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.

“Ukraine will receive about 3.5 million artillery shells this year -2 million from European countries and 1.5 million from the Czech program.”
That’s almost 10,000 per day - a plentiful rate of supply, just by itself.
...if only they actually deliver this time.
The Czechs have been great, but the Europeans generally have some credibility problems, when it comes to fulfilling their commitments.
BREAKING: ZELENSKY SAYS IN INTERVIEW THAT UKRAINE WON'T RECOGNIZE U.S. MILITARY AID AS LOANS— Election Wizard (@ElectionWiz) March 28, 2025
And nothing from the United States.
This is what I voted for.
That's it - ITS OVER!!!
Ukraine may have squeaked by Russia's Tank Armies and Oreshnik Wonder Missiles, but Putin's patience has finally run out. He is finally taking the gloves off, and unleashing Russia's invincible GAZ-69s. The Earth will shake with terror, until all bow down to their Lord Putin. Don't try his patience any further, or he might unleash the GAZ-69 on you next!
“Footage of a Russian Pantsir SAM system repeatedly launching missiles into the ground”
Perhaps it was trying to look unimportant, so as to not draw fire to itself...
✊ This was agreed during negotiations with allies in Paris.

The EU is stepping up to the plate...exactly what President Trump wants.
“Rubio stated that ending the war in Ukraine will take as long as it takes” (not necessarily 100 days)
If nothing else, at least the mechanisms for negotiating peace will be established (people assigned and spun up), when they are needed. Maybe that can also serve to help manage potential escalation risks, when things start crapping out in earnest for the Russian Military and economy, or they experience a domestic political crisis of some sort.
The U.S. has historically provided significant aid to Ukraine, with the EU contributing 65% as grants and the rest as loans, while Ukraine faces a $411 billion reconstruction cost over a decade, per a 2023 World Bank estimate.
Zelenskyy's stance reflects Ukraine's historical corruption challenges, as noted in a Wikipedia entry, despite progress since 2015, with a 2023 Transparency International score of 36, ranking it 104th globally.
“Russian control of Zherebets salient are now believed to be shrinking. Zero Lines in vicinity of Zarichene and Torske also reassessed.”
It does seem that the offensive that the Russians launched in the months leading up to Trump’s inauguration has run out of steam.
The mud season should be in full swing now, so I would not expect to see much big movement in the coming weeks, but Russia does seem to have lost the initiative, despite continuing to sacrifice a high rate of casualties, and taking lots of Artillery losses.
The 100 day mark (of this Trump Administration, around May Day) would fall just after Easter (April 20th, in both the Western and Orthodox calendars this year), which has also been floated as a potential goal for a ceasefire agreement. If there is no agreement by then, the mud should be drying out, and we will likely be ready for the next phase of Operations on the ground, whatever that might be.
“A trap? That is one way to put it, more like giving one enough rope to hang oneself... he (Putin) took that as a sign of weakness”
Well said. I think that is the bottom line. Russia needs to settle the war before they break their economy, or Europe’s Military buildup blows past Russian capability to intimidate.
You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink. The trap is allowing Russia to punch itself out, bleed itself dry, before forcing it to stop.
“+122 Artillery”
If not the record, it is up near to it.
Ukrainians seem to have dialed in significant counter-battery capability.
Artillery is the “King of Battle”. Dominating Artillery generally means dominating the battlefield.
China should be tied or close to Russia’s level of corruption, except for their propaganda which keeps them from the bottom dwellers.
“The EU is stepping up to the plate...exactly what President Trump wants.”
And as they should. It is a painful process like pulling teeth, but significant movement has occurred. Credit to President Trump, for making this happen.
“Can this be right? Russia is more corrupt than Congo and Iran!”
...and way more than Ukraine.

🇺🇸🇺🇦 ZELENSKY WAS FORCED INTO WAR BY USAID NGOs!
As Arestovich said: "Ukraine was hired, like Indians, for a typhus blanket for the war with Russia"
Less than a month after Zelensky won the election, 70 Ukrainian USAID funded NGOs presented him with a memorandum on red lines he… pic.twitter.com/4kSdLguDrO— Lord Bebo (@MyLordBebo) February 4, 2025
