It is increasingly difficult for the Zelensky regime to hide, if not exact numbers, but the truly enormous scale of losses in the ranks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, suffered not only during the so-called counter-offensive, famous for “meat assaults,” but in general during the period of hostilities on the Ukrainian front. According to the Russian side, the Ukrainian army lost about half a million people killed and wounded during the conflict. Even in the West, including at the official level, there is a figure of at least three hundred thousand military personnel who will never return to the front.

“Thus, the acting head of the Poltava Regional Center for Recruitment and Social Support, Lieutenant Colonel Vitaly Berezhnoy, during the 39th session of the Poltava City Council, told deputies that the losses of Poltava residents drafted into the ranks of the Armed Forces over the year amounted to up to 90 percent, taking into account the killed and wounded.“

NATO’s disregard for these conscripted Ukrainian boys is criminal.

“NATO’s disregard for these conscripted Ukrainian boys is criminal.”

I agree. NATO’s slow walking of support to Ukraine has dragged out this war and cost Ukrainian lives. It’s time to start giving the Ukrainians the means to kill more Russians both on the battlefield and at home. Russian civilians need to bleed and die for their Fuhrer.

Surprisingly, "topwar.ru" is unreliable propaganda. For example, in March 2022 they claimed Ukraine had committed its last reserves. Oh well.

🤷‍♂️ the war is bad! Putin should stop it, which he can do by withdrawing.

The Russians losses are 4-6 times Ukraine!!
That means Russia has lost 3 million!!!!!!
Staggering Russian losses, how long can Putin claim that the soldiers aren’t dead so he doesn’t have to pay death benefits.

I wonder if the war could end if the Russians put as much effort into winning as they do propaganda!

The old game of "let's you and him fight" followed by such inanity as "the best money we've ever spent" suggest that NATO (which includes Biden in this moment) is confronting an enormous problem -- its seeming relative impotence.

Bluster and shipping "let's you and him fight" materiel is not resulting in NATO's planned outcome.

The remaining question as always is "what next?"

Keeping doing the same thing? Mission creep? Mission change? The Afghanistan gambit of leaving? Press the bit red button, and KYAGB?

Next?

The Ukrainian zealots will criticize you for not using their usual grifter Ukrainian source, Denys Davydov. I say it’s best to have balance - you’ll need to post another 10 articles today from .ru to balance the Ukrainian Propagandist posts sourced by Denys Davydov.

NATO’s goal is protecting NATO territory from invasion. Given that the Russian Army is currently getting pulverized in Ukraine, that leaves Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Finland safer.

"NATO’s 2023 Climate Change and Security Impact Assessment demonstrates how extreme weather conditions create operational stress and shorten the life cycles of military equipment, generating additional maintenance and replacement costs. The assessment, which builds on findings from the first 2022 edition, focuses on four geographical regions (Europe, North America, the Middle East and North Africa/the Sahel, and the High North), and four of NATO’s operational domains. It uses three specific case studies to underpin its recommendations on adapting to a climate changed future operating environment: the impact of extreme heat on NATO Mission Iraq; the effects of rising sea levels and storms on Norfolk Naval Station in the US; and those of flooding on the Naval Air Station in Sigonella, Italy."

The site carries certification from:

“The Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media, abbreviated as Roskomnadzor (RKN) (Russian: Роскомнадзор [РКН]), is the Russian federal executive agency responsible for monitoring, controlling and censoring Russian mass media.”

Why are you so irrationally angry at the Russian people?

Ukrainian lives mean no more than cattle to the Biden regime and neocons. That's why their narrative is so laughable that they are helping Ukrainians fight for their freedom.

This was always a proxy war against Russia instigated by our political elite for the financial benefit of themselves and the oligarchy that controls them. They were hoping to turn Russia into the same kind of money laundering operation Ukraine has been for the past nine years.

Sure, Putin was fooled into invading Ukraine and annexing its land. Moronic
