2 days ago, Jake Bro posted on his blog that casualties are over 450,000 for the Russian army. He has been reporting from day 1 and updates these figures every blog.
Since I heard figures of 300 thousand a couple of months ago, I think Katerina is talking about 50,000 casualties in this very latest offensive. I heard a CIA officer say on TH-cam that the Russians do not notice casualties until they lose 500 thousand. So fifty thou more to go if that is correct. I also note they are using African and Napalese mercenaries.
Where did you hear the cia officer ?????????

Russia's strategic forces, long-range aviation, cyber capabilities, space capabilities, and capabilities in the electromagnetic spectrum have lost no capacity at all. The air force has lost some aircraft, but only about 10 percent of their fleet. - Us general Christopher G Cavoli (congress in Europe April 10 2024)
@@glintongordon6811 certainly losing more than they can produce and train personel to use it,hence why the prisons are being opened.only meat cannonfodder worthy are replacements ..50k dead MINIMUM for every dead theres 3 injured,400,000 dead and injured is not far off from reality.Putin will not stop and have loss of face,he'd rather die and the blame being placed on his replacement
@@glintongordon6811True but those forces are useless in winning the war. Good luck gaining ground with cyber forces. Btw, regarding the electro magnetic spectrum, shooting down two A-50’s with their crew is a massive loss of expertise. Lossing “only” 10 percent of once airforce is actually a catastrophic failure.
Feel bad for Ukrainians, what a shame,tragedy that they dont have the tools to proper defend their country against the brutal agression by Russia..hope and pray that Ukraine will get much needed aid in near future🙏🙏🙏🇺🇦👍
The vote I believe is Saturday, and assuming it passes, the aid will arrive in Ukraine very soon. Biden will sign immediately after the House approves.
Let's hope tomorrow (Saturday) the US aid bill for Ukraine passes. Then Ukraine can end this war their way.
@@philiplbrownLet's hope so 🙏. Don't forget Putin and DJT are ALLIES. Big problem there for Ukraine 🇺🇦 getting aid. Ukraine should have been allowed to join NATO before the 2022 invasion. Any NATO opposing Ukraine membership should be kicked out of that organization.
Vote Saturday evening. Likely to pass. Only a minority of Putin's tools in the House oppose it.
We cant help them. We don't have the industrial capacity.

Yes, she was excellent!! Really knows her stuff!

🫵😮
Where is ISW based? Who controls it?
Agreed. We are all thirsty for good analysis.
Her org. ISW is hardly impartial.It is a neo -con think tank which is directly related to Victoria Nuland. If the Russian losses can be decribed as ‘staggering’ then what this propagandist Stepanenko is not mentioning is that UKR AF losses are at least 3x what Russian losses are. think about it? Russia has a 10x ARTILLERY advantage which means that UKR losses would be proportionatel higher.
I am surprised that the Russian people are not out protesting about the loss of their children
Lots of those people are from far flung dirt poor regions in Siberia.
As long as Moscovites or Saint Petersburg citizens are not dying in sufficient numbers Russia will stay the course.
Apparently, the Russian mothers consider it a win to trade a child for a sack of potatoes.
And the Ukrainians aren,t bothered by 3 % of men are ded or disabled and hospitals are full and 5 % have fled.
When there are protests, Russian thugs dressed as policemen start dragging people away 😢
Very simple because it will be targeted by the government.Don't you understand What it's like to live in a Communist country, wake the f*** up.
Ruzz has been busy clearing out its jails. The quality of such soldiers is inevitably low and attrition high. However, sheer numbers enable gains to be made.
At the same time the country is reducing the cost of prison upkeep. Reportedly a number of jails have already been able to be closed.
Reportedly from whom? The wagnarians took I belive up to 30 thousand. Let's say the same number of storm z troops have been mobilized. That's at most 60 thousand. Up to 30 thousand are being signed up each week. Most are reservists and volunteers. There are no territorial defence, police, or force mobilized on rf side. Before they step on the battle field they are getting 2-6 month refresher training. In Ukraine there are instances that a solder died in less then a week from being dragged off the streets.
There are towns in eastern Russia where no more men of fighting age exist only women children and old folks are left.

