VLADIMIR Putin has purged his top general over a mass loss of troops in Ukraine as Russia's losses are now said to be as high as 50,000.

Colonel-General Andrey Serdyukov, 60, was ditched for the devastating “mass casualties” among Putin's elite paratroopers, it has been alleged.

The speculation comes as a Russian source is said to have suggested the country’s overall losses in Ukraine are close to 50,000 - significantly higher than most other estimates.

It is a brutal, stupid, unnecessary war. Everyone involved in bringing it about, and in perpetuating it, should be ashamed.

And that includes the criminals in the Obama regime who helped orchestrate the 2014 coup-d’état. All of this war’s blood is as much on their hands as it is on the hands of Putin and Zelensky.

If the Ukies had 176K KIA this war would be over and done. That’s more than all UKIE ground forces before the invasion.

If the Russians are willing to admit 50,000 of their military personnel killed, then, it’s likely a lot higher, and probably approaching 100,000 killed.

But, there’s plenty more where they came from, and it’s all for a good cause. Communists can always rationalize their evil intents.

If the Russians are losing 50,000+ personnel, then, it’s quite likely that they’re also losing hundreds of billions in military hardware. But, it’s all still for a good cause.

Don’t forget the shark of Kiev. He took out 6 Russian subs with nothing but a wetsuit, a snorkel and a knife.

Hey, we should talk about how many Ukrainians the Ukrainians killed. Let’s discuss in detail the playbook right out of Bosnia.

Or we can do what you do and parrot what the tv tells you.

What does “losses” mean? Only the Sun knows and they might be changing the meaning daily. Military casualties are expressed in Killed, Wounded, and Missing. Losses could be one of these, two, or all. Another example of how the media have no idea what they are reporting on the Ukraine war.

Ukraine has already had 4 mobilizations and are currently engaged in their 5th.

Ukraine claims they have a million man forces currently, but intend to mobilize 2 million. Personally I don’t give this any credibility; but then I never give any credibility to what Ukraine says based on their own history.

I know better than to take anything Ukraine says seriously, but you would think that even they would realize how much this harms their credibility.

Ukraine‘s „Cannon Fodder“

Davyd Arakhamia, advisor to Ukrainian Minister of Defence says Ukraine loses up to 1,000 Ukrainian soldiers daily - with 200 to 500 killed on average

Our source in the OP said that there was a huge scandal at the Bank due to Arakhamia’s interview with the American edition AXIOS.com . The Office of the President is already preparing a rebuttal, and David must declare that his words were not understood correctly!

Bankova believes that the title and the first paragraph of the article is a sentence for Ukraine, and now we urgently need to shift the focus from the publication.

Up to 1,000

Ukrainian soldiers die or are injured daily in Donbas in eastern Ukraine, with an average of 200 to 500 killed and many more wounded, a senior Ukrainian official said on Wednesday.

He said the quiet part out loud.

Up to 1,000 Ukrainian soldiers are killed or injured in Donbas every day.

Of these, an average of 200 to 500 are killed and many more are wounded, said David Arakhamia, head of the Servant of the People faction, who is now in Washington. His words are quoted by the Axios website.

Very pro-Ukrainian Canadian jounalist who spent a month in Donbas posted that he had left. When questioned as to whether he was okay he responded he was fine; but the troops he was covering were down to 4 out of the original 60.

That would include the clueless John Kerry.

I’ve read other reports that the Kremlin has appointed the current chief of staff of the Central Military District, Colonel-General Mikhail Teplinsky(a native of the Donetsk region), as Serdyukov’s replacement and named him the Deputy Commander of the Russian Airborne Forces.

As always, check for independent confirmation.

So when is Putin next to be purged, he’s in charge. Pity the Russian population is so well spoonfed a daily dose of soviet propaganda.

Sounds like Tokyo Rose circa January 1945.

“Today the Japanese Imperial Navy sank 3 American aircraft carriers, 2 battleships, and wiped out the Marines on Iwo Jima....”

From the article:

“The speculation comes as a Russian source is said to”

Nobody need read further than that.

The article said:
“But several sources claim that Putin is personally micromanaging war decisions and wielding the axe on commanders he sees as under performing.”

The definitive question is Putin still alive or are Russians politicians & occupies military maneuvering for power???

RE: The Ruskies have purportedly had 50,000 KIA in 4 months?? The US had 58,200 KIA’s for the whole Vietnam War!

One huge difference — Russia does not have their pro-Vietcong equivalents in their country. Who are the Jane Fondas and John Kerrys of Russia? Who are the Russian Walter Cronkites broadcasting warnings about disaster?

If they exist, they are either in jail or dead.

......while my preference is that the war in Ukraine end today so that the killing, particularly of innocent children and other non combatants can stop, Russia is grinding it’s military capabilities and personnel up and that is a good thing.
