Maybe you are both wrong...who the hell really knows? Well...it's obviously not 31 million.

According to the United Nations, Ukraine has a population of 36,744,636 as of 2023.[4] In July 2023, Reuters reported that due to the refugee outpouring into Western Europe, the population of Kyiv-controlled areas may have decreased to as low as 28 million.[5] This is a steep decline from 2020, when it had a population of almost 42 million people.

Ukraine's demographics are not favorable for longterm survival but neither are Russia's. Both will all but cease to exist in several decades.

UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron is in Berlin to discuss buying German Taurus missiles so that the UK can send the rest of its Storm Shadow missiles to Ukraine.

Looks like Ukraine's luck ran out on the Patriot system that they had close to the front line -- the one that shot down a number of Russian aircraft. There's video of two Patriot launchers getting destroyed.

Patriot or HIMARS? I can't find any confirmation of Patriot systems being destroyed.

31 million seemed extraordinarily high so I googled UN and refugees leaving Ukraine and listed what I found. Is it right? I don’t know, but I provided my source unlike the other guy who has repeatedly made up BS.

It’s 100% a Patriot. I’ve put my hands on enough of them that I can tell you it’s legit. I really thought Ukraine would be smarter and pull back then pull them back up but it looks like they just left one of them. I hope they know these aren’t nearly as replaceable as the HIMARS that got hit and countries with them aren’t going to want to come off of what they have already.

Still better that the launchers got hit and not the radar though. My question is why in the frick are the launchers together on the same little shite dirt road with no cover. Do better Ukraine.

So far this week Ukraine has lost 3 M1A1, 1 M2 Bradley, 1 NASAMS radar along with 1 or 2 launchers, 1 AS-90 155mm SPG from the UK, 1 Mig-29 and 2 Patriot launchers on top of the stuff I have no idea about. Not a great week.

#?????? Our sources in the General Staff reported that over the past two weeks the Ukrainian Armed Forces have lost three mobile air defense groups that were hunting for enemy aircraft. At the moment, the General Staff is trying to understand how the enemy figured out the routes and was able to accurately hit 3 out of 5 mobile air defense groups, which included 3 Patriot launchers, as well as a multifunctional radar.

I've said it before, but I think most posters in this thread simply can't grasp how much this is going to change the war over the course of the next year.


YouTube videos of massive drone swarms making amazing displays. They are not armed, but...

I'll give you credit for it...anyone who thinks 31 million out of a total population of 43 million have moved out is outright wrong.

Catherine the Great was a German, specifically born a Pomeranian. She became head of Russia after a coup against her husband, Peter III.

Thus the Bear became a pet of the Pomeranian

After the hurt the Ukrainian air defenses put on Russia, I'm sure Russia made the location of them their top priority. It appears Ukraine was slow to recognize the shift in Russian strategy and is paying for it.

They did not hit the Patriot radar or the command vehicle you Russian loving count. How does it feel that your mother Russia’s military power is fiction and being depleted to shite and back. It takes Russia 20,000 KIA to take a little town.
