This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When a vehicle is captured and then lost in service with its new owners, it is only added as a loss of the original operator to avoid double listings. When the origin of a piece of equipment can't be established, it's not included in the list. The Soviet flag is used when the equipment in question was produced prior to 1991. This list is constantly updated as additional footage becomes available.

You are the only one bothered so it’s your problem not mine 😉
Agreed and some well placed republicans as well
It’s interesting that the republicans get cast as the party of war, but
WW1 Wilson democrat and racist
Ww2 FDR democrat
Korea Truman democrat ended under a republican
Vietnam JFK democrat ended under Nixon republican
Both parties have Reagan, Bush, but democrats are certainly not the party of “no wars”
Interesting, reference my topic of the “intellectual” elite who can mot admit they are wrong😂
Кремлевская табакерка
Putin and Trump talks. The Kremlin talks about Victory, and Belousov is upset
We have collected the first reactions to the telephone conversation between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump. We are sharing them with you.
A source in the Kremlin praised the president for his conversation with his American counterpart. “Vladimir Vladimirovich conducted the conversation brilliantly. Now we are waiting for Trump to force Kiev to stop mobilization and stop supplying weapons to the Kiev regime. And then there will be new strong steps towards Victory. And pay attention - there were fears that Trump would force Vladimir Vladimirovich to agree to a truce without additional conditions. It didn’t work out!” he said joyfully.
At the same time, the channel’s patriotic interlocutor in the Kremlin, who had previously complained about not understanding what our Victory in the SVO would be in light of the negotiations with the Americans, admitted that he was “completely confused.” The Defense Ministry is also reacting ambiguously. “We were preparing a serious blow to Ukraine’s energy sector, Andrey Removich prayed a lot for the accuracy of our missiles and drones, as always . We are refusing to strike the energy sector for now . It turns out that the minister prayed in vain? Andrey Removich is upset,” a source in the ministry told us. At the same time, he believes that if Ukraine is forced to stop mobilization and left without Western weapons, “this will be a very significant step towards Russia’s victory.”

The Russian government has reported that mortality rates in Russia rose 3.3 percent from 2023 to 2024, with deaths rising from 1.76 million to 1.82 million (https://fedstat.ru/indicator/33556), but the To Be Precise portal suggests that a better measure of the trend is between deaths expected on the basis of the stable 2013-2019 period and 2024.
If that comparison is made, the portal says, Russia suffered 130,000 more deaths in 2024 than demographic models had projected, an increase of 7.8 percent from 2023. Many of these “excess” deaths may be combat losses in Putin’s war in Ukraine, although the available data are insufficient to confirm that (https://t.me/tochno_st/448).
Death data arrayed by age and gender have not yet been released, but data for regions have. They show that five federal subjects last year had “excess mortality, 30 percent of more above projections — Tyva, the Altai, the Nenets AD, the Yamalo-Nenets AD, and Ingushetia. Deaths in North Ossetia, Leningrad Oblast, Kaluga Oblast Moscow and Adygeya were below expectations.

