🇷🇺 have continued to advance into Bakhmut from the Northeast, as well as from their positions in Opytne to the South.
Are they going to tell us their estimate of Ukrainian soldier deaths or do only Russian soldier lives matter?
Probably more like 30-40k mostly right before the pullback.
Wagner is another story. Probably another 20-30k there.
Ukrainians and vols are probably 150k. Half from Russian artillery at Bakmut alone.
Russians lost all their slaves, now they are losing their sons.
I’m not very sympathetic.
It’s the government “STUPID”
By comparison, the U.S. lost 110,000 dead to fentanyl just in 2022. Mostly young, mostly white, mostly male.
U.S. and European “officials”
that’s four times the soviet casualties over a period of ten years in Afghanistan, where said war was instrumental in bringing down the soviet union ...
there were almost 60,000 U.S. fatalities in Vietnam during its twenty year duration, where said war brought down the Democrats ...
i wonder how much longer the russian people are going to put up with putin’s insanity ..
People pushing the war and reporting the results in an unbiased way...
Yet, as grievous as Russia's casualties are, they are but a down payment toward what is to come. The cost of Russia's attack on Ukraine will likely soon include Putin's end, the collapse of his regime, and perhaps the end of the Russian federation itself. Putin will go down in Russian history as not just a bad ruler but as foolish and evil.
Ukraine and Russia were close to negotiating a peace deal last April. The UK and us squelched any deal. Any casualties after that point is our fault. We have blood on our hands.
At 10:42, I said, “the Russians have lost 157,000 troops.” I meant to say that the Kiev regime has lost 157,000 troops, according to Douglas Macgregor; the Russians have lost 20,000, according to the BBC.
Ten days ago the well informed Col.(ret.) Doug Macgregor put the numbers (video) of dead on the Ukrainian side at 122,000 killed plus 35,000 missed in action (presumed dead). The number of dead Russians (including Wagner forces and Donbas militia) is at 16,000 to 25,000 with 20 to 40,000 additionally wounded. The numbers have since increased with the Ukrainian ones several times those of the Russians.
This sounds like propaganda to me, and here’s why... This is an artillery war in which all sides acknowledge that Russia has an overwhelming advantage in both the number of cannons and launchers and daily rate of fire. Russia has repeatedly withdrawn its forces from unfavorable terrain/conditions and used artillery to patiently and methodically attrit UKR forces. UKR leaders acknowledge this disparity as they beg NATO countries for more artillery, ammunition and tanks. This begging has gotten more shrill by the week, as the web shows videos of UKR soldiers grabbing civilian men of all ages in public and pressing them into service. We’ll learn the truth when this is over, but it’s already apparent that things are not as we’re being told.
The Russians don’t know how many casualties they suffer after forcing human waves towards the Ukrainians and shooting any who return. And they don’t much care.
The Ukrainians live in Ukraine. That’s how they are able to count the dead and wounded Russians. Foreign observers simply avoid being near any of the battles (too dangerous).

UK wants hosts to report data about male Ukranian refugees who aged 18 and over.
