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.

Like most posts by the Kremlin run "Sprinter" accounts and those who spread their anti-US propaganda, this one is a lie. The actual quote was:
"The era of uncontested US dominance is over. Today we face serious threats in China, Russia and other nations determined to beat us in every single domain; from spectrum to low earth orbit to supply chains to even our communication infrastructure."
It was actually a call to arms in what was a very good speech to the US Naval Academy's Class of 2025. It's easy to find on online, and provides a more accurate insight to JD's views than the Kremlin.
US President Donald Trump stated that Russia may have territorial ambitions beyond Ukraine — consistent with ISW’s long-held assessments that Russia is preparing for a future conflict with NATO and setting conditions to justify future aggression against non-NATO former Soviet Union states. A reporter asked Trump during a press conference at the NATO summit on June 25 whether it is possible that Russian President Vladimir Putin has territorial ambitions beyond Ukraine, and Trump responded that “it's possible.”[1] ISW has long assessed that Russia is preparing its military and society for a possible future conflict with NATO following the conclusion of the war in Ukraine, including by pursuing military reforms; integrating veterans into all levels of Russian local, regional, and federal governments; and setting rhetorical conditions to justify future aggression against NATO.[2] ISW has observed the Kremlin leverage the same rhetoric that it used against Ukraine before the start of the full-scale invasion in February 2022 to threaten NATO states.[3] The Kremlin has also specifically weaponized the concept of “compatriots abroad” — Russian-speaking populations living outside of Russia, whom Russia claims it needs to protect—to justify aggression against former Soviet states in the past.[4] The Kremlin has also promoted its concept of “Russkiy Mir” (”Russian World”) — an amorphous ideological and geographic conception that includes all of the former territories of Kyivan Rus, the Kingdom of Muscovy, the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union, and the contemporary Russian Federation and which Putin uses to frame any territories a Russian regime ruled or claimed to have ruled as Russia's “historical territories.”[5] The Kremlin has been setting informational conditions to justify potential aggression against Moldova and the Baltic states using the alleged need to protect its “compatriots abroad” and the claim that these countries are part of the “Russkiy Mir” — the same narratives that the Kremlin used to justify the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.[6] Trump's statements therefore, cohere with ISW’s fundamental assessment that Russia maintains territorial ambitions beyond Ukraine and will continue pursuing these ambitions unless Putin is forced to reconsider his theory of victory.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated in an interview with Politico published on June 25 that Russia is trying to “achieve on the battlefield what [Russia is] demanding at the negotiating table” including “control over certain territories,” but noted that this objective will be more difficult to achieve than Russia currently believes.[7] Rubio stated that Russia has suffered over 80,000 killed-in-action (KIA) since January 2025 but that Putin nevertheless continues “feeding into the war machine” and that Russia has “not shown a willingness to move forward” in peace negotiations. Rubio’s statements are consistent with ISW’s assessments that Russia has been attempting to delay the negotiation process and protract the war in order to secure additional territorial gains.[8] Russia's maximalist negotiating demands for Ukrainian territory, including significant amounts of territory that Russia does not currently occupy, represent an informational tactic intended to force territorial concessions to compensate for gains that Russia cannot achieve on the battlefield. ISW continues to assess that Russia is unwilling to engage in substantive negotiations to end the war in Ukraine in any way that falls short of acquiescing to Russia's maximalist demands, which have remained consistent since before the start of the full-scale invasion.[9]
The Kremlin continues to leverage Russian Security Council Deputy Chairperson Dmitry Medvedev’s aggressive rhetoric to undermine Western support for Ukraine. Russian Security Council Deputy Chairperson Dmitry Medvedev claimed on June 25 on his social media accounts, including his English-language channels, that the EU is becoming a politicized, “Russophobic organization...that dreams of revenge against Russia.”[10] Medvedev further accused the EU of becoming a militarized bloc that presents just as prominent a threat to Russia as NATO does, claiming that “Brussels today is Russia's true enemy” for arming Ukraine. Medvedev claimed that Ukrainian accession into the EU would endanger Russia and implied that Russia could destroy all of Ukraine to prevent this outcome. The Kremlin typically leverages Medvedev to amplify inflammatory rhetoric designed to stoke panic and fear among Western decision-makers and discourage Western provisions of aid to Ukraine.[11] Kremlin officials and affiliates have repeatedly promoted narratives that the EU is essentially a military organization like NATO.[12] The Kremlin most recently activated Medvedev to project nuclear proliferation threats following US strikes on Iran's nuclear program.[13] Medvedev’s recent comments do not represent a serious rhetorical inflection, but rather a continuation of the Kremlin's informational campaign to undermine Western support for Ukraine.
Russia is reportedly accelerating its missile production capacity with sanctions evasion support from Belarus and the People's Republic of China (PRC). Ukrainian outlet Kyiv Independent reported on June 24 that Russia's state-owned Votkinsk Plant has hired 2,500 workers, built new facilities, and imported specialized manufacturing equipment as part of efforts to expand Russia's production of Iskander-M ballistic missiles, Iskander-K cruise missiles, Yars and Bulava intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), and likely Oreshnik ballistic missiles since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.[17] The Kyiv Independent stated that an analysis of the plant's internal business operations shows that the plant sourced manufacturing equipment from companies in the PRC, Taiwan, and Belarus via private Russian intermediaries. The Kyiv Independent stated that it is unclear how many ICBMs the Votkinsk Plant is currently producing, but noted that internal documents indicate that Russia is investing in its ICBM arsenal and that the Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) ordered the Votkinsk Plant in March 2022 to fulfill a production contract for $13 million worth of parts for the Bulava ICBM by 2024. A senior official from Ukraine's Main Military Intelligence Directorate (GUR) told the Kyiv Independent that Russia is preparing for a long war and is stockpiling various types of missiles. The Kyiv Independent, citing the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI), stated that Russia increased its production of Iskander-M ballistic missiles from 250 in 2023 to 700 in 2024 and noted that its GUR source agreed with RUSI’s assessment. The Kyiv Independent reported that it received GUR intelligence in early June 2025, indicating that Russia had stockpiled roughly 600 Iskander-M ballistic missiles and 300 Iskander-K cruise missiles — a stockpile that would last about two years, should Russia maintain its current pace of strikes against Ukraine. ISW recently observed reports indicating that Russia is actively expanding and stockpiling its production of T-90M tanks, and Russia's expansion and acceleration of missile production capacity further supports ISW’s assessment that Russia is working to expand its defense industrial base (DIB) likely in preparation for a protracted war in Ukraine and a potential expanded future conflict with NATO.[18]
The United States signaled receptiveness to provisioning Ukraine with additional Patriot air defense systems—a particularly salient issue given reports of Russia's increased ballistic missile production. US President Donald Trump responded to a question during the NATO summit on June 25 on whether the United States planned to provide Ukraine with additional Patriot air defense systems by stating that the United States would “see if they can make some available.”[19] US Patriot air defense systems are vital to Ukraine's ability to defend against Russian ballistic missile strikes and will become increasingly important as Russia increases its production and stockpile of ballistic missiles, which would enable larger and more frequent ballistic missile strikes against Ukraine. ISW continues to assess that Ukraine's limited Patriot air defense systems are forcing Ukraine to make difficult decisions about which areas of Ukraine to protect.[20]