they picked up the weapons of the dead ahead of them a massive wave of men in reserve.
It's not only the losses that are staggering, it is also the total disregard of them from the Russian mafia.
And here's another liar. There's nothing 'staggering' about the Russian losses. There is, however something very 'staggering' about the Ukrainian losses - the one's you can't being yourself to speak about.
The real staggering losses are those on the Ukrainian side - though you won't get to hear that from The Times.
But Ukraine is more currupt than Mexico in 2023 over one billion of aid from the USA went missing these billion dollars didnt make it to the honest Ukranian people
@@AlanBolshevikThe problem is that Putin made battlefield losses a state secret which would’ve worked except he also promised the families of the dead and wounded - compensation! Unfortunately no one explained this to the Russian Labor Ministry that was in charge of issuing these death certificates and the Russian Finance Ministry in charge of handing out this money as they triumphantly announced how many has died by October 2023!
Russia’s Ministry of Labour has requested 230,000 certificates for family members of deceased combat veterans and over 750,000 certificates for combat veterans, which is several times more than before (such documents are to certify that a person took part in combat.
Russian Ministry of Finance requested 6 billion rubles for 2024 to pay 22,000 rubles to each family of the 287,000 deceased combat war veterans.
That’s brutal more than 1/3 of Russian military dies . INSANE.
I wonder if they add convicts and forgeign volunteers to that ?
In Moscow everything just carries on… no one is interested. That’s how it is.

@@operator9858 not worried. Life is good.
Moscow, St Petersburg and a couple of other large cities are insulted from the effects of war but the people across the rest of Russia are feeling it. This is tactical as these cities need to be kept running to prop up the Russian economy and reduce the extent of protests/risk of rebellion.
usa set to approve the 60 billion defence bill that will also free up the seized russian funds 300 billion , add that to the 100 billion from nato countries , ukraine is about to get the support along with israel and taiwan,
80% goes to the US. Only morons think the way you're doing.
just more cash for the Ukrainian oligarchs to steal... Europe and the US simply don't have the military production capacity.

Well, that numbers aren't obviously catastrophic enough...
What is always a good interview is when we tune in to TIMES RADIO, and Kate's interview with Kateryna Stepanenko is a prime example. The terrible thing that strikes me right in the heart when I think of the Russian soldiers, and I am not forgetting how terrible Russian soliders have been towards Ukrainian civilians, but the thing that makes my blood boil so-to-speak is how Russian military officers and right up to the boss in the Kremlin have had such a disregard for human life. No one can imagine what it must be like for a Russian mother or father to recieve a dreaded telegram from the Defense Department about the loss of their son. Moreover; the thing that is incredible is how careless the people in charge of the military are in protecting the lives of ordinary soldiers. There are no words to describe knowingly sending in poorly trained and equipped soldiers to the front lines...
RU strategy has ALWAYS been such. The territories are kept depleted of potential troublemakers by sending them to battle. 2 birds with one stone.
ISW is well informed,they are very good at their job,they been spot on during this war,they know what they doing and i trust them 100%..no bs,lies
kagen/nuland institute
Sure. ISW is so accurate that they can't even explain why its Ukriane who needs half a million mobilization if Russia is losing soldiers.
The ISW's founder, Kimberly Kagan, is the niece of Victoria Nuland. Hardly unbiased methinks.
ISW are a bunch of neocon professional liars. Is that why you like them?
😂
and another main reason why Ukrainians have a bit fewer deaths, is that the Ukrainians have excellent battlefield medical, with ample medical supplies from the NATO nations and allies. Plus they get excellent battlefield medical and evac to local and NATO hospitals. Also NATO doctors hep out too.
And the Ukrainians do not shoot their own wounded. There are instances where Ukrainians are forced to leave their wounded but its much less frequent compared to their Russian counterparts,
The Ukrainians value their own soldiers much more than the Russians.
Also Ukrainians tactics are not wasteful of their manpower, Ukrainians do not engage in Meatgrinder tactics, and make sure the Russians pay a lot of blood for ever meter of Ukrainian land they advance on.
well, more fakes and mythes, please. About medicine, about shooting their own wounded, about tactics, etc. BTW, where is videos with Russian meatgrinder attacks?
@@solderdesolder more russian bs bots.
That's the defender's advantage; shorter supply lines and better medical care on hand. Russians spam infantry like how they spam artillery; they simply have more to expend and they do.

