Russia Suffering Highest Daily Casualty Rate Since First Week Of Ukraine War, Says UK
MSN ^ | Feb 12 | Kevin Schofield

Russia is suffering its highest daily casualty rate in Ukraine since the start of the war, according to UK officials.

Vladimir Putin’s forces are losing 824 troops a day as the first anniversary of the start of the conflict approaches, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) believes.

In the first week of the war, Moscow was suffering an average of 1,140 casualties a day, figures compiled by the general staff of the Ukraine army suggested.

That dropped to 173 a day last July, but has been climbing steadily since then.

In their latest intelligence update on the war, the MoD said: “Over the past two weeks, Russia has likely suffered its highest rate of casualties since the first week of the invasion of Ukraine.

“The Ukrainian general staff release daily statistics on Russian casualties. Although defence intelligence cannot verify Ukraine’s methodology, the trends the data illustrate are likely accurate.

“The mean average for the last seven days was 824 casualties per day, over four times the rate reported over June-July 2022. Ukraine also continues to suffer a high attrition rate.

“The uptick in Russian casualties is likely due to a range of factors including lack of trained personnel, coordination, and resources across the front – this is exemplified in Vuhledar and Bakhmut.”

If Ukraine capitulates, then the Russians will begin their announced program to “eliminate” all Ukrainians. Which is why Ukraine will never capitulate - its suicide.

That and the fact that the UK has one of the biggest mouths regarding the warmongering in Ukraine.

We can now see that the UK and Canada are only prepared to offer a few bucks and their loud mouths to the cause. Canada can’t even shoot down an aerial invader in their territory.

They want a fully involved neocon produced NATO war with Americans doing the dying because they have left themselves weak on purpose.

Putin is like that Vegas loser, sitting at the machine, thinking if he tries just one more time, he’ll finally win ... and the result is always the same, another loss ...

fine, don’t learn, wear your lousy country down by wasting its finite resources on war and conflict, works for me ... one less enemy we have to worry about ...

I hope the Ukrainians lose this war if only to get rid of their influence on America. Leftists. The Ukrainians and Zelensky were in on the coup against President Trump. The second impeachment was driven by President Trump's call to Zelensky and Ukrainian-born "whistle-blower" Col. Vindman was the impetus. Col. Vindman was offered the high position of Defense Minister of Ukraine twice by the Ukraine - why?. The coup against President Trump led us into the Ukraine War and the death of hundreds of thousands of people and the impoverishment of America. We are led by traitors and snakes.

U.S. Congressman Matt Gaetz (FL-01) today led a group of 11 lawmakers in calling for the United States to halt additional military and financial aid to Ukraine through the introduction of the “Ukraine Fatigue” Resolution. If passed, the Resolution would express through the sense of the House of Representatives that the United States must end its military and financial aid to Ukraine, and urges all combatants to reach a peace agreement. 

Since the onset of the war last February, the United States has been the top contributor of military equipment and aid to Ukraine, sending over $110 Billion of taxpayer money to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, including an additional $2 Billion in aid announced on February 3rd. 

Congressman Gaetz was joined by the following original co-sponsors on the “Ukraine Fatigue” Resolution: Reps. Andy Biggs (AZ-05), Lauren Boebert (CO-03), Paul Gosar (AZ-09), Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA-14), Anna Paulina Luna (FL-13), Thomas Massie (KY-04), Mary Miller (IL-15), Barry Moore (AL-02), Ralph Norman (SC-05), and Matt Rosendale (MT-02).

H.Res.113 - Ukraine Fatigue Resolution

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the United States must end its military and financial aid to Ukraine, and urges all combatants to reach a peace agreement.

Right, so then according to your brilliant logic China is not an enemy of the US, after all China has not "shot at me or my children".

Now go continue in your hate and bloodlust.
Governments don’t always reflect the character of the people they claim to represent.
Put your faith in Christ not government.

There are increased casualties because all Russian attack activities are in the view of drones in real time, all the time

Balderdash. You have no clue except you hate biden and have the ridiculous belief that support of Ukraine is support of Biden

Your mind is way to narrow to comprehend the reality

Sure, pacifism and isolationism works great throughout history. Just ask Tibet's Dalai Lama.
