Ukrainian company appeal to the command:
"We did not receive proper weapons and artillery support. As a result, 70% of the company was killed or wounded. We didn't even have equipment to evacuate the wounded, which is why several of the wounded did not survive."

This is only a minute and six seconds.
Sad, really sad. This is becoming a tragedy every day.
They’re saying that the Bakhmut (Artemivsk) casualties on the Ulrainian side are closer to 1 to 1 (KIA to wounded) than the normal 1 to 3, because the lack of timely medical care.
“It appears that for every single Russian casualty there are 10 Ukrainians killed or wounded.”

I mentioned on the FR boards yesterday in a thread I can’t be bothered to look up that the ratios were anywhere from 6:1 to 10:1 and then I read Larry’s article this morning my time and he went with the higher number of 10:1.
All I can say is that given the many, many social sites, etc. that I visit multiple times a day, I have seen pictures and short vids of Ukrainian bodies piled up, literally, like logs in 48’ trailers, on the ground, etc.
Not good at all for those getting caught up in the Russian meat grinder, for sure.
Then there are the reports from people like the commander of MOZART Group saying that the men Ukraine is sending into the Russian meat grinder are men that have never fired a weapon before, not trained, etc.
Mercouris makes some interesting observations concerning Ukrainian vs. Russian losses, as well.

MI-6 transmitted intelligence to the Office of the President and the General Staff that the Kremlin decided to increase the number of Russian troops in Ukraine to half a million in January 2023. In addition to the mobilized soldiers, elite units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the FSB, as well as new types of military equipment, will be additionally sent to the front.

Russia wants to restore the possibilities for a major offensive before the end of January-February, but Ukraine is doing everything possible to prevent this.
This was announced by Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba at a briefing for foreign media.
“I think that Russia’s ability to carry out a large offensive can be restored before the end of January-February,” Kuleba said.
According to him, this is what Russia is trying to do, while Ukraine is doing everything possible to prevent this.
“I’m not saying that this will definitely happen, but the best-case scenario, given the mobilization, the draft they announced, and the training of new conscripts and the movement of their heavy weapons around the country, they certainly hold out hope that they can break through our line and move deeper into Ukraine,” the head of Ukrainian diplomacy added.
The Russians tell the world and the Ulrainians exactly what they're doing, and the Ulrainians reset their brains immediately to "they're trying to take territory!!".

3 to one earlier today... then six to one... now 10 to one! How does an empire four times more populous than the one it invades inflict ten times more casualties and not easily win the war within days? Russia’s ENTIRE invasion force was depleted... so that means Ukraine’s defense forces would have been depleted 40 times over!

As it turns out, Russian criminals reached a champagne winery on the eastern edge of Bakhmut. Apparently, they’re hoping to convert themselves from being vodka alcoholics to becoming winos.

As for the hysterical push to expend enormous numbers of Russians to take Bakhmut for the sake of pride, that effort might still go on for months.