And you're yet another one who just can't dare to ask the question that you should be asking.
The BBC method is based on graves and known obituary. It is very conservative and I would think 250k dead is not high.
It literally makes no difference if it’s 50k or 100k for the outcome of the war. The majority of war ends in negotiations, neither side is rarely ever completely defeated. Especially in this day and age with nuclear deterrence.
@@lukeatbrandynightful I don't think @captaingaming1359 was inviting a lesson in philosophy of war. Your answer is no better than if you were trolling him.
With the loss of that latest bomber, all the planes before that, the helicopters, tanks, afvs, the expended missiles, the lost & injured men, the flagship and other ships -- plus the gas pipes to nowhere, the sanctions, all the good Russians and investment leaving... I'd say this adventure is officially a big "L" now for Russia, no matter how things go from here on out.
Informative. Believable. No sensationalizing just factual. Refreshing vs.those accounts where you doubt the truthfulness of what your being told. Bottom line is Russia is in a real fight with a determined Ukraine. Ukraine needs significant aid to continue its fight for freedom.
The American Sec. Def. has stated that Russia has lost more than 300,000 troops either to death or injury that left them unable to fight again.
thats more like it....
i believe him
Unfortunately Russia has reached an equilibrium ATM with troop losses. Russia losing around the same amount that join monthly. Which is close to 1000/day.
1000 in. 1000 bagged/injured. Not sure about Ukraine even if ratio is 3:1 or 2:1 or 1:1 huge loses for them too.
@@matfudge1143 lol ok
And you actually BELIEVE them? Okay...
The fact the Orcs are having to conduct attacks with golf carts and unarmored trucks says it all. The Orcs went for broke while UKR was lacking aid and still failed to break through UKR lines. And now the Orcs have wasted their material for no real gains.
Such is an orc's life.
the fact that ‘dehumanisation’ is around halfway on the 10 steps to genocide list, says you should likely seek help.
Orcs using civilians cars to move around the battlefield is just emberassing
Orcs?

