In the articles it describes how the russian politicians responsible are getting flak and trying to backpeddle/cover up the issue so clearly language works here.
Shortly after the start of the conflict, Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov gave the families of deceased servicemen sacks of potatoes and onions, along with a bottle of oil.
These Russian politicians look at "those plebs" exactly like how ceos look at workers. Amazing.

Look at how thrilled they are to receive their reminder that their sons were sent into a metaphorical meat grinder.
Assuming this is real, this just adds one more thing for Russia to be ashamed of

Near as I can tell, TVPWorld is not a parody news site. It should probably have been posted to NottheOnion instead.

Besides asking if it is real, shouldn't we be asking if "meat grinder" carries the same connotation in the Russian language.

Yes, the word is used for both meanings. I doubt ruskies are using it to describe their tactics, though.
