The update by the Ministry of Defence added that the heavy losses would likely continue as Russia looked to make gains across the front lines in Ukraine.

“The average daily Russian casualties (killed and wounded) in Ukraine, throughout May and June 2024, increased to conflict highs of 1,262 and 1,163 respectively,” the MoD wrote.

What nonsense as usual by you.

If the war was going the way Russia wanted, it would have been won two years ago.

Yahoo is probably more credible than anything that comes from the Ukraine Defense Minister. But, that isn’t saying much.

As is so often the case, the numbers are prob close but the countries suffering those losses …have been transposed by Keev.

No one asks Keev which of its frontline units and weapon systems achieved those numbers and how they were counted. There are no large scale ( beyond BN level) ops going on that I’ve seen reported, some Uke officers themselves say they are at 30% or less strength.

Communists on the other hand, are bureaucratic bean counters and that persists in the state bureaucracies of the RF. Their daily MoD briefing gives details by unit and sector, by body count and enemy weapon destruction.

The Ukes have now gone up to losses of about 2k men per day, so about 14k per week. The FAB attacks have gotten larger, are relentless, plus Russians dominate in artillery and missiles, which are taking out Uke troop concentrations anywhere the intel leads them.

Zelensky knows. That’s why he is talking peace and begging other countries to negotiate a deal for him, since his own nationalists will kill him if they think he’s going to end the war.

Btw, don’t know what scuttlebutt Orban picked up on his shuttle diplomacy swing through Ukraine, Russia and China… but says for Ukraine it will get a lot worse in the next 2 months.

I believe Trump is far more aware of the actual situation than anyone in the Biden admin.

“As for the dying they lost 20 million in WW2 supposedly. They seem to stick it out as they’re used to it.“

—————————-

I see this often as an example of how Russians win wars. I understand it against the Germans, who invaded and took a large portion of land. But to expend ANY effort against Ukraine just seems like a waste of effort.

The 20 million cost the country dearly over the next 50 years. They lost an entire generation of young Russians. Now, losing significant numbers will impact another generation—at a time when the demographics for the country are NOT good. The long term result will not be positive.

And losing tens of thousands in a trench warfare slog doesn’t seem to be good tactics for a “super power” army.

Yahoo is running an article from the Telegraph who is reporting British Military Intelligence.

Yahoo doesn’t really produce much news....they only reflect what others are reporting.

This was a bungled mess from the jump. Obama, Clinton, Pedo Joe and the rest of the architects of this should hang.

Russia says:
"That's nothing - we lost 1/2-million men in six weeks during the Battle of Kursk. We make more, just hold on...."

They have most of the buffer zone they want…. I mean if you look at the captured territory. Some folks have this silly opinion the Russians are on to greater Europe after this but alas…. A few more kilometers of Ukraine and Russia will have succeeded in their goal stated goals.

The British MoD is no longer trustworthy. It’s a shame the whole five eyes thing has collapsed. The British and the Australians helped Brennan and Co. spy on Trump.

Absolutely a DNC mouthpiece. Yahoo prints some of the most unfounded cultural war hit piecses.

"What will the Russians have left to fight the Chicoms? The equipment can’t be replaced that easy. Could they be running out?"

When it comes to the ChiComs the Russians have no illusions. IfChina invaded Russia it would go nuclear quickly. The Russians would have no qualms about nuking the ChiComs on Russian territory.

I clearly remember Putin saying he must “denazify” the whole country and take its government. Also that Ukraine should never have been given its independence.

And over the last two years Russia actually suffered setbacks and lost some territory back to Ukraine.

I agree Putin at this point wants to settle for what he’s got, maybe.

The war still has been a disaster for Russia on many levels.

Russia is going to win against the Ukraine and its economy will boom even more after the war in similar fashion to the U.S. economy boom after WW2.

Thanks for confirming!

On the positive side, there will be lots of hot Russian girls looking for foreign husbands and boyfriends soon. Their departure for Europe and North America might help the white population demographics keep pace with the non-European illegal immigrants now permitted to flood these places.
