The Armed Forces of Ukraine lost another 2,040 men on the weekend, the Russian Ministry of Defence claimed, bringing the casualties since the start of the Ukrainian “Counter-Offensive” to an estimated 45,000. 55% of Americans now oppose additional spending on Ukraine, CNN reported.
Russia claims to have begun counterattacking against the stalling Ukrainian “Spring Offensive”, and claims to have conquered the village of Novoselivka outside Luhansk. On Friday, Russian Defense Ministry Spokesman Lieutenant-General Igor Konashenkov claimed the Ukrainian military has lost over 43,000 troops and about 5,000 items of military hardware, since it launched its counteroffensive.
The Russian Defense Ministry does not release Russian casualty figures. According to the Ukrainian Defense Ministry, 249,110 Russian soldiers have died since the beginning of the war, while 4,232 Russian main battle tanks, 8,251 armored personnel carriers and 4,943 artillery units have been destroyed.

All part of the US’s plan to kill white people any way it can.
The Democrats don’t care how many Ukrainians have to die to cover up Democrat crimes in Ukraine.
Ukraine will be nice and empty, and easy to repopulate with Klaus Schwab desperate 3rd world migrants, easily controlled by Davos Globohomo

Guess Guy never meet Joe Biden…,
The more the Russians clobber the totally corrupt sleazy Ukraine, the happier I am.
It’s really a tragedy. Once again, countries of Christians slaughtering one another.
What is\was the population of Donbass originally anyhow?
Hillary sez “Steele Dossier”!!!
Every stupid Democrat at Yahoo bought into that lie.
They all bought it because CNN and MSNBC said it was true.
Hook, Line and Sinker.
I saw their comments.
🤦🤦♂️🤦♀️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♀️🤦🤦♀️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
The planners of this “offensive” need to be tried for gross incompetence. The Russians managed to stop and defeat the Wehrmacht. They didn’t have Milley and his Rainbow Coalition, fortunately.
Cannon fodder.
The Russian Defense Ministry is a reliable source?
“Ukraine Loses 2,040 Men”
Where are all the feminists, the Barbie lovers, the HR departments?
I’m singing Erika. I can see Moscow from the front?
Smells like a bipartisan victory.
I want a statement from Nuland and Lindsey Graham
It’s heartbreaking, isn’t it? Those are all real people who loved other people and people love them. And they were destroyed and their families are shattered for what?
I’m with President Trump on this. “I want everybody to stop dying. Russians and Ukrainians, I want them to stop dying.”

From the administration mouthpiece, the NYTs, this morning.
“The Ukrainian military does not release numbers of dead and wounded, but Oleksandr acknowledged that his brigade had taken heavy casualties in the first days of the counteroffensive in June, when his troops ran into minefields and came under an onslaught of Russian artillery and airstrikes. He did not dwell on the fighting, but he said that for many of his troops it was their first time in battle and a brutal introduction.
“I lost a lot,” he said, “and some of the new guys are mentally broken.” As for the destruction of tanks and armored vehicles, he shrugged it off as a normal consequence of war.
Those heavy early losses led to public recriminations in Ukraine, most notably from a popular soldier and blogger, Valerii Markus, who wrote a Facebook post accusing his superior officers of incompetence and of a careless disregard for the morale of the soldiers.
Ukraine’s top commander, Gen. Valery Zaluzhny, also spoke out, chiding NATO allies for expecting Ukraine to succeed in an operation without air superiority, something that they would never have contemplated attempting themselves.”
Last year’s Uke army has been buried. The Russians are in the process of burying the replacement army of young, innocent Ukrainian boys. Anyone who supports this needless slaughter is beyond contempt.
I'm betting NOT one of the sons of the corrupt people who paid off Hunter and Joe are dead.
Ukraine's corrupt 'elites' are like our corrupt elites... They get the 'sweetheart deals' from their thugs in 'justice'... they're sons are safe. Just like Hunter is 'safe'... the goons in DOJ will make damn sure of that.
The Russians said it, count of their Freeper puppets to trumpet it from every mountain top.
Probably a better source than the Ukrainian Defense Ministry.
Although I really don’t trust either.
