The silver lining may be Russia going over 1,000 casualties again.
The Russians received word of the trip, we are informed—and presumably the threat, stated or implied, that they would get a violent and overwhelming response if they attempted to interfere with it. For a leader obsessed with strength, like Putin, that is a blow. His own people will quietly or openly ask, “Why could we not prevent this?” And the answer, unstated, will have to be,“Because we were afraid.”

Biden Just Destroyed Putin’s Last Hope
The president’s visit to Ukraine was a gut punch to the Russian leader.
I think they were saying it was a 10 hour trip each way. That may be their version of Presidential travel called Railforce 1
I get the feeling after this visit that Russia has a serious ass-kicking coming its way, that this was one last opportunity for Putin to see that he can't win.
Seeing that they're still firing missiles, Putin doesn't get it

The leadership shown by Biden is simply incredible by anyone's interpretation.
For all his faults, there is no other person that I would want leading the effort.
And FVCK Russia.

Many songs will be sung in their honor, the great defenders of Russia.

I don’t understand this. 16k? I thought Mariupol alone would be over 16k.
Ummm…she’s hot and all but that’s a bat shit crazy statement. NATO needs to take control of Moscow?

She is not wrong, however the wording of the statement is horribly horribly bad.
Leaders of NATO members shouldn’t be saying that…

Consider the source. That is a pro-Russian account. Look at the rest of the tweets. Note that there is no link and no way to determine if that is even a legitimate quote.
I highly doubt it is.

Those would be considered unknown for now. RussoNazi occupied territory how would anyone be able to get an accurate account?
Usually there is a statement about the actual civilian deaths being believed to be much higher. FWIW I wouldn't be surprised if it is ten times that amount, just based on the destruction and fighting in the larger cities.
"OHCHR believes that the actual figures are considerably higher, as the receipt of information from some locations where intense hostilities have been going on has been delayed and many reports are still pending corroboration. This concerns, for example, Mariupol (Donetsk region), Lysychansk, Popasna, and Sievierodonetsk (Luhansk region), where there are allegations of numerous civilian casualties.
Civilian casualties from 1 to 12 February 2023(individual cases verified by OHCHR)"
