[Its All Over Except ...]

Just one of many that reported on these leaked Ukrainian documents put all over the net. This was from some time back so no telling how bad it is now for Ukraine that has western “volunteers” fighting beside them.

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;

This is backed up by other reports.

And Ukraine reportedly lost up to 12k soldiers a week and a half 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 (no doubt more since the leaks), and had no choice but to go all-in on an offensive attack.

Ukrainians aren’t the ones actually making inroads into the 1/5 of Ukraine that Russia has taken; they’re cannon fodder. So-called “volunteers” in Ukraine are responsible for Ukraine taking a paltry 1k sq miles of 120,000 sq. miles, and Democracy Now and The Guardian report Ukraine only took back 1k sq miles.

Russian troops have encountered Ukrainians sealed into tanks.
Usually newbie troops.

I have friends in Russia who convinced a Dr to list their son as having a heart defect, years ago. So that he never had to go to war.
Almost 20 years ago. Bet they are pleased now.

Nobody likes war. I am sure Russians don’t want to go either.

That was from the beginning of August, a month before the Kherson and Kharkiv counter offensives started. The last three weeks happened. Given those documents, these are three possible explanations:

1. Russia would have already won by August, since 191,000 total KIA and WIA would have overwhelmed the Ukrainian army.
2. The reason Russia has not won is they are less capable than the Ukrainian army.
3. This is another mediocre propaganda piece Russia pumps out all the time.

Since #1 did not happen and the last three weeks did, that leaves #2 and #3. The Russian army is lousy and those docs are fakes.
