the knee is the only options east provides?

That's the option that the west has been providing for the past 30 years. Now you get to reap what you sowed. The west does not have the strength to challenge Russia. This means that the west has no hope to challenge China which has a far bigger industrial base. Either the west learns how to talk to countries it doesn't like and to find compromises or it will bend the knee. You can keep screeching here all you like, but that won't change the facts.
