A more reliable source in government, but you'll probably dismiss that and choose the source that gives you the info you prefer. And this is just Donetsk
A reliable Ukrainian source in the government (Arestovich) says Russians are dying at the rate of 100 each day (this is still a lot!).
It's a complete bollocks that 5x that number were killed in one day defending a tiny village.
Gotta love the propagandists logic, so lob nukes at Jersey which is very close to France and any fallout would most likely land. Pissing off two nuclear powers in the one move.
Not a hope Jersey would be nuked - too much money tied up there with the Oligarchs....
It's a good thing for Russia that the UK doesn't have 4 submarines, capable of carrying 8 Trident missiles, each carryying up to 8 warhead...or does it?
I dont' understand the purpose of such staged theatre unless it's supposed to be a distraction from getting creamed. Instead of thinking about a humilliating loss, here, think about starting a nuclear war in which our country ceases to exist at all. Feel better now?
Russian TV has become the place for the Moscow elites to explore their fantasies... Watching a clip of Margarita Simonyan's quite animated husband (left) suggesting that a few nuclear missiles lobbed at Jersey will put manners on the UK...
Honestly, do Russians watching this at home think, "Yeah, now you're talkin', wipe that island off the map, that will teach 'em!"
Why are you sounding the alarm.....neither you nor any of the others on this thread are in Ukraine right now so are not in any danger.....a bit overly dramatic to be honest
This time Russia pissed off everyone else, so the lend-lease is not helping as much.. because it's coming from the likes of Belarus, Iran and North Korea.
Interesting to see in this evenings address to the nation Zelenskyi responded to the calls for negotiations with russia with a simple list of conditions that should be met and they sound fair to me:
lol minimizing the losses as they have no men to loose.
On paper but when reaching production is toilet roll holders and some egg cartons due to errrr not corruption.
The 155th are reading the social media in Russia and are concerned that they're losing the social media war. So the three remaining of the 155th have called for Russians watching their broadcast to not believe the reports in Russian social media and to keep fighting the online war and don't be demoralised at home.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy: In general,
along the front, our forces are in a state of active defense - in some parts of the east and south we are gradually pushing back the enemy.
Donetsk region remains the epicenter of the occupiers' greatest madness – they die by hundreds every day. The land in front of the Ukrainian positions is literally littered with the bodies of the occupiers...
Orcs miss WW2 so much, they decided to re-enact the same tactics and rates of attrition.
I think there are masochists on this thread supporting Russia, they just love being humiliated. Best explanation I’ve come up with so far.
I believe that was Timmy. However his own point defeated his argument. He claimed there is no way it was possible and yet Russia with its enormous imaginary army needed to conscript 300k 2 months ago. Why the need to conscript if they had not lost 60k plus injured?
Some have claimed here that Russia has an enormous advantage in Artillery, I think we are seeing the results recently of large volume WW2 type artillery doing nothing but ploughing empty fields versus precision American, French and German artillery landing shells 5 to 10 meters from target at ranges of 25 kilometers and more.
Who was saying the idea of russia losing 60k was a fairy tale ,but Ukraine had to be suffering higher losses
If Russia had this missile theyd be calling it the "Ultimate Deadly Hypersonic Super Missile"
It seems there are 3 separate groups reported as all but completely wiped out in the last 4 to 5 days. A group from the 155th naval guards 300 lost near Pavilka, a battalion of conscripts near Makiilavka 530 lost, and a wagner group.
But Francie says its bollox so it can't be true.
Ukraine's president Zelensky has called Israeli elected PM Netanyahu to congratulated him for his victory -during Iron Dome discussion
Holding out for a used javelin,
Already have an AT4
The most shocking thing is that it's still just isolated voices criticising the approach in Russia. The vast majority still don't seem to care if hundreds of young Russian men are dying in a pointless war every week, as long as they aren't from the glamorous cities
Russian morale is very low and Ukrainians morale is very high, high as a kite in fact
More on the Mobiks getting absolutely destroyed.
Untrained conscripts vs battle hardened and determined UAF. Was only going to end one way.
Look up the 'winter war' Finland v the USSR. A lot of what is going on is similar to that conflict.
They are the lucky ones.
Ukrainian military captured 21 mobilised men from Moscow region on Svatove direction
Or his Boss, Patriarch Kirill, who when blessing soldiers being dispatched to Ukraine, told them that they were doing God's work, and if they died, would go straight to heaven. Strange Priest who advocates one human killing another, as Kirrill is doing, and claiming it is Gods will. But at least Mikhail Vasiliev, the priest who advised Women to have more children to replace the ones killed, went with them to the front and died with them. Pity Kirill would not follow his example.

It's now apparent the Battle of Pavlivka was devastating for the Russians, who sustained irrecoverable losses in personnel and equipment.
This clip shows a Ukrainian 152mm shell striking a bunched up group from the 155th Marine Infantry Brigade (RU).
Regarding the the above and other similar posts how does the OP get the specific information on the type of soldiers killed and their battalions etc i.e. in this instance the ‘155th Marine Infantry Brigade’….?
Or alternatively, it's 1 hour in HIMARS terms.
Just so long as they don't shoot up any innocent fishing fleets in the area. The Russian navy has a bit of a history with that when it comes to transferring fleets to the far east.
I do wonder though. When the whole gong show that would ultimately lead to the battle of Tsushima played out in 1905, the different Russian fleets (Baltic, Black Sea, Pacific) had wildly different levels of skill, with most of the best ships and commanders assigned to the Pacific Squadron. The Baltic and Black Sea fleets were considered of secondary importance, which is why the 2nd Pacific Squadron was such a ramshackle collection of ships, with equally ramshackle crews. And that's without mentioning Kamchatka. I'd be really curious if similar discrepancies between the different fleets exist in the present day and if the oceangoing fleets (Northern Fleet, Pacific Fleet) are better trained and supplied than the "littoral" fleets in the Baltic, Black Sea and Caspian Sea.
