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.

Well ... attackers always have high casualty rates, especially when they have no armor, no air and were sent over flat terrain during an artillery war.
Significantly many of those casualties were from the 155th Naval Infantry Brigade - ‘elite’ Russian troops. 155th NI now wiped out, soon to be reborn with newly mobilized & untrained conscripts.
They’ve been reporting around 700 Russian soldiers, give or take, killed each day for quite a few days. Human waves: it’s the commie way. They’re ordered to charge from their trenches or die. Their Russian leaders stay behind to shoot them, if they retreat.
...and, Ukraine’s navy sunk the Lusitania.
“Just 500 more days and they will finish off those 500,000.”
The Russians haven’t figured out how to win a 72-hour-campaign so far, why should they start now?
Wartime propaganda has gotten more ridiculous over the years, not less. Which given the state of the media is not surprising I guess.
Sad about the 155th Naval Brigade. They traveled so far from their home in Vladivostok only to die in Ukraine and for what? So Putin and his oligarch friends could get more oil and gas.
I feel bad for these men who really were good soldiers for their country and now no one will remember them except for their widows and orphan children.
At least one Ukrainian did indeed distinguish himself at Iwo Jima.

That was your boys.
No, it was not.
You Soros AI gibberish-generator ‘bots are hilarious.
Most of the 155th was destroyed months earlier (the trained and spirited guys) and reconstituted recently with Mobnicks and the few survivors from earlier assaults.
Body counts… like the LBJ admin offered up during the Vietnam war. If they had all been added up, there would have been no NVA left to take Saigon.
I heard that they’re down to 16-year-olds.

Yes, they are now requiring 16 year olds to REGISTER, presumably to prevent them from leaving Ukraine. The Duran covers this in detail ( as do numerous Ukie social sites, etc).
In addition, Poland and other EU countries are sending Ukrainian males back- EXCEPT for Hungary….fracturing of the EU is getting more visible.
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.==
No it not. Actually the territorial integrity of Ukraine was assured by Friendship Treaty of 1999. But in 2008 Ukraine violated this treaty by applying to NATO. And also Ukraine ended the treaty in 2018.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian–Ukrainian_Friendship_Treaty
Since at least 2018 there NO more of recognition of Ukraine integrity.
You forgot the Budapest Memorandum. And Russia ended the Friendship Treaty of 1999 by invading Ukraine in 2014
You forgot the Budapest Memorandum. And Russia ended the Friendship Treaty of 1999 by invading Ukraine in 2014===
Budapest Memorandum was signed BEFORE a treaty of 1999. SO the treaty updated the ukie integrity guarantees of memorandum. And ukies signed this.
But in 2008 ukies violated the treaty applying to NATO. SO they blew up the integrity guarantees. Meaning they violated the treaty they signed and which guaranteed their borders.
What are morons, aren’t they?
“The Western Imperialists” support and independent Ukraine. Your beloved Russian Imperialists call for genocide.===
First off. West are not imperialists. They are colonizators. It is a big difference.
Secondly. Russia don’t call for no genocide. It is the vicious russophobia.
