Putin's war of attrition is coming at a massive cost, with 5,000 soldiers killed or injured in the battle for one neighborhood

Havrylyuk said that people were seen as expendable by Putin in his mission to conquer Ukraine, but economic issues and problems supplying its troops with ammunition and equipment could soon blunt its campaign.

The ISW said that high casualties were part of Russian President Vladimir Putin's strategy to grind out a victory in Ukraine through a war of attrition.

"The recent increase in reports of entire Russian units becoming combat ineffective due to losses highlights the tactics on which Russian forces are relying on to pursue Putin's theory of a slow, gradual, grinding victory in Ukraine," it said.

Vladimir Putin is seeking to grind out a victory in Ukraine. But its coming at a massive cost in casualties. A Ukrainian officer said Russia lost 5,000 troops in battles for a district. Russia's war of attrition in Ukraine is coming at a huge cost in killed and injured troops, with a Ukrainian official claiming Russia suffered 5,000 casualties in battles for one neighborhood alone.

Ukrainian defense official Lieutenant General Ivan Havrylyuk, in an essay published in Ukrainian outlet NV on July 9, discussed the possibility of a new Ukrainian counteroffensive to drive back Russian forces occupying territory in the south and east of Ukraine.

In the article, Havrylyuk claimed that Russia would likely have trouble sustaining the initiative in the conflict using its manpower and equipment advantages. Havrylyuk pointed to massive Russian casualties he said its military was sustaining, claiming that 5,000 Russian troops were killed or injured in battles for control of a single district in the strategically vital town of Chasiv Yar in Donetsk, east Ukraine.

What a NERD!

I saw no Hollywood woke in this movie. Not even a hint of woke. The final battle scene was very good. I liked when double crossing Kai (he sure fooled me as he played the good guy) got killed by the farmer-grain trader guy.

It looks like Noble will be back as the villain. I would have had him die. To bring in a new villain. I have had enough of Nobleā€™s Nazi schtick.

I predict there will be parts 3 and 4. As Netflix wants its own Star Wars style franchise. That will translate well for Netflix subscribers in Asia (they love this stuff) and other nations.

The general consensus from unbiased sources is that the Ukrainian losses are much higher than Russian losses. Estimates range from at least a factor of two to as high as a factor of five.

This is what distinguishes the zeepers from us.

They can't accept the facts, but keep slamming the Media Koolaid from the same punchbowl where the Media was filling glasses with Biden Gaslight Hopium.

ā€œ Russia is launching head-on ā€œmeat assaultā€ attacks on Ukrainian positions using waves of troops with UK intelligence claiming that Russiaā€™s casualties in May spiked to its highest point in the war, with its military losing around 1,200 men a day.ā€
***************************************************

I follow this war closely. With the vast number of FPV drones flying from BOTH sides I would have expected to see these ā€œmeat assaultsā€ should they exist. Guess whatā€¦ thereā€™s a distinctive LACK of such video documentation. So THEY DONā€™T EXIST. This is NOT WW1! Lotā€™s of people are being killed or maimed but it is mainly due to large bombs and artillery.

And, in case youā€™re ignorant of the facts, ā€œUK Intelligenceā€ is war propaganda central. Just sayinā€™.
