Russia now controls 20% of Ukraine, says Zelensky
Israeli National News ^ | 02/06/22 | David Rosenberg

Posted on 06/02/2022 6:41:06 PM PDT by delta7

“…. While elaborating on the damage suffered by Ukraine during the war, Zelensky also highlighted Russian causalities, claiming that over 30,000 Russian soldiers have been killed thus far.

“The occupiers’ death toll is already more than 30,000 soldiers. That's greater than the death toll of the Soviet Union in 10 years of war in Afghanistan. Greater than Russia’s death toll in two Chechen wars. But this does not stop Russia. This state is still ready to lose and kill, kill people.”

NATO estimates of Russia’s casualties are roughly half of those offered by Zelensky, with the British Defense Ministry estimating in late May that as many 15,000 Russian soldiers may have died in the war with Ukraine. But NATO officials also said May 23rd that Russia’s losses could be as low as 7,000 dead – less than a quarter of Ukraine’s estimate.”

Western MSM numbers all over the place. How come western MSM ( and by the little beggar Zelensky’s official decree) is forbidden to publish the massive loses being suffered by the Ukies? Non western MSM is reporting entire Ukie Territorial units ( battalions) being totally decimated.

Don’t be fooled, the little beggar’s days are nearing an end, best for Zelensky to give up the ethnic Russian provinces, the Ukies isolated and pounded the Donbass with artillery since 2015, they never wanted them anyway.

So (yyy) admits to 20% of the country controlled by Russia, but what he didn't acknowledge is that Russia controls Ukraine's industrial heartland, 90% of its energy resources, and its critical ports and shipping.

It's over and I want our $40bn back.

“entire Ukie Territorial units ( battalions) being totally decimated.”

Some are refusing to fight for lack of support.

Whats to come? They will send the death squads in next. Start executing anyone who refuses to fight.

Its all lies. I watch folks wearing masks to this day and one must come to terms with these hard truths.

Russia is the largest producer of armaments in the world, larger than all NATO combined…..they will stop chewing when the meal is done, not sooner nor later, lies be damned

What about Ukraine losses? They do not have the same population—unless NATO sends in Armies—they are doomed. Best to seek peace now and keep Odessa or lose it too. The Donbas is becoming a meat grinder. Reminds me of the Civil War—in the end the south ran out of men—Grant was willing to take the losses—Lee could not. Russia can still build and equip armies, Ukraine is running low. The longer the war, the more land and people Mr. Z loses. Sometimes being a hero means having to make hard choices. Make the best of what you can get. Give peace a chance as the old hippies said.

Indian and other non western news sources are reporting groups of Ukie soldiers found hands tied, bullet in the back of the head. A few Ukie Territorial soldiers video stating “ traitors” and “ deserters” and those refusing to fight are being executed.
Exactly why the little beggar Zelensky will be ousted after Russia finishes it’s meal. The truth will come to light, and from the Ukies themselves ( like Mariupol).

Russia has practically ceased to suffer losses during the special operation in Ukraine, this is the result of a change in the approach to the conduct of hostilities - Chairman of the State Duma Defense Committee Kartapolov.

“We have practically stopped losing people. The extreme figures released by the Ministry of Defense in March are 1,351 dead. At present, of course, there are wounded, but there are no such number of dead. And this is the result of a change in approach to the tactics of warfare,” he said.

According to Andrey Kartapolov, at the initial stage, when the Russian Armed Forces entered the territory under the control of Ukraine, no weapons were used. However, after the Russian military began to be shot and captured, the tactics were changed.

“Now this tactic is bringing tangible results,” concluded the parliamentarian.

That is quite an admission from Zelensky, not from Putin. I thought Ukraine was supposed to be winning.

More, or less.

7,000 SOUNDS about right.

But it’s certainly not 30,000. Nobody is dumb enough to believe that.

Russians had to use the tactics they did early on to stop a massive ukie invasion of the Donbas. After that phase of the op was over and the invasion stopped, there have been few if any Russians killed.

Ukies on the other hand have more or less run out of frontline soldiers and are drafting teenagers and using territorial guard ytoops on the front line i.e. just a basic meat-grinder. People who have never touched a firearm are being sent out to face the world's most dangerous military organization and not even allowed to retreat or do anything intelligent, guys trying to surrender are being shot in the back by the banderas and all of that sit is being directed by nato/pentagon orders.

The men in Donbas have been abandoned by Kiev.

With orders to not surrender.

No help, no relief is coming.

IF, the Ukraine keeps to its demands of Russian withdrawing out of all regions they now control..there will be no settlement.

EVER.

There is still enough left for a general killing.

I dont see this lasting much longer. August maybe.

BTW did you know that Grant and Lees movements are taught in the military schools in Germany and Austria? The Franco Prussian war where Prussia beat the French was a direct result of the Prussians being in the USA and watching the tactics of our civil war generals. Especially logistics.

I swear, if we had the will, we could have gone over to Europe and taken the whole dang place over with the military and commanders we had back then.