Thankyou Kate & Kateryna for your topical reporting ! Regards from AUS
Kate is finally back! I was afraid she was gone. I missed her pleasant face, which made the hard news a bit easier to take. And her interview skills are excellent. Welcome back Kate!
The losses are large, not unlike WWII battlefields except for the large scale frontline battles.
Excellent interview.
Excellent insights.
I´d like to know how much the Japanese support has progressed. It was going through the media space that Japan plans to support Ukraine more strongly.
Just counting graves doesn`t take account of the dead soldiers simply left on the battlefield and those vapourised inside exploding tanks and APCs
The term used to describe Soviet tactics during the second world war is "human wave assaults", the indiscriminate expenditure of human lives.
Except there is no proof of it on the battlefield... Everything in this war is televised except for the meat wave tactics.
Stalin strategy not PUTIN
Another stellar interview. Wow, Kate, just wonderful.
Really good interview!
The people of UK must be so proud, so caring about helping US democracy, in a country so far away, at the cost of the destruction of everything, and the deaths of so many ukrainian boys' lives.
With their help, Ukraine is being saved. In ruins, but saved.
The 50,000 KIA figure is not an estimate, it's a minimum.
50,000 Russia soldiers killed in action is what could be conclusively PROVEN using publicly available records. We know, however, that those publicly available records do not count all Russian soldiers who died in Ukraine. What we don't know is how much the 50,000 proven KIA is underestimating the numbers by.
Best guess estimates are about 110,000 Russia soldiers killed and about 200,000 wounded. Ukraine, by contrast, has suffered somewhere around 50,000 to 60,000 KIA and maybe 150,000 wounded (attacking forces almost always suffer more loses than defending forces, and this war is no exception).
The real question is whether Russia can keep having 50,000+ dead soldiers and 100,000+ seriously wounded soldiers per year, and how long can they keep that up. That is worse than the entire 10-year Afghan war every single year, and they'll need probably at least 10 to 15 more years of it to capture Kyiv (more like 100 to 150 years at the rate their going, but the "best case" for Russia is 10 years more of war at current rate of loses).
Zelensky says the Ukrainian army is 880,000 strong... and they've lost only 31,000 KIA... yet they need 500,000 new soldiers... make it make sense.
useless estimate as its a million miles shy of the real toll
So Ukraine has lost half the number according to you and has a much smaller population but you think it is Russia in trouble? Also Russia hasn't had massive numbers flee the country. Also, thinking they need to capture Kiev is just nuts. They will surrender long before Russia gets to western Ukraine and cities that aren't going to belong to Russia after the war are being bombed,
@@michaelh878 in the past year Russia has advanced by roughly 10 to 15km at their most successful points along the frontline. At the rate they are going it will take the better part of a decade to capture Donetsk.
So, the real question for Russians is how many years of 25,000 to 50,000 dead per year are they willing to put up with just so that Putin can get some statues of himself?
I could tell you how wrong you are in a 100 different ways, but you believe what you've written and are therefore too f'in dumb to understand.
Brilliant analysis by Mrs Stapanenko. Very intelligent threads, and excellent flow with Kate. Must see!
There's nothing 'brilliant' about this at all. it's just another paltry propaganda deception.
So how many Ukrainians have fallen so far with munition superiority and air superiority from Russia if they loose so many, oh I remember 31k said by zelenski
The problem is how many are left.
Everything is good Madame la Marquise, everything is good everything is fine, the house is on fire, but everything is fine.
USA needs to make a long term commitment to Ukraine and Europe.
Once Trump is in, I could see four years of actually trying to win, and press unconditional surrender out of Russia --- exhausted or not.
Its not “fighters” its soldiers!
No really ? You certainly had an awakening and a brain storm there . We would have never guessed it.

@@user-mh7ek6ud8ethey don't count.
@@user-mh7ek6ud8eyou seem to be confused as to what the Vietnam war was all about. The only imperial force was communism coming from the soviet union and china, so be careful about the words you use.
Why do they talk about 50,000 Russian losses when the actual number is closer to 400,000?
Because the number isn't 400,000? That number comes from the same people who told us that there was a Ghost of Kyiv and that their Spring/Summer counteroffensive would see them liberate Crimea by August 2023.
The 50,000 is verified deaths. The actual number is higher.
perhaps casualties rather than deaths
Did you count them? When it comes to body counts, I believe nobody. I'm sure the losses are horrific on both sides.
the Russians have definitely had at least 300,000 wounds in the war. That is everything, including the same guy hurting his arm and being taken to a field hospital or someone having minor burns. Approximately 50,000 is how many are actually KIA, buried in cemetaries. The Ukrainian side has something similar but theirs is worse because they really lack reserves. Ukrainian troops are Soviet-quality conscripts, lost at the same rate as Russia's, having no better capabilities and their top general also simply being educated in a Moscow academy
Odd that she speaks of tens of thousands of russian casualties, when many other platforms speak of hundreds of thousands?
This is just a minimum, since it's only casualties confirmed from public obituaries.

