It does sound better to say they are beaten by the invisible Russian army then admitting they are beaten by ragtag militia.Who loses, makes excuses.
But it is not the point - the point is that 72nd brigade was destroyed and not supplied by Kiev army with ammo and food, as I said so many times.
This video is corroboration from Kiev forces of what I've been telling all the time - army not capable of supplying forward forces is not an army. Soldiers scavenging for the scraps of food are not soldiers any longer. Government pocketing foreign aid is not a government but a bunch of goons.
You have no problem with that. As Romans say, Similis simili gaudet.
The 72nd brigade was not destroyed. You have a video of them telling their tales of how they were fighting off the Russian army, and thanking other brigade commanders for helping open up the cauldron for them to break through.
Yes, there was criticism early on that the Ukrainian army had allowed them to get incricled in the first place (for 3 weeks, fighting off Russkies), but that doesn't prove that the Ukrainians are losing the war. Since August 7th or 8th, and in the three weeks that they were in trouble, the Ukrainians have redoubled their efforts and solved many of these problems.
Sure, your Russkies are murderers taking many lives. But are the Russkies in Donetsk and Luhansk somehow winning the war? Since August, they've lost huge portions of their territory, including: Ilovaisk town in Donetsk region (July 30 – August 18; 17,600), Yasynuvata town (August 4-18; 37,000) in Donetsk region, Khryashchuvate village (August 15-18; 1,200) is a south-east suburb of Luhansk. Stanytsia Luhanska town (August 17-18; 15,700) is a north-east suburb of Luhansk. Chornukhine town (August 18; 7,700) in Luhansk region (near liberated Debaltseve), Maloivanivka village (August 18), Adrianivka (Adrianopil) village (August 18), Nyzhnya Krynka town (August 16; 13,900) in Donetsk region, Zhdanivka town (August 16; 13,600) to the south from Yenakiive city in Donetsk region. Ozerianivka village (August 16; 1,000) in 8 km from occupied Horlivka city in Donetsk region, and on and on and on:

Thus, all you are doing is citing a situation where there are losses to make it seem as if Ukraine is losing the war in general, and this, while simultaneously calling these same soldiers a liar since you deny that this is a Russian invasion, but one from homegrown separatists.
So shut up Russkie! You are a deranged psycopath sitting on our couch trying to make the case that your hero Putler is winning the conflict against the free-people of Ukraine.
