Ukraine claims more than 1,000 Russia troops killed in single day

Ukraine has reported that more than 1,000 Russian troops were killed on Monday alone as the war between the neighboring countries approaches its first anniversary.

The Ukrainian Defense Ministry said in a Telegram post that 1,030 Russian personnel were killed in fighting, raising the total throughout the conflict to just more than 133,000. Ukrainian forces also destroyed 14 tanks and 28 armored personnel vehicles, officials said. Reuters reported that the number of Russian soldiers killed made Monday the deadliest 24 hours of the war for Russia so far, but it could not independently verify Ukraine’s claims. It also reported that the figures of casualties from the opposition by both sides have been unreliable.

Ukraine has warned that Russia is amassing 500,000 troops on its border to launch an offensive in order to capture new territory. Ukrainian forces started turning back Russia’s invasion throughout the summer and fall and retook thousands of square kilometers of captured territory before the two sides reached a stalemate in the winter.

Russia invaded Ukraine. A country whose borders and sovereignty had been recognized by the Russian Federation and whose security was repeatedly (and falsely) assured by Putin.

Russia could end the war and leave Ukraine but sadly no such thing will happen until someone kills Putin.

In the meantime I will support the Ukrainians as they defend Ukraine.

That is funny. Zelensky wants to make sure we are getting our billions worth of killings. Next week he might wipe out a whole city.

Give me larger numbers please at a faster pace.

How about this video of Ukie police kidnapping a teenager to go into their Army.
Do note the Ukies are on their 12th mobilization, snatching boys and men off the streets.

That’s right, war if you think about it is totally illogical, killing mass numbers of people to institute a political solution, should not happen in a sane world.

But, war has been happening for all of human history, it’s not going to change in 2023 or well into the future.

Who gets killed and in what numbers is unimportant to the overall objective of winning the war, unless you sit down and work out the differences.

War has plenty of fornication in it from prostitutes to rape and so on.

Looting is stealing and so on.

The Ukrainian regime installed by the US backed coup of 2014 coveted control of the Russians in the eastern part of the country among other things.

With body counts from both sides totaling nearly 225k, I would think every road in Ukraine would be lined with corpses.

Tomorrow it will be downgraded to 10.

But, for entertainment, let’s pretend that is true. Then, In less than a week they should be able to solve this problem: “Ukraine has warned that Russia is amassing 500,000 troops on its border to launch an offensive in order to capture new territory.”

I wouldn’t be surprised.

The DC neocon deep-state goal all along has been to trade Ukrainian lives for as many Russian lives as possible. So what’s the real ratio? Are they achieving their goal? I doubt it, but details won’t be known for a long time.

Hell, they would like to see every White, Christian Slav dead on both sides, if possible.

Ukraine will suck them in, destroy their logistics and kill the Russians by the battalion load

Yes, when Russia attempted to assassinate the elected leader of Ukraine in 2004, and when that failed, started funneling weapons to start an insurgency to overthrow the government of Ukraine.

Oh please, Ukraine is on it’s deathbed.

As the Putinistas have been saying for a year now. Call me when Russian troops enter Kyiv.

500,000...we nuked Japan twice to prevent mass casualties on our side from an invasion and yes, to get an ROI on the atom bomb R&D.

That’s all I’m going to say, not going to predict or argue about what will or will not happen next, who is right or wrong or try to read Putin’s mind.

Correct.

If you come someone me to the aid of someone defending themself, you are also practicing self-defense.

This is from a California Judge, no less, regarding a High School Football player, who gave a lesson to a bully who was attacking a smaller handicapped student.
