Google Ukraines defense minister explaining their losses per day. As he said, 100-200 per day.

We'll take the middle, 150. The war has been going for 244 days.

150 * 244 = 36,600

Ukraine has 1M troops, so 36.6K represents a loss of 3.6% of their troops.

Russia has lost far more than that.

Russia has largely given up attacking Ukraine and has been forced on to the defensive after Putin's military got mauled by Kyiv's armies.

Severely undermanned and poorly trained Russian units have stopped advancing across most of the front line in the last six weeks, British intelligence said today.

In Kherson, companies of soldiers which should consist of 100 men were fighting with just six to eight troops each, Ministry of Defence analysts added.

While Putin is attempting to bolster these units with conscripted troops, Russia is unlikely to be able to resume its offensive in the near future.

Nope. Only in this thread of LARP. Russia only committed 150k. If they would have lost what you claim the war would be over.

American intelligence figures at the start of the full-scale invasion were Russian troops of 175k+ in addition to about 35k DPR/LPR troops and they've been feeding more in since then including beating the bushes for contract servicemen and prison volunteers. This is all not counting the "partial mobilization", many of which are already in country.

How many on either side that has been killed and wounded is an unknown number.

From the Wikipedia article


According to BBC News Russian and the Mediazona news website, out of 7,505 Russian soldiers whose deaths they had documented by 13 October 2022, 17 percent (1,278) were officers, while 21 percent (1,558) were Motorized Rifle Troops and 16 percent (1,221) were members of the Russian Airborne Forces (VDV).[89] Meanwhile, at the height of the fighting in May and June 2022, according to Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy[93] and presidential advisor Mykhailo Podolyak, between 100 and 200 Ukrainian soldiers were being killed in combat daily,[94] while presidential adviser Oleksiy Arestovych stated 150 soldiers were being killed and 800 wounded daily.[95] Mid-June, Davyd Arakhamia, Ukraine's chief negotiator with Russia, told Axios that between 200 and 500 Ukrainian soldiers were killed every day.[96] By late July, Ukrainian daily losses fell to around 30 killed and about 250 wounded.[93]

With respect to Russian military losses, Ukrainian estimates tended to be high, while Russian estimates of their own losses tended to be low. Combat deaths can be inferred from a variety of sources, including satellite imagery and video image of military actions.[97] According to a researcher at the Department of Peace and Conflict Research at Uppsala University in Sweden, regarding Russian military losses, Ukraine's government was engaged in a misinformation campaign aimed to boost morale and Western media was generally happy to accept its claims, while Russia was "probably" downplaying its own casualties. Ukraine also tended to be quieter about its own military fatalities.[98] According to BBC News, Ukrainian claims of Russian fatalities were including the injured as well.[85][86] Analysts warned about accepting the Ukrainian claims as fact, as Western countries were emphasizing the Russian military's toll, while Russian news outlets have largely stopped reporting on the Russian death toll.[99] In early June 2022, the Svetlogorsk City Court in the Kaliningrad region ruled that a list of Russian soldiers killed in Ukraine, published by privately owned news websites, constituted "classified information" and its publication could be considered a criminal offense.[100][101]

The number of civilian and military deaths is impossible to determine with precision given the fog of war.[102][97] The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) considers the number of civilian casualties to be considerably higher than the one the United Nations are able to certify.[103]

On 12 October 2022, the independent Russian media project iStories reported that more than 90,000 Russian soldiers had been killed, seriously wounded or gone missing in Ukraine, citing sources close to the Kremlin.[104][105]

Maybe Russia will be forced to use conscription but probably not, right?

So Russia is lying when they say they already had 300k troops in Ukraine and are doubling that?

You stated Russia has lost fewer men than Ukraine has. I asked you for your source.
If you don’t have a source say so; otherwise, you will keep embarrassing yourself.

And for the record I don’t know the answer.

Hold your horses biotch. There is a possible breakthrough underway In the east. The south is a siege so what the f**k do you expect? It has been literally an uphill battle for Ukraine in the east if you look at actual terrain. A series of small valleys and hills in a north/south direction. Making a breakthrough shows how weak Russia actually is

---

Maybe not. I can’t get any confirmation about the breakthrough from twitter or my sauce(s) in Ukraine. In the past, whenever they didn’t respond something big was usually happening and they were busy, but with Ukraine going silent on its movements IDK anymore.

He has a lot of other long-form videos about specific topics in the Ukraine war.

Perun is always a good watch. His analysis from the beginning has been pretty accurate and held up well. The funny thing is that his videos before Ukraine were about video games and had a few thousand views. Now his Ukraine videos reach millions because they are pretty insightful. He seems to be connected to the Australian military in some sort of supply capacity. I thought the one you linked on corruption was particularly good.
