On the 🇷🇺🇺🇦 armies and losses. Part 1.

When people talk about the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, they paint an image of big Russia versus a small Ukraine. In reality, Ukraine is a big country with a big army.
It was ranked 3rd in Europe. At least 300,000 active troops, and then doubled in a few mobilization waves. They received billions of dollars in military aid from all western countries.

🤔Question: What price did Ukraine have to pay?

The military was reorganized. Enormous stockpiles of weapons, ammunition, modern gear and equipment, etc. They acquired intelligence, portable anti-tank and anti-aircraft systems.
Over the last 8 years, the Ukrainian forces have also built serious defense lines in Donbass.
It is clear that VSU is a formidable foe to the Russian Army.

The Russian army is definitely larger, and estimates suggest the Russian military is 1.6 - 1.9 million, including + 2 million mobilization reserves. Unfortunately, I am unable to provide accurate numbers, since some information comes from foreign sources and some from official Russian reports.
However, Russia is using only 8-10% of its active military forces in Ukraine.

The Internet is full of content mocking Russia. The media's job is to create an image in our heads and maintain it. They believe they can decide what is good and bad. So, they attack Putin's personality from every angle, spread fake news about heavy troop casualties and crimes. They talk about the demoralized army with outdated equipment and begging to go back home.

Their job is not journalism. The media is a big PR agency that sells information.

On the 🇷🇺🇺🇦 armies and losses. Part 3

Before I write about casualties, I want to say it is a really sad subject.
The division between these two nations was made up. Don't know much about Western Ukraine, but Eastern Ukraine's always been close to Russian hearts, like brothers and sisters.

Given the high number of cases of misinformation, I don't consider the Ukrainian claims.
Unlike the Ukrainian fanfare claims, Russia has actual files on pretty much everything, including casualties records. The files are available to the public.

On the 🇷🇺🇺🇦 armies and losses. Part 4

Here's what we know.
By March 25, 2022
1,351 Russian soldiers were killed and 3,825 wounded.
* There is no more data on the subject, but speculations.
Although the up-to-date figures are unknown, the Russian casualty rate has fallen since due to tactics changes and learning from the mistakes of the first week. Some estimate up to 3k KIA.

By April 18, 2022
23,367 Ukrainian soldiers were killed. The ratio of dead to wounded is usually 1:3. Therefore, we can estimate around 60,000 or more. These numbers do not include deserters, missing in action, and surrendered troops. Kiev and the collective West carefully hide or reject these numbers to keep up morale.
Since then, the fighting has only intensified, and now, with numerous encirclements in Donbass and the surrender of Azovstal, the number of casualties and POWs will only rise.

By May 19, 2022
The Ukrainian forces lost
172 aircraft, 125 helicopters, 942 unmanned aerial vehicles, 313 air defense systems, 3158 tanks and other armoured vehicles, 395 launch rocket systems, 1562 artillery and mortars, as well as 3026 tactical and utility vehicles.

No similar data on the Russian army.

#UkraineWar 🤔 Possible Outcomes.

💭I would like to add a new rubric dedicated to the mainstream propaganda and manipulations. I'll be posting headlines from major media channels, and I'd love to hear your thoughts. Let’s name it #CheesySalesman We can start from today’s The New York Times post. What facts did they flip? Where do they try to mislead? What do they use to boost their narrative? #MediaManipulation

🔻Do these words sound like the NATO rhetoric today? A. Hitler on the Russians:
“These are not human beings: they are beasts from the Asiatic steppes, and the battle I am leading against them is the battle for the dignity of the people of Europe.” (Hitler Downfall 1939-45, V. Ullrich.)

⚡️The last group of Azovstal's surrendered Ukrainian troops. The total number id 2,439.
