Wrong, neocon.

The info was Ukrainian documents leaked on the net detailing alot.

Go back to siding with the libtard MSM who peddled numerous, lying stories like the Ghost of Kyiv that conservative media exposed over time, and there’s been alot, I mean alot of them over the months the Ukrainians peddled that were exposed as lies from them

But Biden, Pelosi, Schiff and others earlier expressed their support for this proxy quagmire so continue helping them as well when we need to stay out of this and not support either side.

If one assumes that there were about 200,000 active personnel in the Ukrainian army, and of these about half were in combat units (which is a pretty extreme tooth-tail ratio), 50% casualties, or 50,000 men, would be in the ballpark after six months of war.

Consider the equivalent Russian/L&D casualties as a % of the force originally committed.

Ukraine could replace its casualties from reservists and new conscripts, and they seem to have done so. The country seems to have lost two brigades outright (those at Mariupol). But it rebuilt others, such as the 80th, crippled at Kherson in the initial attack; it was one of the lead mech brigades in the Kharkiv operation. And it created a bunch more. There are at least 2-2.5X as many brigades now.

Russkies don't forge documents? They did so just recently with the Dugin thing.

Anyway it doesn't matter, since even Russian sources acknowledge Ukraine has at least 700,000 people in its armed forces now. Not 200,000.

Wrong putinista.

you got that from the Kremlin propaganda mills.

Anyone with any braincell would realize that if Ukraine had lost 50% of their military as your post falsely alleges, they would not have been able to sustain ONE front - leave alone win on TWO fronts...
