American officials estimate that nearly 200,000 Russian troops have been killed or wounded in Moscow’s nearly yearlong conflict with Ukraine, The New York Times reported.
The rising number of casualties is driven in part by heavy fighting in Bakhmut and Soledar in eastern Ukraine, where Russia is increasingly sending poorly trained recruits and convicts to the front lines in an effort to deplete Ukrainian artillery, according to the Times.
However, officials have warned that the casualty numbers — which are based on satellite imagery, intercepted communications, social media, on-the-ground reporting and official government numbers — are difficult to estimate and imprecise.

Right so you crying like a little b!tch because you are upset the world has been fighting evil since the dawn of mankind?
Russia is a terrorist state which literally invaded it's neighbor who has an army and budget a fraction of that of Russia, yet Russia still lost like a little b!tch like all bullies lose when you start to punch back and now to avoid embarrassment Russia has no choice but to continue with a useless war for the next 10 years which Russia will then completely collapse as a society under sanctions.
Putin invaded because East Ukraine has huge reserves of Oil and Gas and Lithium and like all thieves nothing is ever enough for them. He just uses the word "nazi" to fool gullible retards like yourself.
Zelensky isn't a nazi he is Jewish and his family was mostly wiped out in the Holocaust.
But then you are a Holocaust denier so not that it matters.
Russia is currently burning through soviet era equipment and ammo most of which is now almost completely empty since most of their targets have been maternity hospitals and kids playgrounds etc and they can't even find spare parts for their oil and gas industry or their airplanes now, they have to cannibalize older units just to get things running, none of which is sustainable.
Putin the 4D chess player is the real MVP of NATO he is the gift that keeps on giving thanks to him Russia will soon turn into somalia not that they were ever that far away to begin with and we get to test all our western weapons to see how effective they are without directly engaging in a war.

There are Telegram channels like Rusnya 200, Bochkala War, Supernova+ and a few others that all end in 200 where you regularly see videos and photos of Russian offensives that end with up to 30 dead (200 is official Russia code for cargo that is soldier corpses). This has been going on for months on end. 100k KIA was surpassed long time for sure.
Ukrainian officials have let slip sometimes and twice admitted that Ukraine were losing 100+ soldiers daily - Bakhmut/Soledar currently and in June last year when the Battle of Severodonetsk was ongoing (then a senior official said 200 deaths per day whilst the Minister of Defence said 100 per day)
But yes, lots of wasted deaths in two countries in Europe with the 2nd and 19th lowest Total Fertility rates, both of which are well below the required just to keep the population constant. All because of the madness of an unstable dictator.
And they say injun like to fight over land?adnj wrote:Dizzy28 wrote:Dohplaydat wrote:adnj wrote:

At the start of WWII, Ukraine was about the same size as it was last year. Ukraine had 1.6 million soldiers killed in action (not wounded, not missing) during WWII. I doubt that there will be a Ukrainian surrender in the near future.

Makes sense...adnj wrote:Russia Likely Lost Half Its Heavy Tanks In Ukraine: US
Agence France Presse | February 10, 2023
Half of Russia's main battle tanks have likely been destroyed or captured by Ukraine, a senior US defense official said Friday.
Russia "has probably lost half of its main battle tank stock in combat and through Ukrainian capture," Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs Celeste Wallander said during a Center for a New American Security virtual event.
The estimate by Wallander -- who did not provide an exact figure for the number of tanks lost since Russia invaded in February 2022 -- comes as Ukraine is set to receive an influx of heavy Western tanks from its supporters.
Britain has said its Challenger 2 tanks will be deployed in Ukraine in March, while Germany and its allies aim to get a battalion of Leopard 2 tanks to Kyiv by April.
The United States has also promised a battalion -- or 31 -- of its M1 Abrams tanks, but they are expected to take significantly longer to arrive.

Feb 21 (Reuters) - President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday that Russia was suspending participation in the New START nuclear arms reduction treaty with the United States, after accusing the West of being directly involved in attempts to strike its strategic air bases.
"I am forced to announce today that Russia is suspending its participation in the strategic offensive arms treaty," he said.
WHAT IS THE NEW START TREATY?
Signed by then-U.S. President Barack Obama and his Russian counterpart Dmitry Medvedev in 2010, the New START treaty caps the number of strategic nuclear warheads that the United States and Russia can deploy.
It came into force in 2011 and was extended in 2021 for five more years after U.S. President Joe Biden took office, and allows both U.S. and Russian inspectors to ensure that both sides are complying with the treaty.
Under the agreement, Moscow and Washington are committed to deploying no more than 1,550 strategic nuclear warheads and a maximum of 700 long-range missiles and bombers.
Each side can conduct up to 18 inspections of strategic nuclear weapons sites every year to ensure the other has not breached the treaty's limits.

Do u really want to find out?Dizzy28 wrote:WRT START given the Russian penchant for corruption and ineptitude I'm sure half thier nuclear arsenal is unusable.
If they want to spend tens of billions developing new nuclear weapons while they are under sanctions them go ahead. It only weakens them further.
The smallest European nuclear power, UK will still be capable of destroying the Russian Federation by themselves no matter what Russia builds up.