Not peace but victory, all you need to know
“Russian economy in freefall as mortgage costs triple and mass layoffs cripple major firms”
To that, I would add cascading bankruptcies.
“There will be no profit cushion”
I am also bothered by your repeatedly spamming the same scurrilous meme, insulting the United States (under President Trump’s leadership).
Spamming, insulting, stalking, trolling. I find much/most of your posting offensive, in bad taste, and in violation of the rules and spirit of the forum, as I understand them.
Russian President Vladimir Putin did not accept the US-Ukrainian proposal for a temporary ceasefire along the frontline and reiterated his demands for a resolution to the war that amount to Ukrainian capitulation.[1] Putin and US President Donald Trump held a phone call on March 18.[2] The Kremlin's official readout of the call stated that Putin emphasized the need to address the “root causes” of the war.[3] Russian officials have repeatedly defined these root causes as NATO's eastward expansion and Ukraine's alleged violations of the rights of Russian-speaking minorities in Ukraine. Russian officials’ calls for the elimination of these “root causes” amount to Russian demands for Ukraine's permanent neutrality and the installation of a pro-Russian government in Kyiv.[4]
Putin demanded on March 18 that Ukraine stop mobilizing (i.e. recruiting and training) forces during a potential temporary ceasefire. Putin also called for a halt to all foreign military aid and intelligence sharing with Ukraine but did not discuss Russia's military support from North Korea, the People's Republic of China (PRC), and Iran.[5] Putin claimed that Russia and the United States should continue their efforts toward a peace settlement in “bilateral mode,” excluding Ukraine or Europe from future negotiations about the war in Ukraine. Putin's demands on the March 18 call parallel the demands he made on March 13.[6]
ISW continues to assess that Putin is attempting to hold the temporary ceasefire proposal hostage in order to extract preemptive concessions ahead of formal negotiations to end the war.[7] ISW also continues to assess that Putin's demands for the removal of the legitimate government of Ukraine, the weakening of the Ukrainian military such that it cannot defend against future Russian aggression, and the denial of Ukraine's sovereignty and independence remain unchanged.[8] The persistence of Putin's demands for Ukraine's capitulation demonstrates that Putin is not interested in good-faith negotiations to pursue Trump's stated goal of achieving a lasting peace in Ukraine.
Trump and Putin agreed on a temporary moratorium on long-range strikes against energy infrastructure, but the exact contours of the moratorium remain unclear at this time. The Kremlin stated that Putin accepted Trump's proposal for a 30-day moratorium on strikes against “energy infrastructure” and that Putin “immediately gave the Russian military the corresponding order,” whereas the White House stated that Putin and Trump agreed to “an energy and infrastructure ceasefire.”[9] It is unclear which targets are explicitly prohibited under the 30-day moratorium given the difference in language between the two readouts of the call.
The Kremlin also stated that Putin “informed” Trump that Russia and Ukraine will each exchange 175 prisoners of war (POWs) on March 19 and that Russia will also transfer 23 seriously wounded Ukrainian soldiers, whom Putin claimed are currently undergoing medical treatment in Russian hospitals, as a “gesture of goodwill.” The March 11 US-Ukrainian temporary ceasefire proposal stated that Ukrainian and American delegations discussed POW exchanges as part of the peace process, particularly during a potential temporary ceasefire on the frontline.[10] The White House stated on March 18 that Russia and the United States will “immediately” begin negotiations in an unspecified country in the Middle East about a temporary maritime ceasefire in the Black Sea, a “full ceasefire,” and a permanent peace settlement.[11] The Kremlin stated that the United States and Russia are creating “expert groups” to continue efforts to achieve a peace settlement “in bilateral mode.”[12]
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky endorsed the Trump-Putin energy strikes moratorium agreement on March 18 and said that Ukraine expects to receive additional information from Trump about the proposal.[13] Zelensky stated that Ukraine would not accept a situation in which Russia strikes Ukrainian energy infrastructure and Ukraine is unable to respond.
Putin continues to hold the temporary ceasefire hostage, likely to extract further concessions from US President Donald Trump and delay or spoil negotiations for an enduring peace in Ukraine. Putin rejected a temporary ceasefire in the Black Sea but agreed to participate in negotiations on such an agreement, which Putin will likely use to delay or spoil negotiations for a permanent peace agreement.[14] Putin also did not accept the US-Ukrainian temporary frontline ceasefire and continued to cite concerns that call back to his pre-war demands amounting to Ukraine's total capitulation and regime change. The Kremlin readout stated that Putin and Trump discussed the development of bilateral economic and energy cooperation, though White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that future US-Russian relations would include “enormous economic deals...only when peace has been achieved.”[15]
Putin spoke at the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs Congress before his call with Trump on March 18 and claimed that some Western companies that left Russia following the February 2022 full-scale invasion now seek to return or are taking steps to return to Russia and that Russia will consider this return through the lens of prioritizing Russian businesses.[16] Putin ordered the Russian Cabinet of Ministers to create a procedure for Western businesses to return to Russia.[17] Putin is likely attempting to bypass the Trump administration's stated conditions of concluding economic deals after achieving peace in Ukraine by extracting concessions for sanctions relief or other economic concessions in preliminary talks for a temporary ceasefire in Ukraine, as other Kremlin officials have attempted in recent weeks.[18]
The Russian military is reportedly increasing the number of its information and psychological operations units. Ukraine's Main Military Intelligence Directorate (GUR) reported on March 18 that Russia is expanding the number of information and psychological operations units, particularly within the 3rd Combined Arms Army (CAA, formerly 2nd Luhansk People's Republic Army Corps [LNR AC], Southern Military District [SMD]) and 51st CAA (formerly 1st Donetsk People's Republic [DNR] AC, SMD).[70] The Russian military is reportedly training the new units at the Military Academy of the Russian General Staff in Moscow City and the Mozhaisky Military-Space Academy in St. Petersburg. Head of the Ukrainian Center for Countering Disinformation Lieutenant Andriy Kovalenko stated that Russia is increasing its information and psychological operation units in order to intensify its informational war against Ukraine, Europe, the United States, the Middle East, and Asia.[71]

I see Zeeper tempers are growing short as your Ukraine Projects collapses in on itself. Told you so. I find it scurrilous that you ignore the daily pictures of War Porn posted on this thread and instead throw a child-like tantrum over non-specific satire. Grow up BeauBo, when it comes to standing in the way of a policy of endless war, memes make for a wonderful tool.
