Ukrainians are fighting for the freedom of their country. The Russians are fighting to impose totalitarian domination. Ukrainians are fighting invaders. The Russian “Mir” bombs civilians. I think 80% is a serious underestimation.

Commenting on the course of counteroffensive operations in Ukraine, Pentagon believes that the Ukrainian forces have the necessary assets for their actions to be successful.
According to the correspondent of European Pravda, Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh expressed this assessment on Tuesday.
According to Singh, hostilities in Ukraine are "turning into protracted battles every day, as was the case in Bakhmut."
"We know that the battles will be difficult. We know that it will take time. And we are sure that the Ukrainians have what they need. They have the combat power and the ability to succeed in counteroffensive operations," she emphasised.
The Pentagon representative highlighted that a meeting of the Contact Group on Defense of Ukraine took place last week, during which the participants announced new packages of military support to Kyiv.
"We believe that we have provided Ukraine with the systems and means that they need to fight right now. We understand that the battle will be difficult. And, of course, the Russians will adapt, as they have been since the beginning of the war. But so will the Ukrainians", she added.

If this was true, they wouldn’t have forced conscription…
That's nonsense, Ukraine needs weapons.
We sent Ukraine 200 M113's, and have 6,000 in stock that we will never use.
We sent 113 Bradleys to Ukraine, we have 2,000 in stock...
You lie like a rug. Russia has avoided killing civilians throughout this campaign. Ukraine on the other hand has been using civilians as human shields. Add that to the terrorist acts of blowing up the pipeline, the dam and efforts to blow-up the nuke station. Stop your lying.
Which we had in WW2...

The Iraq war logged about 300,000 civilian death with the US doing all it could to avoid civilian casualties.

Given the universal Ukrainian use of human shields, I’d say Russia has done very, very well in avoiding civilian casualties
US isolationists have a long history in the US, fortunately in the past they were ignored.
OHCHR believes that the actual figures are considerably higher, as the receipt of information from some locations where intense hostilities have been going on has been delayed and many reports are still pending corroboration. This concerns, for example, Mariupol (Donetsk region), Lysychansk, Popasna, and Sievierodonetsk (Luhansk region), where there are allegations of numerous civilian casualties.
