We all know it. Criminal doesn't even do justice to it. A brutal monster who ought to be hanged is more like it.
Care to point me in the right direction? Because everything im reading contradicts that 600k+ claim.
This article says 300k + an estimated 120k dead/wounded, so 420k, long way off 600.
I don't see anything supporting that claim of 600k
Will the real double please stand up
Every single time there is public footage of Putin there are some here who claim it's a double. Tend to be the same people who a year ago were convinced he had only a couple of months to live. I guess wishful thinking never ceases.
This really does appear to be him
Maybe he is dead and the fake Putin has taken over? I think it is a fake the camera keeps jumping about and you can't get a good look at him at all.
Yes and how many mobilizations before that ,including the invading force last year?
It says 300k deployed in Ukraine according to intelligence.
Many of the 300k mobilisation from that wave are still in Belarus to deter Ukrainians so that they have to deploy some troops to their northern border.
No source corroborates the story that there are or were 600k Russian soldiers in Ukraine.
I thought it was easy to find this information both on thread from you and on google? Doesn't seem like it
Only 120k dead and wounded.....
Yeah maybe that's why you can't get it to add up. You're using a Ukrainian source for the 300k, why not use a Ukrainian source for the dead and wounded figure? Come to think of it, where the hell are ya getting the 120k figure from?
Russian google hey 🤣
What happened in september last year i wonder,did Russia have another mobilization?
And how many troops did they use to invade Ukraine with in February?
Humm thats to complicated for ye is it
Wait so according to reports Russia has deployed 97% of it's army to Ukraine but according to one person it equates to 300,000 men .....
Someone's calculator must be running with old washing machine parts
Wait i thought they had plans for 2 million lol,but there is hope,next batch of fresh recruits for their annual conscription is in April
Why do you think Russia is downing drones from big bad america,they need an excuse to show the Russian people to mobilize more troops.
Impressive display by the US & South Korea today. Hopefully sends a message to Putin’s mate in Pyongyang, Mr Stay Puft, to continue to sit on his hands.
According to what reports 97% of Russian army is in Ukraine?
Last week
Intelligence reports of course
I would estimate that Moscovy would need to recruit 5 conscripts for every one Ukr conscript recruited to have the same war outcome and here is why :-
(1) more Moscovies required because of the greater logistics required to move equipment , food and soldiers to the front because of distance , security, etc.
(2) Local knowledge is to the advantage of Ukr
(3) a significant % of the recruited Russians abscond , feign injury , etc, etc.
(4) the Ukr soldiers are more motivated
(5) Ukr manovuring / strategic approach seems to be smarter
(6) Moscovy losses - KIA /WIA - are much higher
Yeah? From a Japan Times article dated today…?
Care to link one of these intelligence reports?
I have found a single line statement from Ben Wallace saying 97% are in Ukraine, which means only 3% are defending Russian borders, manning their nuclear forces, their navy, their forces in the east etc.
Also pre conflict russian military strength was estimated at over 1 million active not including reserves. So if somehow they had 97% in Ukraine thats upwards of 970k... yeah right
Apparently from the 3rd of February
Here's the Wall Street Journal quoting the UK Defence Secretary Ben Wallace, from a briefing he gave based on MoD intelligence, on Wednesday last.
The UK MoD has been widely acknowledged as having among the most complete picture of the theatre of War in Ukraine, thanks to its mix of human, signal and data intel.
Do those sources satisfy your exacting standards?
It's about time, another day another war crime ,this show have had him in the hauge 9 years ago.
I already pointed out the absurdity of the 97% figure in my OP. And as for the UK intelligence's accuracy lest we forget:
https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2022/mar/22/russian-invaders-have-three-days-of-supplies-left-says-ukraine-military
Year old and 6 months old article which doesn't support you
So Russia haven't been getting weapons from North Korea or Iran and also asking China?
It's pretty obvious Russia mass missile launches into Ukraine are getting more and more spaced apart. They are struggling to produce enough of them.
Russia have got weapons from North Korea and China? According to whom? Gatling?
It's always me🤣🤣🤣🤣
What does this tell you?
spokesperson for the Ukrainian Joint Press Center of the Tavriisk Defense Forces, Colonel Oleksiy Dmytrashkivskyi, stated on March 15 that Russian offensive actions have decreased significantly over the last week and noted that daily Russian ground attacks have decreased from 90 to 100 attacks per day to 20 to 29 per day. Dmytrashkivskyi reported that Russian forces have somewhat lost offensive potential due to significant manpower and equipment losses.Dmytrashkivskyi’s statements are consistent with ISW’s general observation regarding the pace of Russian operations along the entire frontline in Ukraine. The Russian offensive operation in Luhansk Oblast is likely nearing culmination, if it has not already culminated, although Russia has committed most elements of at least three divisions to the Svatove-Kreminna line.
Russian forces have made only minimal tactical gains along the entire Luhansk Oblast frontline over the last week, and Ukrainian forces have likely recently managed to conduct counterattacks and regain territory in Luhansk Oblast.ISW has been unable to confirm the commitment of the 2nd Motor Rifle Division (1st Guards Tank Army, Western Military District) to the offensive in Luhansk Oblast since certain unspecified elements reportedly deployed to Luhansk Oblast in January--the only large formation assessed to be operational but not yet engaged.It is unclear if the 2nd Motor Rifle Division has already deployed and has not been observed or if it is waiting to deploy to either Luhansk Oblast or other areas of the front. The commitment of two or three of the 2nd Motor Rifle Division’s constituent regiments, however, is unlikely to significantly delay or reverse the culmination of the Russian offensive in Luhansk Oblast, especially considering that at least five Russian regiments have definitely been fully committed in this area, likely along with several others, but Russian forces have still been unable to make substantial gains.
Russian offensive actions are nearing culmination again say ISW.
They said that around Severdonetsk time I believe too. Will check back in Summer to see if this prediction holds up or not. If Ben Wallace is to be believed and 97% of Russian armed forces are hiding in Ukraine somewhere, then I'd say we are far away from culmination yet.
You will know soon enough when Ukraines counter offensive starts,and as you can see,its allready ongoing some places.
And like you said,severdonetsk was just before Ukraines last offensive too
