It's always hard to say how many Russians are being killed. The Kremlin will downplay the losses, the Ukrainians will exaggerate them.

 

The Ukrainians are fighting a modern war, combined arms and the accent on mobility. The Russians are still fighting with poorly-motivated conscripts and a top-heavy command structure, World War I and II style. Human wave stuff.

 

The battle of Stalingrad resulted in 1.1 million Russian casualties, over a period of 6 months and 2 weeks. Given Russia's fighting methods do not seem to have changed appreciably, IMO a figure of 16 K is quite credible.

Did you check lately the map and check the area Russia gained and Ukraine lost? Even since Ukraine got support by British and other tactic specialists they did not make successful attacks. It's a matter of time that Ukraine have to surrender and protect women and children from death.

I don't think you understand surrendering to Putin will result in the genocide of Ukrainians. Putin wants the assets of Ukraine, human beings are just an inconvenience. The model is the same as Stalin used, mass deportations, migrating Russians into the conquered areas, kidnapping children to be re-educated.

 

The false concern you show for women and children is typical of a Kremlin apologist.

Putin was ready for talks back in 2022, April, the US and UK stopped it, do you deny thais happened?

Surrender by Ukraine means Russia annexes Ukraine.

 

I guess Britain could have surrendered to the Nazis during the Blitz. That would have ended that war.

Putin had certain preconditions which the Ukrainians would not accept.

 

If your neighbor captured your living room, and their precondition for talks meant they kept your living room, would you accept?

what assets are they? the 12 trillion in minerals by any chance? the same 12 trillion the US doesn't want Putin to get?

I suggest you check again. Ukraine has captured a lot of territory in Russia.

 

More to the point, Russia loses 1,000 soldiers a day when they take land.

 

Russian soldiers in Kursk run away when Ukraine attacks. Or they surrender. 

 

Who do you say is winning?

You make it sound like Ukraine protecting their national assets from an invasion is a bad thing.

 

You Russian apologists have warped logic.

i didn't say anything of the sort, so stop with the lies, i brought up the assets that are rarely mentioned. on the news... you know, like the gas pipeline dispute through Syria...they certainly put a different perspective on the reason for US involvement.... not as if its the first time aye!

I think these numbers are about as credible as when the BBC and British Ministry of Defence guaranteed that there were WMD in Iraq. Unfortunately the Ukrainians are severely outgunned. If there were 16k Russian soldiers killed since April then Ukrainian soldiers killed are probably in the six figures since that time. 

Wow, someone has drunk the Kremlin Koolaid, or Kvas if you prefer.

The US is helping Ukraine defend it's people against a Russian assault. The Ukrainians don't worry about the motivation of their allies.

 

A German propagandist would have made a similar comment about US support of Britain during the Blitz.

You have consumed the Kremlin Kool-Ade that their invasion of Ukraine is justified. So, your posts are based on a lie.

It would be more interesting how many Ukrainian soldiers died so far. And how many are able to fight. To send more weapons makes only sense as long there are soldiers left to use them. 

I think it's time for cease fire and peace talks.

And stay away from making Ukraine a NATO member!!!

You can't have good faith peace talks with Putin.

For Putin, this is a war of choice.

For Ukraine, it's a matter of survival as a sovereign nation. 

Sure Putin might agree to a freeze in front lines but it will only be temporary until the Russian army regroups.

Well, Ukraine captured some flat, plain land .....and lost a lot in the North. In addition... don't forget Crimea .

I did not see any notes by Russia confirming having lost 1000 soldiers in one day.

And what happens around - not in - Kursk we should believe by Ukrainians.

Nevertheless it's a joke to believe that Ukraine could defeat Russia. They will run out of soldiers: end of war in a natural way.

I can understand why all the Russians are here.  There is no way I would let my son die for that More Run Putin.  I would go in debt to ensure my son or sons were able to get away from the nightmare that is Russia today.

Estimates of Russians (many highly skilled working age ones) who have fled Russia thanks to Putin are between one and three miliion. Estimates of westerners moving to Russia to seek what they perceive as a white Christian nationalist extremely anti LGBT ideology society esimated at about 5,000.

so by scuppering the peace talks in 22, which could have ended the hostilities, the US have now given billions in Aid, which the Ukraine will have to repay...so where do you think that money will come from ?  part of that 12 trillion in minerals by any chance?

The talks in 2022 are irrelevant, as Russia demanded unacceptable preconditions.

No one sane would negotiate if the preconditions were unacceptable.

 

Maybe you would. Tell you what, we can negotiate about this, but only if you first condemn Putin's bloody invasion of Ukraine.

You think the Kremlin is going to admit it has lost 1000 troops in one day? Or the true death toll to the Russian people?

 

The Soviet Union fell on the basis of losing 15,000 KIA in Afghanistan over a time frame of 9 years. That's dwarfed by the death toll in Ukraine, in two years.

 

It's only Putin's iron grip on the media that has prevented a revolution already.

 

Each Ukrainian has to kill 6 Russian soldiers for parity. Given the poor training the Russians have, and the bone-headed military doctrine, not impossible.