“Rubio stated that Russia has suffered over 80,000 killed-in-action (KIA) since January 2025”
Roughly 500 killed per day.
It is curious, on one hand Russia struggles to make gains, Air Force hides behind its borders, unlike Israel over Iran, Black Sea fleet is still in hiding, and yet make claims of preparation for war with “the west”.
Russian Mir is an amazing thing
Dmitry Medvedev, who, according to our information [ https://freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/4219673/posts?page=16173#16173 ] is inventing messages for the Doomsday radio station, [UVB-76] has become seriously active. Thus, as of midday on Wednesday, June 25, “Buzzer” has transmitted as many as 13 messages. According to sources close to Medvedev, “Dmitry Anatolyevich was seriously offended, and by several things at once.” In particular, by the fact that he has not been appointed prime minister in place of Mikhail Mishustin . And against this background, “the West is strengthening its position and becoming completely dangerous.”
“Therefore, Dmitry Anatolyevich, in his style, transmitted several messages. For example, he called Mishustin, who clung to his seat, a “hog-whiz.” You must admit, there is something of a hog-whiz in our still-prime minister, some elusive similarity. “Zherd” is one Western politician who is messing with us. There are other hints in the list of messages. Those who need it will understand,” said a source close to Medvedev. He also hopes that “changes will happen in Russia, and Dmitry Anatolyevich will no longer need to transmit messages using the “Buzzer.”
At the same time, all sources categorically refused to answer the question of who or what was called, for example, “Small”, “Spidoshlits” and “Narcissus” in the Doomsday Radio messages. “It's a secret for now, and it's better to just keep quiet about some things,” noted one of our interlocutors.
Near Pokrovsk, three Russians put on anti-drone cloaks, thinking they would be invisible. However, operators from the support battalion of the 59th Separate Assault Brigade still spotted them — and turned them into fireworks.

NATO CEO Rutte explains ‘daddy’…
“The 'daddy' thing, I didn't call him daddy. What I said is that sometimes in Europe, I hear sometimes countries saying, 'Hey
Mark, will the US stay with us?' And I said, that sounds a little bit

Five hundred killed per day is close to my original estimate of close to 50% killed. Then I saw newer, supposedly official figures from Russia which led to my estimate of closer to 80%+ since the meat wive program was established by their military.

Looks
Like a graph of Russians killed 🍈
Just watched a recent video on asset seizures (expropriations, Nationalization) by the Russian Government. Because they need money, they are sharply increasing the pace of expropriation of foreign investors property, and broadening the definition of foreign, to include any Russian who also holds another passport. So far this year, they have expropriated almost as much dollar value, as they did in the first three years of the war, combined.
Another indicator of Russia’s financial desperation increasing, and their other financial buffers depleting, that will induce secondary and tertiary negative effects through their economy and financial system.
