Military officials attribute much of their success so far to the superior technology and NATO-standard training that international partners have provided...
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky last week revealed that about 31,000 Ukrainian forces have died in combat since Russia invaded the country on Feb. 24, 2022 – while Russian troop death totals are closer to 180,000...
“31,000 Ukrainian military personnel have been killed in this war. Not 300,000, not 150,000, not whatever Putin and his deceitful circle have been lying about." ...
Officials here affirmed to The Post that Russian forces have been dying at a rate of roughly six to one compared to Ukraine’s troops. The number of wounded is likely just as high, as a US intelligence report declassified in December estimated that roughly 315,000 Russian troops – or roughly 87% of the number that originally invaded the country in 2022 – had been killed or injured...
The result is that while thousands of Ukrainians volunteer to defend their country, Russia is turning to hardened criminals to compensate for a lack of trained troops.
But treatment of forces is not just about respecting human rights and the laws of war – caring for troops makes a big difference in combat efficiency, which the US and its allies know well. Senior American defense officials have spoken frequently of the advantage Ukrainians have on the battlefield in fighting spirit alone.
The captain estimated that NATO-standard weapons can do the same damage as 10 rounds of Moscow’s Soviet-era artillery in about three shots...
The benefits of the western quality of equipment extends to the medical sphere, said Steve Donnelly, an American who has been training frontline medics since the war’s early days...

That's why Russia still hasn't been able to defeat them, even after 2 years
"One commander of a fire-support unit in Donbas told The Post on Tuesday that he has seen Russian forces stack their dead – and even the living-but-wounded – to be used as protective barriers during trench warfare in some of the most brutal battles of this war..."
“We must continue this fight,” one Ukrainian soldier in Donetsk Oblast, which has been partially occupied by Russia since 2014, told The Post. “This is our democracy. This is our freedom. What choice do we have?”
(((PING!)))
To be added to the zeeper follies pinglist, ping me bro... we need laughter!
“… Zelensky last week revealed that about 31,000 Ukrainian forces have died in combat…”

Sure, Frenchy, we believe this. America has given much to Ukraine for something that is not a vital interest to us. NO MORE BLEEDING AMERICAN TAXPAYERS FOR UKRAINE’S GOVERNMENT!
I suggest you lobby your fellow Canadian to increase the Canadian national debt by TENS OF BILLIONS to have more money to give to the Ukrainian overlords.
Democracy huh? They have a little grunting dicktater. We can see the US RAT influence with this muh democracy bullshat.
Ukraine’s weapons are not superior because they are losing. Ukraine has even complained we are sending them old crappy weapons. They are getting their clocks cleaned.
They’re not even pretending this isn’t a US feral government proxy war anymore.
But they are pretending Ukraine has a chance to win…..
You Ukraine-haters wouldn’t be angry & frustrated if Russia was actually winning
So, Russia must still be losing
Thanks for the battlefield update!
Only a surrender will save what's left of Ukraine.
How Western weapons have killed an additional 300,000 to 400,000 Ukraine boys since the West torpedoed the peace in March of ‘22. Remember how YOU have told us continually there was no settlement negotiated in Istanbul? Wrong! Update: How Western weapons bought by another $14 Billion in Western “aid”(the other $47 Billion of $61 never leaves the swamp beltway or is funneled to continue payoffs to the Uke and DC corrupt oligarchs. READ the actual Senate bill) will keep the war going and kill another 100,000 Ukes before the country bled completely dry of men.
Wrong. We sick and tired of our politicians wasting time and money on this issue rather than dealing with the problems we have in this country.
The ‘chance’ Ukraine has is to delay the inevitable. Yes, they shoot down planes and sink ships - and they get replaced. Even if the 31,000 KIA number is true (I think not), attrition and engagement management is problematic with limited logistical resources. All the Russians need do is to ping-pong attacks at dispersed fronts and UKR plays the catch-up game.
Even with France and Germany stepping up, the one big factor, US support, will end come this November. Biden will no longer need UKR as a distraction - win or lose, support goes.
If you have to keep repeating the debunked Russian lies & propaganda, it just shows how desperate you are
Here’s to another year of Russia flailing around on the battlefield!
You use the buzz-word “debunked” a lot.
Its a standard MSM propaganda word, straight from the training manual
who do you work for?
“Officials here affirmed to The Post that Russian forces have been dying at a rate of roughly six to one compared to Ukraine’s troops. “
PATHETIC. The propaganda just reverses the real numbers and takes a victory lap over dead Ukrainian bodies. The Ukraine ran out of adequate weapons a long time ago and Russia hasn’t. The Ukraine is conscripting pizza delivery boys and persons 15 to 60 - some of whom are disabled. The Ukraine has advised women to prepare for conscription.
If the Ukraine was actually thriving, they wouldn’t be begging for money and Lloyd Austen wouldn’t be threatening to send America’s sons, daughters, brothers etc.
Russia wanted to drive the Ukraine to negotiate so it hamstrung infrastructure, thinking that the Ukrainian leadership would actually care that the public was sitting in the dark without water. When it became obvious that too many citizens were on their own, they left the country as refugees. Putin could have killed them instead of their infrastructure, but he didn’t want to. He could have taken their land, but he didn’t want to. He wanted to remove the biowarfare labs, which he did on the first initial onslaught. He wanted the Ukrainians to stop bombing Ethnic Russians living in Eastern Ukraine and they refused so now he’s removing their capacity to do so. He wanted to keep NATO from overthrowing Russia to form its one world government (WEF, UN, NATO, WHO etc) and he’s stopping them.
You’re a lying ghoul to cheer lead the destruction.
Still not out fight. Let Britain and France protect Europe. They have experience there in the 1850s. “Half a League Onward!”

“the Russian army is advancing in Kharkiv, Donetsk, and Zaparozha...”
And just like in 2022 they’ll soon be:
-mired in mud
-fixed in place
-out of supplies
-isolated
-picked off in opportunity engagements
-abandon their equipment in the field
-withdraw
Maybe in 20 years it will enter Russian military dogma no to advance into mud when in enemy territory. ...Nah.
” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky last week revealed that about 31,000 Ukrainian forces have died in combat since Russia invaded “
When one starts with this sort of colossal lie, everything that follows is just pure fantasy.
Ukraine artificial limb suppliers have admitted to 30-50K amputations as of mid 2023. Typical amputation rates for peer war are less than 10 percent of total casualties.
So we had more than 300 to 500 K casualties even mid 2023. Add at least 50 percent for another 8 months and we have ~450 to 750 K casualties and at least 150K to 250K Ukraine deaths.
Ukraine is building its third army of this war. Where did the first two go ?
One week
After hitler killed himself
The north western German front
W / o orders
Refused to surrender
When they finally did
They were marched east
They were amazed
Past many - many Russian tanks - air planes
This is what gay nazi
Nato - ukraine is facing now
Gog gay nazi usa
MaGog gay nazi nato - un - Vatican
