In the first two weeks of Ukraine’s grueling counteroffensive, as much as 20 percent of the weaponry it sent to the battlefield was damaged or destroyed, according to American and European officials. The toll includes some of the formidable Western fighting machines — tanks and armored personnel carriers — the Ukrainians were counting on to beat back the Russians. The startling rate of losses dropped to about 10 percent in the ensuing weeks, the officials said, preserving more of the troops and machines needed for the major offensive push that the Ukrainians say is still to come.

If the NYT admits to 30% losses, the reality is much worse. How many dead khokols at this stage- 350K is the number I have heard.

Careful- they might report you. The Uke supporters are an incredibly thin skinned- though I might be too if my paycheck depended on posting an endless litany of lies all day every day.
Better yet, the Ukrainian advance has yet to make it past the Russian get zone to their first of 3 defense lines. The Western media apparently is now trying to sound somewhat truthful.
Most Ukrainians and Russians are my Orthodox Christian brothers and sisters. I grieve their deaths and injuries, and yearn for this war to end! Lord have Mercy!
Meanwhile, biden and his shadow presidents, as well as the NATOcrats and neocons, are pushing for more and more war! Now they want to call up American reservists, with no sense at all. Maybe they want Americans to die, too. Lord have Mercy!
“NYT is printing this?”
The word is out that Ukraine is a lost cause, and we can tell by the near-silence of the Operatives.
The only question now is how to get Russia to give the Neocons a modicum of face-saving as they exit the project.
Knowing the Russians (figurative comment, so don’t get your Neocon panties in a bunch), they just may do that - in exchange for something tangible, such as ending all ‘sanctions’.
Here’s an idea, for starters stop shelling eastern Ukraine, ethnic, Russians, and accept that joining NATO is not going to happen.
War ends simply with russian army leaving Ukraine.
With recruiting down, Lloyd “Lardass” Austin may have to resort to the Uke conscripting method of acquiring recruits for the Ukrainian counter offensive.
What they really need to rethink is their philosophy. Their tribute band to the third Reich is pretty disgusting.
