Ukraine's Defense Ministry said early Friday that since Russian invaded the country Thursday morning, Ukrainian forces have inflicted about 800 casualties on Russian forces, destroyed more than 30 Russian tanks, seven Russian aircraft, and six helicopters, CNN reports, noting that it is "not able to independently verify Ukraine's figures."

“Then why are they not being shown on Fox, Newsmax, OAN, or dare say the MSM.”
I cannot speak for Fox, Newsmax, OAN, or MSM.
Maybe but fog of war and all that.
Good points.
You may be right but nothing like that caught my eye.
It was a Ukrainian ZRK Strela-10 short-range SAM.
Obama bombing Libya and Syria and Sudan and....
I suspect there are more than two facets to the stories being reported. Given the US support for gain-of-function research in Wuhan, as one example of more examples, there seem precious few clean hands at work.
If it’s coming from MSN...
Make sure you wear that armband so we can pick you out of the crowd.
There are no lines in Russia of people waiting in line to “denazify” Ukraine like 2014. Putin does not have wide support for this adventure. He’s sending draftees and some reports of merc Chechens. He’s counting on the west forcing Ukraine to surrender. One rumor is Lavrov asked the UK PM to meet in Minsk and he said how about Warsaw? LOL.
“just witnessed a fleeing car in Kyiv purposely cut off by a Russian T-72 battle tank which completely crushed the car on the spot and killed its driver”
Who was in the car?
100%
Why isn’t he using his hypersonic Lex Luthor weapon?
Put those munitions to good use, Ukrainians. Hunker down, let the Russians pass by, and pick them off.
This isn’t WWII, and I think Russia’s appetite for boys coming back in body bags is pretty small.
The numbers released from something like this are always suspect and only become accurate long after the fact. However, the Russians are being slowed significantly which means they are taking casualties and losing material. The Pentagon is saying that Ukrainian air defense is degraded by still functioning and that they still have active aircraft. If that is true it means they Russians are taking a pretty bloody nose and failing to reach objectives. Will be interesting to find out what they losses actually are.
I just witnessed a fleeing car in Kyiv purposely cut off by a Russian T-72 battle tank which completely crushed the car on the spot and killed its driver cellphoned by Ukrainian women in their apartment crying in blood curdling shrieks… I hope people are really proud to hear of supporting Russia or giving moral support to these cruel demons No better than the red Chinese in Tienanmen Square
See folks, this is how the fog of war works:
The driver wasn’t killed.
I have no argument with your take in general, but only time will reveal the outcome.
Any American who didn’t get a clue from Afghanistan and beat feet out of the Ukraine last week has only himself to blame.
Thanks for that parting credit shot from one of my favorite films. Needed a good laugh. I still sometimes use one of the early lines: “You can’t leave! The plants will all die!”
Land is like Bitcoin, there is only so much of it go around. That CNN is all for abortions everyday in this country and ra-ra-ing for the defenders, me thinks if Russia wanted to inflict more death and destruction they could easily do so. Putin will achieve his goals, e.g., obtain more land. All the while Biden continues to buy Russian oil for use in the US, while cutting our energy production in court today.
