At some point, we’ll find out the truth.

I don’t think either side it telling the truth.

Reports are Ukraine lost up to 12k soldiers taking an area no bigger than Rhode Island.

Fail.

Leaked Ukrainian documents from a while back show why Ukraine has had to go all in on the offensive, but the MIC Biden regime doesn’t care as he and Obama supported the 2014 coup in Ukraine of a legally elected president:

From one of a gazillion reports on this:

Unconfirmed leaked data from the Armed Forces of Ukraine General Staff:
- The AFU are only 43-48% complete;
- medical workers at the limit of their strength: the seriously wounded are transported to Europe;
- small arms and bulletproof vests are not enough;

https://twitter.com/Russ_Warrior/status/1555546218608365568

This is backed up by other reports.

And Ukraine reportedly lost 12k in the last week taking an area the size of Rhode Island while Russia has taken more land recently in Southern Ukraine.

Ukraine has lost at least 50% of its regular, trained people, and had no choice but to go all-in on an offensive attack.

Ukrainians throwing their lives away for the Biden regime and neocon McCainiac, “To the last Ukrainian” warmongers:

The Guardian, Democracy Now, and others reported yesterday that 1,000 square kilometers were retaken by Ukraine, not Zel’s claimed 6000 sq km.

The BBC reported today and yesterday that about 1/5 of Ukraine has been conquered by Russia. So retaking 1k to 6k square kilometers of 1/5 of Ukraine turns out to be a paltry percentage (less than 1% to around 5% of what Russia has conquered) and especially paltry given that Russia has made recent advancements into other areas of southern Ukraine.

People fighting an existential threat to their homeland, versus a much more heavily armed but poorly led and poorly trained larger military oppomemt.

Amazing how “Ukraine” (AKA US/Soros proxy warriors) can do nothing wrong, and Hillary’s hated enemy RUSSIA COLLUSION RUSSIA COLLUSION RUSSIA COLLUSION can do nothing right.

It’s almost as if it is nothing but all propaganda, all the time.

That is great news! Let the Russians aggressors pay the price. Sadly, the Rear Echelon will sit in safety while the grunts don't want to be there either.

No, it was just a clever Russian ploy, the tanks were just decoys to make Ukraine waste all of their ammunition!

Being able to parade around does not mean the people parading around are a good army.

Whenever I read news of this war I am struck by the numbers of units each army seems to have. I cannot even begin to list them but it’s like resding the order of battle before Kursk. Makes me suspicious of everything I read and hesr

"A Hundred Wrecked Tanks In A Hundred Hours: Ukraine Guts Russia’s Best Tank Army"

If this headline is accurate we would be inundated with hours of video and hundreds of photos by mainstream news.

Forbes has really trashed their credibility on this topic.

I doubt all those tanks were taken out in this offensive. They’d surely lost some before this, and there also may have been some in various stages of repair/maintenance in Izium that were recovered. But it certainly didn’t sound like there was any great tank battle.
