All Ukrainian men between the ages of 18 and 60 are banned from leaving the country. The Ukrainians have lost over 100,000 military casualties in this meat grinder. It is roughly equivalent to the US losing 800,000 if you account for population differences.

Col Douglas MacGregor has the number of Ukrainian casualties even higher, approaching 250,000 (KIA, wounded and missing). And to think this was all ironed out last March, except for Washington, London and the screaming Neocon class who demanded blood, and still do as is evidence on these threads.

That number ( 257,000 kia) reportedly came from recent Zaluzhny meeting with Milley

I assume given his previous position that McGregor has sources

By battle statistics, there should be a killed: wounded ratio of 1:3 or so…but the Uke numbers look like the slaughter rate is higher

Also almost 20,000 captured

The stats from besieged Bakhmut are not in
And the uke casualty rate is now rising in western Luhansk

The same team that gave us the 2014 coup in Ukraine that spawned the separatist movement in the Donbas and the Russian annexation of Crimea is in charge now. Victoria Nuland is the proconsul who sees this proxy war as payback for the humiliation she suffered in 2014. She could care less about the Ukrainian people and the death and destruction being visited upon them.
