16 posts held, back to 27 October 2023 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 pageof Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 16 posts for this entry, the most recent from 4 December 2023. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
405 reactions across 16 posts, in 3 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 76.3% of them.
| Reaction | Count | Share | Share, drawn |
|---|---|---|---|
| 👍 | 309 | 76.3% | |
| 👎 | 68 | 16.8% | |
| 👏 | 28 | 6.91% |
No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 16 of the 16 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 405reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 16 most recent posts we hold, published 27 October 2023 to 4 December 2023, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.
С 24 февраля 2022 года по ноябрь 2023 года официальные силы Минобороны России, вероятно, потеряли от 180 000 до 240 000 военнослужащих ранеными и около 50 000 убитыми. Наёмники группы Вагнера, вероятно, потеряли около 40 000 раненых и 20 000 убитых. Поэтому, российская сторона, вероятно, потеряла около 220 000–280 000 раненых и около 70 000 убитыми. Таким образом, потери российских комбатантов оцениваются в диапазон…

В течение ноября 2023 года потери россиян, по данным украинского Генерального штаба, составляют в среднем 931 человек в день. Ранее самым смертоносным месяцем для России был март 2023 года: в среднем было 776 потерь в день. Это было в разгар нападения России на Бахмут. Хотя DI не может проверить методологию, поскольку она принимается за общее количество убитых и раненых, цифры вполне правдоподобны. За последние шес…

Российские силы в Украине продолжают нести массовые потери в результате украинских высокоточных ударов на большой дистанции далеко за линией фронта. 10 ноября 2023 года более 70 российских военнослужащих вероятно погибли в результате удара по колонне грузовиков в 23 км от линии фронта в селе Гладковка, Херсонской области. Потом, 19 ноября 2023 года, удар по российским военнослужащим, которые приссуствовали на церемо…

7 ноября 2023 года жены российских солдат провели, вероятно, первый публичный уличный протест в Москве после вторжения в Украину. Протестующие собрались на центральной Театральной площади и развернули баннеры с требованием отвести своих партнеров от линии фронта. С февраля 2022 года в социальных сетях ежедневно появляются примеры того, как российские жены и матери подают онлайн-обращения с протестом против условий с…

The illegal and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine is continuing. Defence Intelligence can confirm the following updates on Ukraine from the week commencing 13 November 2023. Monday: In March 2023, a Russian Telegram news channel reported there was an ‘extremely high’ number of incidents, crimes and deaths related to alcohol abuse amongst deployed Russian forces. This was followed up in late September 2023 by a report f…

Thursday: Over the last week, Russian forces have continued attacks towards outlying villages of the contested town of Avdiivka, Donetsk Oblast. Russia is almost certainly attempting a pincer movement to encircle the town. Avdiivka has been fought over for nearly a decade and holds political importance to Russia given its proximity to Donetsk city. Recent advances have likely brought Russian forces close to the Ukra…

В сентябре 2023 года независимое российское СМИ «Верцка» сообщило, что до 15% российских солдат в Украине употребляют наркотики, в том числе амфетамины и каннабис, и что их легко добыть даже на линии фронта. Эти сообщения заслуживают доверия. Они следят за многочисленными сообщениями после вторжения о большом количестве дисциплинарных происшествий, преступлений и смертей, связанных со злоупотреблением алкоголем сре…

Showing the 12 most recent of 16 posts we hold for @UKMinistryofDefence. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.

One Wikipedia article names this handle in its article text, found by searching for a t.me link inside the article source.
