RUSSIA's "outdated weapons" have proven to be no match for Ukrainian defences as the latest intelligence report from the Ministry of Defence (MoD) shows 55 percent of Russian-backed forces have been wiped out in the Donbas region.
With the focus of the conflict heavily concentrated in the Donbas region in and around the strategic industrial city of Severodonetsk, Ukraine has called on the west to supply extra weapons to defend the territory. Russia has announced it has all but captured the city as heavy shelling continues, however, the cost of the operation has taken its toll on Russian personnel, with many killed or injured in the conflict.
According to the latest MoD report: “The Russian authorities have not released the overall number of military casualties in Ukraine since 25 March.
“However, the self-declared Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) publishes casualty figures for DPR forces.
“As of June 16, the DPR acknowledged 2128 military personnel killed in action, and 8897 wounded, since the start of 2022.
“The DPR casualty rate is equivalent to around 55 percent of its original force, which highlights the extraordinary attrition Russian and pro-Russian forces are suffering in Donbas..
“It is highly likely that DPR forces are equipped with outdated weapons and equipment.

During the course of a day here on FR, we can get an article that Russia is using “outdated” weapons and is getting wiped out, then in the same day we will get an article that Ukraine is getting hammered and their casualties can’t be sustained.
I have no idea which side is winning, one day, hopefully soon this war will be over and then we will know if Russia is getting their ass kicked or we are getting lied to about Russia winning.
Ukrainians are being led to slaughter for Biden’s proxy war just so he can blame all his bad policy outcomes on Putin. This is really shameful. If the United Nations cannot intercede and find a resolution, clearly we don’t need to continue that organization.
Propaganda.
From what I have seen, the only thing the Ukrainians have wiped out are civilian areas that have zero Russian military assets or personnel. For the life of me, I can not figure out why Ukrainians keep shelling un-militarized civilian area in their own country. But then I never understood how Ukraine could use it’s own women and children as human shields like they have. These are some truly evil and very bad people.
Putin just fired his general in charge of all southern operations.
Putin’s panic over his developing train wreck in temporarily occupied Kherson and Melitopol is too funny. What was he thinking?

You know, when some relentless irresistible force engages in annihilation of a weak and helpless enemy, day after day, week after week, month after month, like the Soviets have been doing to the Ukes, eventually I’d expect them to run out of things to annihilate. So far that hasn’t happened. They must be getting real close though, right?
Russia captures village with 25 inhabitants after 4 months of fighting. Film at 11...
The math here is simple:
Going into January of this year the prevailing wisdom was that Russia was a massive superpower whose forces were unstoppable.
When Russia invaded Ukraine the prevailing wisdom was that Ukraine would fold or be conquered within days. I’ll admit to being one of those folks who thought Russia would curbstomp the Ukrainians.
But then the Ukies surprised everyone and stopped the Russians in their tracks by using unconventional tactics to bloody the orcs. The invasion ground to a halt.
That alone was a victory for Ukraine and a loss for Putin. Merely stopping the storied Red Army with a third rate military was remarkable.
The Ukrainians as it turns out are much better fighters than we thought.
And the Russians were hideously incompetent as video after video of their pathetic movement tactics revealed.
Despite laying on massive amounts of logistics the Russians were and are woefully incompetent at getting supplies from the supply dumps to the frontline units.
In January the world thought Russia was an unbeatable superpower. Today, in June, we know we can kick their butts into the middle of next year if we want to. They know it too.
Even if the Russians temporarily gain some territory in Ukraine they will have suffered a massive defeat because no one thinks they’re unbeatable anymore.
At 50 percent I’d guess the unit(s) would be pretty useless. I listened to a commentator who was making his guesses based on Russia’s equivalent of Facebook, where people post their comments and best wishes to those who are talking about their dead relatives. He guesses the number killed is about two thirds of the claimed numbers. Those killed are mostly ethnicities from outside Russia. Very poor people who can’t pass up a paying job.
Seen this guys work before, its excellent work and reporting that largely contradicts most of the Western/Anglo and shill marcusmaximus’ media propaganda.
Putin sure has made a mess of things.
The propaganda stinks a lot like our 2020 election results. I think there may be a connection.
