Lots of misinformation about Russia’s personnel losses. The post yesterday from the CIA analyst said that the numbers you keep seeing even from the US and UK are numbers given by Ukraine. No other information is known. And Ukraine lies about everything!

This only paints a partial picture; but at least it is a real picture:

Here is a transcript of a video of a Russian soldier in the battle that offers some insight. It is from three weeks ago.

1. We have after Kiev went to a little town left from Kharkov,
Izyum where heavy fighting is happening. Mostly those battles
are artillery battles since four to five days ago.
2. Their divisions are trying to engage (break through line),
there is zero success to it.
3. We are doing our jobs well, not even whole battalion is
activated, few people are sent to clean up. Everything else
is artillery, artillery works 24/7.
4. This is the beginning of the second phase, we had no idea
how to will develop, however its going with following
rhythm. Artillery works 24/7, example
5. when artillery started working intensely they were responding
with same force, however precision (rockets) and air force
have brought them to the point where they are unable to
respond 1:25 [ they fire one on our 25 ]
6. Because all their checkpoints from which they utilize
artillery are destroyed. There have been enormous reduction
of their tech (military hardware) and people.
7. There are losses, we have been two days ago on that side of
the front helping guys. 16 people were killed from Haubica
152mm, a few projectiles hit around in zone in which they
were sitting.
8. That counts as greatest loss in one day that happened. There
are losses, considering intensity of battle losses are
minimal. Every loss is big, this is war people are throwing
bombs and projectile so it should come as no surprise.
9.
10. I am reading Ukrainine newspaper, according to them they
have completely wiped us there. There are 40 pieces of
destroyed military hardware, unfortunately we ( our
battalion) are forbidden from taking phones or record
anything.
11. I personally would like to record because 40 pieces of
military hardware is but 1% of that which has arrived there.
There is so much military hardware there that has entered in
last 20 days i cannot explain with words.

12. Artillery, tanks, since coming to front they are
immediately breaking the line and paving way for infantry,
mostly that is mechanized infantry.
13. Artillery is working on territory of Donbas, i have talked
today with our fighters Mariupol is taken.

14. Azovstol is surrounded and they are ordered to maintain
formation and do nothing but wait. Question is about food and
water and how long they will last. They are simply waiting
for them to come out which is best thing to do.
15. Battalion Sparta has returned to Doljnjeck that is battalion
from Motorola, and they are going to different front.
16. Division of their battalions which were on Kiev front which
we have engaged are attempting to reach Donbas where huge
battle will be waged. They simply cannot reach that front
from Kiev since our air force is beating them.
17. It proved to be excellent move to engage such a huge
division and then cut it off from territory (Donbas?) where
biggest battle will be fought, which will ultimately end the
conflict of this war.
18. Our air force and precision rockets are still destroying
ammo storage, big groups of fighters.
19. Air force and precision rockets are utilized in deeper
territory of Ukraine specifically when there are huge groups
of people of whom are mostly foreign soldiers of fortune or
volunteers who came to wage war with
20. desire to help Ukraine. There are a lot of people who
dislike Russians, i have read some comments on facebook and
apparently there are even in Serbia some, luckily they are
minority thank God.
21. People are unable to grasp since they are limited, this is
not about Russia only and this is not local conflict. What
about last 8 years when Ukranians were killing people of
Donbas what was happening then.
22. As for that huge battle, there are around 60,000 Ukranian
military personel in that area, and we have order to not
rush forward.
23. Artillery, artillery, artillery day and night.
24. When you are shelled constantly, people are losing will and
morale to wage war and are surrendering which is good for our
side, as well as Ukrainins since there will be less
casualties.
25. On our front there are very few who are captured since they
know that very very long prison sentence is awaiting them so
they are fighting to the last on Donbas territory. Those
battles are short lived.
26. Those instructors from west that have come to train them
have taught them very little, one of few things they managed
to teach them is hate towards Russia and everything Russian.
27. They did teach them how to utilize artillery and gave them
huge amount.
28. Yesterday i have read in news that a lot of military
hardware is coming, however I have privilege to see some
reports that are not exactly to be shared with public.
29. Every location of where that military hardware will arrive
is known, and there are orders not to destroy it. We have
taken a lot of their military hardware: javelins, anti air
stingers, weapons.
30. Mostly nothing our boys use, since its not very effective
especially compared to Turi [not sure about which weapon he
is referring to] from Soviet Union which was designed to
destroy tanks.
31. It occurred on our front that tank is hit with javelin four
five times and it still functions, it also happened that
one hit destroys tank. Reality is, their effectiveness is
mostly boasted through stories.
32. There are a lot of no-man aircrafts which are mostly for
reconnaissance and help their artillery with coordination,
honestly one should pay tribute to guys who use them.
33. They are going in one kilometer towards us, between two
fires. Air craft flying, here only warplanes are allowed to
fly, everything else is forbidden.
34. Our plans are as I said to utilize artillery to deal maximum
damage to military hardware, fighters so we have least
losses possible.
35. I am certain 100%, according to orders I am getting, Putin
is in no rush, one should consider human lives.
36. In truth in first days there have been huge losses, around
500 people died first few days from the error of some
officers who are currently sitting in prison.
