Russia Suffering Highest Daily Casualty Rate Since First Week Of Ukraine War, Says UK
MSN ^ | Feb 12 | Kevin Schofield

Russia is suffering its highest daily casualty rate in Ukraine since the start of the war, according to UK officials.

Vladimir Putin’s forces are losing 824 troops a day as the first anniversary of the start of the conflict approaches, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) believes.

In the first week of the war, Moscow was suffering an average of 1,140 casualties a day, figures compiled by the general staff of the Ukraine army suggested.

That dropped to 173 a day last July, but has been climbing steadily since then.

In their latest intelligence update on the war, the MoD said: “Over the past two weeks, Russia has likely suffered its highest rate of casualties since the first week of the invasion of Ukraine.

“The Ukrainian general staff release daily statistics on Russian casualties. Although defence intelligence cannot verify Ukraine’s methodology, the trends the data illustrate are likely accurate.

“The mean average for the last seven days was 824 casualties per day, over four times the rate reported over June-July 2022. Ukraine also continues to suffer a high attrition rate.

“The uptick in Russian casualties is likely due to a range of factors including lack of trained personnel, coordination, and resources across the front – this is exemplified in Vuhledar and Bakhmut.”

If you are a Wagner/Yevgeny Prigozhin zombie/ living dead convict recruit. Going in on a Bad Vlad Putin human wave at Ukie trenches and fortifications...... Yeah 99% chance you will be mowed down by Ukrainian Army.

Rooskies get my vote for most Mongolian barbarian army ever. Outside of Genghis Khan and his sons. And the Conon the barbarian movies.

Putin doesn’t care how many Russians die. It is all about Putin remaining in power while he destroys Russia

Same as ultra paranoid Stalin and rationally paranoid Saddam Hussien. Vlad Putin learned from both and idolized Stalin many times. What Putin learned from Saddam is how to avoid assassination by a few rings of loyalist palace guards.

Putin's Russia made crazy undeserved profits as the gas station for industrialized Germany and Europe/ But Putin was a bored fake Tsar. So he invaded Georgia, Crimea, Donbas, Ukraine. And currently subverting Moldova near the jewel Odessa. Putin's ultimate jewel is Odessa.

Any reports on Ukrainian killed and wounded or is this a one sided war? I have a hard time believing anything that is reported about this war. We know the Ukrainians are losing men but we never see the numbers reported. Too bad we can’t trust our government or the media to tell us anything resembling the truth. China should send Biden another check for weakening our military while they are probing our defenses for weakness.

The truth...about Ukraine and the rest of this societal bs brought to you by the democrat/republican deep swamp. We will fight to the last Ukrainian and get to sell them “stuff” to rebuild and “stuff” to blow sh#t up.

Those who know the real numbers for both sides is not keen on talking about them.

The US learned from Viet Nam kill count numbers would become politicized. During both Gulf Wars the US and allies did not talk about Iraqi losses until later.

Russia does not want bad press getting out, although their own citizens know its bad. 200 to 900 thousand have not left Russia for nothing.

Ukrainian losses are irrelevant

they’re fighting for the survival of their country, against a monster ... any losses are bearable (and necessary)

what’s Russia fighting for?

to save the wanna-be-Tsar’s tattered reputation?

God bless Russia in their war against globalists, plutocrats and pedophiles, and against the evil and corrupt governments of the world who are the puppets of evil and corrupt men.

‘We’ve even got a shortage of bullets’: Fears Britain’s armed forces are too small to combat Russia as Nato chiefs ask Germany to stay in charge of ‘rapid-reaction force’
By GLEN OWEN and DAN HODGES

11 February 2023

Nato chiefs fear Britain’s military forces are so overstretched that they are not fit to be on the front line of the defence against Russia, sources have claimed.

The UK is due to take over leadership of Nato’s rapid-reaction force from Germany at the end of the year. But reports in the German media, backed up by Ministry of Defence sources in the UK, claim that Nato has asked Berlin to remain in charge for an extra year because Britain cannot spare the 5,000 personnel required.

Apparently, Wager sends human waves of criminal recruits, to find out where the Ukes are located. Then counters with artillery

The Ukrainians use different tactics - their attacks are based on ‘shoot and run’

There is a saying - America is willing to fight Russia down to the last Ukrainian.
