Ukraine War: 'Russia has lost a third of their ground forces in Ukraine'
Sky News YouTube Channel ^ | May 15, 2022 | Sky News

Posted on 05/15/2022 9:10:55 AM PDT by Widget Jr

Ed Arnold, former British Army Officer and Research Fellow at the Royal United Services Institute has more on the situation in Ukraine. He said the battle is "effectively over" in Kharkiv and that Ukraine has won the fight in the city.

The UK Ministry of Defence has said that Russia has "lost a third of their forces deployed in Ukraine" and is "unlikely to accelerate their rate of advance in the next 30 days."

Their latest statement came as Russia's offensive in Donbas "lost momentum" and has "fallen significantly behind schedule."

“...remain classified for 100 years...”

</natch>

We still don’t have the (altered/sanitized) JFK records, which were due to be released a few years ago.

BS - Russia has not even mobilized it's assets. The reason for the slow down in Ukraine is that the Russian military totally miscalculated what it would take to win in Ukraine. They came in with too little to win a blitz and now things are bogged down. Both sides are mobilizing and re equipping for operations in the summer. The sane people of the world need to shut this down before a mobilized Russian army collides with a Ukraine army resupplied with hi tech western weapons. Things are about to get ugly fast.

#13. Because the U.S., Europe and Ukraine want the war to end. The current Ukrainian counter offensive and Russian retreat and repositioning is putting pressure on Moscow. That's why.

The question of why Austin called Shoigu unless Ukraine is losing comes from Gonzalo Lira. Before considering him credible, look into his background. His fifteen minutes are almost up.

Yeah our new ‘woke’ army. Maybe they can send the trannies over there to save Zelensky. And I question any Republican who voted for that additional $40 billion, just part of the swamp.

There are some clear facts here

1. Russia has lost a lot of troops.

2. Russia has lost lots of first rate troops, which is why they are looking for mercenaries

3. They have retreated from Kyiv and kharkiv. They have barely advanced in the past 2 months in Donbas

Putin’s Russia doesn’t have the demographic or economic depth as in 1943.

I agree. I don’t trust what we’re being told at face value. One day there will be a settlement and we’ll have a better understanding of the true cost. I think the only clear winner right now is Brandon. He managed to convince Putin that it was the right move to attack Ukraine with no skin off Joe’s nose.

“Because the U.S., Europe and Ukraine want the war to end.”

What planet are you living on? When Boris Johnson went to visit Zelensky last week, it was reported that Zelensky proposed negotiations with Russia to end this war. BoJo told him no, that neither the UK or the US would allow it.

The EU doesn’t want Ukraine, or rather didn’t want Ukraine. It was far away from becoming an EU member. Decades away.

China is not going to invade Russia. They don’t need to, thanks to Putin weakening Russia, the chinese can simply walk in and buy what they need. They will have a captive supplier and captive market

No it doesn’t, it came from the NY Post, which you would have seen if you bothered to follow the link I posted. Why do you Soros puppets continue lie?

Hmm. I was going to mention the German raid on Coventry as an example of the British sacrificing a civilian target to keep an important military secret. But Wikipedia claims that such an accusation has been refuted.

This is a guess and the 1/3’rd is 1/3rd of what Ivan deployed, not in total.