you win funny of the day
I can't forget the captured phone calls from numerous Russians to the effect that "80% of our corp is dead" or "only 3 or 42 is still alive" or "no one who joined with me is alive". Then there's the infamous 230,000 death certificates ordered by the regime. The toil of wounded Russians is far greater considering their limited response to injuries (running away, shipping them off to a hospital, pain medicine)
50k sounds suspiciously low for relentless sustained attack, just as 30k for the opposite side sounds low for eating shells and dive bombs every day.
50K dead is the number that could be conclusively proven based on publicly available records. It isn't an "estimate" but a minimum.
Best-guess estimate is that Russia has lost about 100,000 to 120,000 and Ukraine has lost about 50,000 to 60,000 dead, with about 200,000 to 250,000 wounded for Russia and 100,000 to 150,000 wounded for Ukraine. We might never know exact numbers, but it is clear that this is the bloodiest war since WWII and it is also clear that Russia is losing soldiers than Ukraine, as can be expected since storming a dug-in position always results in higher loses. Along those lines, a large proportion of Ukraine's loses came from their summer 2023 offensive when they tried to storm dug-in Russian positions.
As an interesting example of this, Russia has lost a proven 300+ armoured vehicles (video evidence exists showing that many destroyed vehicles), each with perhaps 2 to 4 crew members, attempting to take the village of Novomykhailivka. So perhaps 900 dead and Russia hasn't captured the village yet.
There were approximately 1,400 people living in that village before Russia's invasion in 2014.
Did you even listen to the piece?
´ 30k for the opposite side sounds low for eating shells and dive bombs every day.´
Ya think?
Some maths for you: subtract 30k from the supposed 800,000 - 1million strong that Ukraine claim they have and try to calculate why Ukraine now have a ´manpower shortage´
No more clues.
The first figure is correct plus or minus 20%. The second figure you can x20.

@@davidlloyd2583 Less drones? You’re joking right? I advise you to actually look at several different media, not just Russian propaganda channels. One thing is absolutely certain. Russian losses are at least 2 to 3 times as high as Ukrainian losses.
@@davidlloyd2583 Anyway, you can fire of as much munition as you like but without proper accuracy and actual knowledge on the target you will achieve next to nothing.
Ukraine is mobilising by false 500,000 new men. What happened to the army and azov Brigade they did have ??
Being forced to constantly defend territory instead of advancing does not appear to be a winning strategy. Putin can just continue to throw stuff at it for as long as it takes. I feel sorry for the people who are being attacked and just want to get on with their lives without living under a dictatorship,
I can never understand how they come up with the numbers of deceased Russians. We were looking at over 400 thousand in the fall of 2023 then the numbers decreased and rose then now we are talking 50 thousand who and what are they numbering.
Propaganda numbers vs real numbers maybe
part of the problem is that casualties are often conflated with fatalities.
the number of russian casualties (wounded and killed) was approximately 400k in the fall and winter of 2023, now its somewhat confirmed that the number of dead russian soldiers is somewhere between 120-150k, with the number wounded being around 300-380k. so the numbers are steadily increasing.
You're getting confused between estimates of deaths and estimates of deaths and wounded. I know it's confusing, but these varying estimates are actually fairly similar.
All numbers about Russian losses are sourced from Ukraine or UK or US government, all of which have an interest to exaggerate the Russian losses for propaganda purposes. The only reasonable estimate comes from a Western financed Russian "NGO" which counts the war related funerals and obituaries in Russia. This estimate stands at 40k killed Russian soldiers. Ukrainian losses have been top secret during the entire war, and no Western politician or journalist was ever interested in finding out the number or publishing an estimate. Several months ago, the EU commission president Ursula von der Leyen said in live speech that "Russia and Ukraine each lost over 100k soldiers". That sentence was censored in the official video and printout of the speech, but the original was of course on TH-cam already.
Very interesting analysis. Time for West to deliver on commitments.
It's always sweet to listen to ant -kremlin quest speakers. The point is that most of what they say don't tally with the situation on the ground.

