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

Posted on 02/12/2023 1:34:08 AM PST by dennisw

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.”

Don’t play stupid. Go look at your ping(s) from me.

If you want an answer so badly, rephrase and ask a coherent question.

Thanks for the list of sponsors. Aside from them, are there any other members of the House in favor of surrendering to Putin? It would be good to put it to a vote to find out.

If the Ukrainians wanted to live under the Kremlin’s boot, they could always just lie down.

If Putin ever thinks about people like you, he thinks you are useful idiots and chumps. I despise the WEF, Scamdemics and GlobobHomo as much as you do. (I never got the vaxxxx) But I never let this onslaught affect me so much that I started cheering for Putin to deliver me from all of the above. This is absurd.

And 10-15 years ago you never would have been advocating for Imperialist Russia. Ron Paul has ear wormed his ideology into your mind after we blew trillions on two dumb wars. With thousands of ours maimed and killed.

You're going to insist on playing stupid? Look at your pings from me, for several days now, and respond. I don't blame you for running from it. You stand in a really bad place.

Look I don't have time to look through your rants and ravings. If you don't want to ask a coherent question, stop trolling me.

Russias biggest problem is what happens after winning. If the Uke army surrenders, how many in the general population will fight a guerrilla war?

I am sure there are other American Firsters who will support this resolution. This has nothing to do with Putin. The US is the world’s largest debtor nation. We can’t afford to borrow more money to fight endless wars that don’t involve our strategic national interests. These wars weaken us. The real enemy is China.

All of them who aren’t killed outright or sent off to Siberia. Better to die fighting, then to be shot in a mass grave.

In any quasi defeat and treaty, the Ukies will sabotage and destroy all Russian invaders. Guerrilla warfare style. In fact, Ukies are doing this RIGHT now.

Obviously the Holodomor mass starvation killing of 4 million plus Ukrainian farmers and their families and "Kulaks" is/was not enough for that Pan-Putin love junkies here at FR

This has everything to do with Putin and his invasive imperialist Russia. Your ancestors came from Europe. But the Golden Coral buffet is good on Sundays, so bye.

The best humor is that your Vlad is running out of actual ethnic Russians. Who are too dumb and unaware to immigrate out of, avoid, evade, dodge Vlad’s Stalin style meat grinder in Ukraine. Putin, who has the most Russian blood on his hands, since Vlad’s idol Stalin purged and killed his top military command on the eve of WW2.

Putin is just a thug with a gas station. Your lame graphics should show this. (I saw that Mouse That Roared years ago) (It was mildly amusing)

The Ukrainian Army has not defeated the Russians in a set piece battle since the start of Russia’s Special Military Operation. Urkaine, with the full help of NATO, was unable to mount an offensive to rescue its trapped forces in Mariupol. A similar catastrophe for Ukraine is unfolding right now in Donetsk along the defense line that stretches from Bakhmut to Seversk in the north.

###

They ignore Russia’s unequaled natural resources (which gives it self-suffiency not enjoyed by any of the other major powers); its robust, technologically sophisticated industrial base (Russia produces viable space rockets, the United States does not); and its deeply rooted sense of national identity. They also do not grasp the devastating tactics the Russians are methodically executing on the battlefield — the Ukrainian Army and equipment are being mauled and the West has emptied its military stores and is in no condition to provide replacements any time soon.

Good morning K-Klown
Thanks for chiming in. Putin is running out of actual ethnic Russians due to their alcoholism and pathetic birthrates. Running out of Russians to make his fake ass Tsarist wars against peaceful neighboring nations.

You should go back to Russia and help elevate the Russian birthrates. For your idolized Putin. Who is nothing but a trashy, Idi Amin style, third world thug who owns a gas station.

There are reports on those numbers and they are high.

Not as hugh as the Russian, because Russia is following human wave tactics especially with their Wagner convicts.

But still high.

The difference is that the Ukrainians want to keep fighting as Putin’s hordes have invaded their homes.
