Ukraine seems to have lost the Battle of Bahkmut. I heard experts say that this means Ukraine is winning.

Russia has lost only about 14k troops. Talk abut one sided victories, the Russians have led an incredible operation in Ukraine. I guess propaganda is only good for raising money, because it sure as hell isn’t winning any wars.

Awaiting the usual suspects to post how everything Russian has been destroyed.this seems to conflict with the narrative being pushed.

Russians have led an incredible failed battle in Ukraine.
Fixed it for you. The goal was to storm the airport and airlift in troops and tanks to to Kiev.
Fail on mulitiple opportunities.

Fail on mulitiple opportunities.1.) Russia thought they could achieve their objectives on the cheap.
2.) Ukraine bloodied their noses.
3.) Russia geared up for war.
That's it, in a nutshell.

That’s about 40 times the casualities the US had in the ME, and about 5 times the US casualties in the VietNam war.

Bahkmut was a bloody grind for a prestige objective.

Don’t fall for fake news. It’s attributed to CNN but there is no linked CNN source. They’re just made up numbers. This fake was first published by a random Twitter user 4 days ago. Even Wagner’s telegram channel says it’s fake.
The reason they create these fake stories is because even when people point out they’re made up, someone will chime in with ‘but they’re very high in any case’. So the fake stories like this anchor the casualty estimates at a higher level than would otherwise be the case.
It’s also nice for them when someone with some name recognition posts it.

Complete BS. Russia's goal was to liberate Russian speaking populations that Kiev was trying to eliminate. And to do that with as few civilian casualties as possible and without getting their own troops killed. In the face of Ukraine using civilian populations as human shields and just throwing their untrained soldiers in front of Russian artillery. Russia has been incredibly successful with it's slow and study tactics.

You can lie all you want, but the numbers don't lie.
Ok, but, the numbers must be corroborated, so, where's the proof?
Numbers don't lie, unless they're made up or not proven.
And, the numbers must not come from a biased source.

LOL, complete garbage. Russia has been methodical in it’s execution of this operation. With a kill ratio of about 14 to 1, it’s one for the textbooks.

Funny you would try to label Putin as Hitler when the nazis sympathizers are the Ukrainians.

The source is the Ukrainian General Staff (military) as cited by CNN.
If anything, those figures are biased to the low side.
The reality is much worse. As those dead and disabled soldiers were almost certainly their best and most well trained. You don’t throw the JV out there first when you’re being invaded.