@@aleccap5946 I know I was being facetious. The strength of the Ukraine army in 2022 was around 880,000, if they have only lost 31,000 then why are they desperate to recruit another 500,000?
By the way the number of military age Ukrainian men living abroad is estimated to be above one million.
@@JohnSmith-fr7js Western agencies are reluctant to publicly speculate about Ukrainian casualties, but in August 2023, U.S. officials told The New York Times that around 70,000 Ukrainian soldiers had been killed, with up to 120,000 wounded.
That figure would makes sense to me. Substantially fewer casualties than Russia, but still horrendous losses. As Ukraine has mostly been in defence, and defenders usually suffer significantly fewer casualties, it sounds plausible.

50 000 is ridiculous I've seen upper estimates of 400 000 so the losses are probably at least somewhere in between
Confirmed kills only. And exclusively via online research only. Likely much more dead with many many more injured and out of the fight.

Three battalions have already escaped to Russia and safety. ukrainians volunteers have formed an entire battallion fighting WITH Russian brothers against the asiatic ashke-nazists usurping their lands.
Your delusions make for a good laugh.
Possibly, but unverified.
For Ukraine true.

Strange the focus on Russian losses,but no mention of the Ukrainian losses at all
Not at all, for Russia this war is just a political whim for Putin, increasing deaths will put him in a very risky political position at home and that is key to the war ending and Ukrainian territory returned.
Times Radio is a propaganda channel, that's why.
Times Radio is a lying propaganda channel, that's why. No real journalist's there!
Just yesterday I saw a story about some Russian soldiers refusing officers' orders because it meant certain death. Anyone know about this story?
I think you might have got mixed up with all those kind of stories from the Ukrainian side
@@AlanBolshevikI think you mixed up your Kremlin’s notes
As im a Ukraine supporter buddy, you will hear stories like this all the time, and stories like 500 russian soldiers gave up and surrendered to Ukraine. Its all propaganda. Basically lies.
@@AlanBolshevikbut it’s pootin’s soldiers who are dying flies, as nothing came out of his promise to finish Ukraine in 3 weeks. And he had thought he was ruling over a superpower. He lost precious ships to attacks by a nation that does not even have a navy.
@melelona7678 Yes, the Russians miscalculated at the beginning, thinking Ukraine would just roll over.
But things have changed a lot since then. How do you explain the Ukrainians needing to recruit 500,000 new soldiers and passing a law saying troops on the front can not be demobilised (therefore, only way out is either dead or wounded badly)?
LOL. Casualties are currently meaningless to the person who just said "Russia Is Invincible!"
Dang this girl knows her stuff.
Ukraine has lost 500,000 dead and over a million wounded....
True but not the will to fight. Russian forces on the other hand...
Mate if you believe that I have some magic beans to sell you…
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@runforrestrun1965 Don't need to be a genius to see something of a home game advantage. Whatever you believe, domestic propaganda is easier too, a narrative of fight for ones home vs evil neighbour that looks and sounds just like you. I suppose you think morale is a non-issue? I'm not particularly interested in magic beans but I do know a Nigerian prince you may be interested in...
NO !! RUSSIA has lost 500,000 dead and over a million & half wounded....but dont forget they continue to lose as losers more than 900 +KIA every Day . @@ hahaah !!

1:55 Is she really saying "Ukrainian forces were able to exhaust and culminate(?) Russian forces after the battles of..."?
BBC is too Russian friendly, how can they have a reporter in Moscow (while others cannot) with a too cautious and friendly face towards Putin 😖
It's great that you are giving us the statistics on Russian losses in this War but there is also Ukrainian statistics that we hear nothing about. It's time for you to share that information.
Thank the stars there's someone else here asking the 'elephant in the room' question. Thanks
And what about those numbers for Ukraine? What about ammo supplies, air defence, tanks and of course what about men? How about all this? How catastrophic is it for Ukraine right now with all this?
You won't get facts like those here. War Propaganda is like that.
Shhhh.
usually only one fifth . Now go back to Russia and stop hiding in the West .
@@davidblake1663 pathetic so it is.
Have you heard of "what-about-ism"?
These battles in Ukraine amoung the oliarchs drinking parties are a topical subject that is of passing interest.
Outstanding... Well done.
I suggest, that Ukraine - for one - needs a healthy active and passive civil-defense / comprehensive contingencies-management capabilities.
I'd love to help you do it.
It needs champions, like you.

