    Was the seizure of Avdiivka, Bakhmut, Mariupol all lies?

    Is it a lie that the Ukrainian counteroffensive only took 2 minor villages which have since both been lost? That was an entire year+ worth of western prep and build up.

              The total number of Ukrainian and Russian troops killed or wounded since the war in Ukraine began 18 months ago is nearing 500,000, U.S. officials said, a staggering toll as Russia assaults its next-door neighbor and tries to seize more territory.

              wow

              Russia’s military casualties, the officials said, are approaching 300,000. The number includes as many as 120,000 deaths and 170,000 to 180,000 injured troops. The Russian numbers dwarf the Ukrainian figures, which the officials put at close to 70,000 killed and 100,000 to 120,000 wounded.

                Yeah the US government is not an accurate source of info since we control Ukraine. Lol @ Russia’s casualties dwarfing Ukraine’s. Batshit insane. They should have made up plausible figures.

        Russia has full air superiority. What the fuck did you think would happen? Ukraine’s most hardcore Nazi’s have died already. The people that are left don’t want to fight. They’re kidnapping them, holding them for a few days and directly throwing them into ditches to die. It’s a depopulation strategy.

        EU and the US are incredibly weak. The Houthis and North Korea literally have better missile technology than the US and EU combined.
