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.

Calling someone a RuZZian on FR is considered an insult.
Calling someone a Comrade on FR is considered an insult.
Summarizing this war:
A tragedy for Ukraine.
A disaster for RuZZia.
A strategic win for the USA. The biggest winner of the war.
“More than three decades after Reagan left office, most Republicans still believe that America is a force for good.”
5 more invader tanks lost.
Demilitarization, desatanization and denazification of RuZZia continues.

“Signs are growing that Ukrainian forces have penetrated the first line of Russian defenses along part of the southern front lines in Zaporizhzhia region, and are expanding a wedge in the direction of the strategic town of Tokmak.”
“Russian President Vladimir Putin won’t attend the G20 summit later this year in India, the Kremlin said Friday.”
I’ve only seen this same comment about 30 times now.
“Ukrainian drone attacks early Friday against targets in Russian-occupied Crimea appear to have caused some damage, according to both Ukrainian officials and Russian military bloggers.
Ivan Fedorov, the Ukrainian mayor of the Russian-held city of Melitopol, claimed that explosions had occurred at a military base in Perevalne near the Crimean city of Simferopol.
Federov said on the messaging app Telegram that 300 injured Russian troops were sent to a hospital in Simferopol as a result of the attack.”

“Heineken is selling its entire Russian operation ... for 1 euro”
“Norway will donate F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine, the country’s prime minister said Thursday. Norway is the third European country, along with Denmark and the Netherlands, to pledge the jets to Ukraine. Oslo had announced plans to support the training of Ukrainian personnel on F-16s in May.”
“The FBI and German investigators are probing the possible poisoning of two Russian journalists and a Russian activist based in the U.S. and Europe and critical of the Kremlin, according to people familiar with the investigations.
The three women have produced work critical of Russian President Vladimir Putin and the war in Ukraine. They described a sudden onset of symptoms including abdominal pain, headaches and fatigue.
Prosecutors in Berlin say they are investigating a complaint by Elena Kostyuchenko, who said she became suddenly ill on a train from Munich to Berlin. She sought treatment in the German capital and still experiences fatigue that prevents her from working for more than a few hours at a time, she said. A radio journalist, Irina Babloyan, said she became ill in Tbilisi, Georgia, and was also treated in Berlin.
The FBI interviewed Natalia Arno last month and officials are performing toxicology tests on her blood, the people said. Arno is a longtime activist who founded the Free Russia Foundation, which supports civic organizing and produces analyses on Russia, and now lives in Virginia.”
This reads like a World War I article crowing about one side advancing 100 yards like it was the end of the war. If the Ukrainians have only penetrated the first line out of 3 defense lines, they haven't gotten far at all. The Russians are building additional lines of defense right behind the first three.
Trench warfare proliferates when revolutions in firepower are not matched by similar advances in mobility and it results in a grueling form of warfare in which the defender holds the advantage.
The area between opposing trench lines (known as "no man's land") is fully exposed to artillery fire and missile attach from both sides. Attacks, even if successful, often sustain severe casualties.
I'm afraid the Russians are content to let the Ukrainians break themselves upon the Russian trench lines.