Ukraine has lost 500,000 dead and over a million wounded. thats why
@@ykcirnhoj2225 I have no doubt that is true. Which makes it all the more sad. I mourn for them all.
50k of Russian losses is short by about 9x. When Ukraine reported around 375K Russian losses, US intelligence confirmed about 370K, if my memory is correct. Ukraine is now reporting over 450K. The front line is one aspect of the war in which Russia is currently taking small amounts of territory. More significantly, Russia is crushing Ukrainian civilian infrastructure and other terrorist-style activities. Ukraine has made significant gains in sinking ships in the Russian Black Sea fleet and downing multiple military aircraft assets. It is also making substantial advances in taking out military infrastructure.
Ukraine hasn't made any substantial gains, and you are incapable of making any comment that isn't totally polluted by your own bias.
Ukraine also said there was a Ghost of Kyiv and that they would take Crimea by August 2023. They have no credibility.
@@robertatkins9419 Marty isn't the sharpest tool in the box.
"When Ukraine reported around 375K Russian losses, US intelligence confirmed about 370K"
Solid information, no doubt about it at all)
@@CountDuckEgg No, obviously not.
Yeah sure. Been hearing this since day 1.
Kateryna presents a balanced and knowledgeable analysis of the situation. She has the facts to hand. This is an insightful and informative interview. Thank you Times Radio. 👍
funny
I hear what I want to hear = insightful and informative interview
It seems to be mostly soviet era equipment and vehicles being used and lost for the most part, the question is whether Russias cutting edge technology is effective or not, the last generation of NATO vehicles is just as vulnerable in this type of warfare. Drones especially are frighteningly effective and the next generation of armoured vehicles needs to be completely redesigned to cope. It seems poor population’s need to be reduced and war has always been the way. Russia can afford to throw poor people and soviet trash at the Ukrainians without really spending massive amounts, they must still have masses of next generation equipment in reserve or waiting to replace lost obsolete equipment. I watch the uncensored footage and it’s a particularly horrible war compared to any in recent years, it’s a meatgrinder on both sides like ww1. Both sides are merciless and effective but losing thousands of men a week regardless of propaganda. It’s a moonscape covered in decaying bodies and burned out vehicles and there’s no hiding from drones dropping granades and spotting artillery on your head. Horrible and terrifying war.
That's what they've got. The new stuff doesn't seem to work very well. You'll be familiar with the Armata fiasco. The gear doesn't matter, it's the personnel that cannot be replaced easily. That's why they have to use convict and foreign mercenaries.
Excellent interview. Thanks!!
They are attacking again and again in golf carts without any protection. Russian soldiers has the shortest lifespan of all professions.
Sure man. The world revolves around ignorants like you. Can your propaganda media explain why Ukrianian lines are breaking everywhere and why it's Ukraine who's crying for mobilization and pulling people out of street?
You're talking about the Ukrainian soldiers, but you're pretending to be talking about Russian ones.
@@robertatkins9419fake TH-cam account made 1 year ago for Kremlin’s disinformation campaign
@@robertatkins9419 You're pretending that cameras don't exist.
@@foilhat1138you don’t see negative videos on TH-cam.
The defence department last summer put the number at 65,000 dead British military intelligence at 80,000 Ukraine insisted 125,000. Recently Russian dead est 125,000 to 250,000 depending on who you ask. No way near 50,000. Total casualties at 450,000 all agree on this.
At first I thought there was a mistake in the title of the video, but no, they really think that Russia has problems.
This program was proudly brought to you by the Military Industrial Complex 😂
You mean Russia? Putin has been converting the country into an arms manufacturing economy. No doubt in your head that's different in some way.
