JERUSALEM (VINnews) — Ukraine announced Saturday that 46,550 Russian soldiers had died in the first six months of the war. Ukraine’s combat HQ reported on Facebook that 250 more Russian soldiers had been killed on Friday. Ukraines figures correspond with those of the British defense ministry which estimates Russian losses at 80,000 included killed, wounded and desertions. In comparison, Russia lost 15,000 soldiers during the decade-long war in Afghanistan.

The New York Times reported that 9,000 Ukrainian soldiers had been killed during this period.
Ukraine reported that Russia had also lost 1,939 tanks, 1045 artillery pieces, 836 unmanned aerial drones and 3,165 vehicles since February. The UN announced that it had verified 5,587 civilian casualties in Ukraine but said that the number was probably much higher.
Russia announced that it would not cease its military campaign in Ukraine even if Ukraine reneged on joining NATO, according to former Russian president Dmitri Medvedev. Medvedev said in a French television interview that “reneging on participation in North Atlantic treaty is vital but will not be enough to attain peace.”
Medvedev said that Moscow would be willing to negotiate with Zelensky under certain conditions “depending on how events develop.” In the past week Ukraine has counterattacked in the south, gaining back some key positions near Kharkov, as well as attacking Russian positions in Crimea.
What happened to the fighter jets that Zelensky requested months ago? If they had modern fighter jets, they would be able to stop the Russians from attacking their territory.
Evil Pootin also lost his navy flagship “Mockba”, 45 attack helicopters and 24 aircraft ar $225m each. Many Russians are leaving the country, especially Jews trying to flee his new draft of 175,000 young men. Feh.
How do Ukrainians even know how many Russians they killed. I think they just pull the number out of their you know what.
We shouldn’t mix in, just keep wishing both sides brucha vehatzlucha!!!!
Cossacks versus chechens/mongols/rusky drunks