And YOU bought no stock...
The Russian bots seem very selective about what Times Radio videos they troll. Not this one, as it happens. As if not even those idiots can deny the fact that Russian losses have been horrific.
LOLz
We'll see when the war memorials are errected. They're likely to have fewer than 100k on them. Although, you'll say it's 'Putin's lies'. Where as Ukraine has lost in excess of 200k already. And people like you cheer it on. You make me sick.
47th mechanised brigade and 115th brigades...
Defensive weapons will stall any advances of the Russian machine. With longer range weapons stalling any reinforcements for future expansion.
It would take many years to identify and find all the missing conscipts russian would never do that though heros of the federation.
please try to be more informed. Russian army in Ukraine has no conscripts.
Conscript are recent solider with limited training ,there are many of them littered in the fields of ukraine.russia does not want to take there body's home 🏠 as it would cost to much for reparations to the family's involved that's a war crime to the Russian people.
Probably would do that to its own recruits
The Times is obsessed with Putin but never do any videos on the Sudan war or the war in Myanmar and that evil junta.
Well, this is on our doorsteps where as Sudan or Myanmar or former Burma is not , besides they are no threat to our security here where as Russia is a direct threat to Europe . Whats so hard to understand . To tell you the truth i could not care less whats happening in Myanmar or Sudan but as a European i am ultra concerned about the war in the Ukraine .
What are the losses on the Ukrainian side ?
Zero losses! In fact, billions of Russians are dead, and two billion of Ukranians are battle ready. There's just one little issue here...
@@ConnorJane Not quite. In the press conference of February 25th, Zelensky said "31,000 Ukrainian soldiers have died in this war. Not 300,000 or 150,000, or whatever Putin and his lying circle are saying. But each of these losses is a great loss for us." Couldn't say it better myself. As for the Russian losses, they are 100% avoidable and self-inflicted, so why mention them, Jane? Family ties? If so, try to talk some sense into them.
@@fjslfhalfhkdjfh So regardless artillery ratio 1 to 8 for the Russians
.and Air superiority...ukraine' loses are less ? 😂. You must be Special !
@@JohnCSmith-lp1qr The defending party has that much of an advantage. That's why you shouldn't be the first to attack, Johnny boy. The Russians now are suffering even more than the Ukrainians did in their last offensive, because, well... you know, Russians;)
@@fjslfhalfhkdjfh what defending . The Russians just blew up Ukraine s Counteroffensive. Also it looks like the Ukrainians ran out of man ...another mobilisation lowering the age ..that tells it all. Next they will mobilize toddlers and Elders
The tactics are not meat grinder. The Russians are employing calculated attrition. This is combined w "nibbling" where they nibble out small gains so as to force the Uks to closely defend which makes the calculated attrition more effective. The attrition is grinding down the morale of the Uks. Their morale is showing signs of cracking. With no relief for the Uk soldier on the ground this contributes to crushing their morale.
Further the Uks lost their combat engineers in their attacks last summer they now lack them as they need to build their own fortifications. The Russians are massing to attack in the North so as to render all the fortifications on the main front as outflanked.
20:19 "... defensive operations are not resource free... Ukrainians... would exhaust the Russian forces by launching their own offensive operation... "
SLAVA UKRAINE 🇺🇦
3 minutes in, this woman had nothing new to say.
15:39 3 days to Kyiv.. General Miley said this... they don't need to attack Kyiv....they are destroying Ukraine will artillery in the east
17:02 ISW does not comment on Ukrainian casualty numbers.. I wonder why?😂😂😂
Because the ISW is an US "think tank" and the US is waging war against Russia. War participants always conceal their own losses.
Why all this talk about unaccurate delusive data.
Gotto serve copium.
