Los militares ucranios en el frente de Kurájove aseguran que el número de tropas se ha reducido drásticamente, un contratiempo peor que la necesidad de más armamento
Because it’s a war of attrition and it took a long time for the AFU to reach the point of collapse. Russia didn’t do big arrow offensives because those would’ve been very costly in terms of equipment and manpower as Ukraine found out during its fabled offensive. Instead, Russia chose to use its massive artillery advantage to grind out the AFU instead, and now we’re seeing the results of that approach. Here’s an analysis from an actual expert if you’re interested
Given that Russia and Ukraine almost came to an agreement two months into the war and the west sabotaged it, I think there’s little question about that.
Well lets see, 0 deaths for the west, minor investment compared to running an actual war…
As of October 2024, the estimated number of Russian deaths and costs in Ukraine are:
Russian deaths
The U.S. estimates that Russia has suffered 115,000 deaths and 500,000 injuries in the war.
Western intelligence estimates vary, but some say the number of dead could be as high as 200,000.
Russian costs
Russia’s losses in Ukraine are greater than all of its casualties since World War II combined. The war has also set back Russia’s military modernization efforts by nearly two decades.
Ukrainian deaths
A U.S. official estimates that Ukraine has suffered more than 57,500 deaths and 250,000 injuries. However, Ukraine rarely comments on the scale of its battlefield deaths.
Armored vehicle losses
Russia has lost more than 8,000 armored vehicles, including 2,700 tanks. Ukraine has lost nearly 3,000 armored vehicles, including 740 tanks.
Recruitment
Russia has relaxed recruitment standards to allow older civilians and convicts to fight.
Estimates vary widely due to a number of factors, including Ukraine’s reluctance to disclose its losses and the fact that U.S. intelligence analysts have focused more on Russia’s casualties.
Ukraine is not in the west. So… If it’s Russia Vs. West, they’re losing really badly.
No, it was always “Ukraine is winning but might lose if we don’t help” because obviously if they just said “Ukraine is winning” then the help would be not needed.
It’s weird it’s taking so long huh
What’s weird about it?
That nobody is ending it
Russia is very much ending it, hence all the panic over Ukrainian army collapse that’s unfolding in western media right now.
Why only now, what’s the benefit of keeping it on before

We gotta wonder whose benefit it is to keep on prolonging while the official story is different
Given that Russia and Ukraine almost came to an agreement two months into the war and the west sabotaged it, I think there’s little question about that.
It’s definitely fishy with sabotaging all around from different directions with all of the negotiation attemps
LOL yeah, the current strat has definitely not been costly…
The question is whom it’s been more costly for, the west or Russia.

Pretending Ukraine was winning was necessary to send them more weapons. They would never get funding for a war of attrition which ends in their loss.
Now the obvious conclusion is unfolding and our media slowly changes tone as if they are surprised Ukraine cannot win.
Though the weapons have been sent with the premise that Ukraine has been losing
No, it was always “Ukraine is winning but might lose if we don’t help” because obviously if they just said “Ukraine is winning” then the help would be not needed.
It was “Ukraine is on the verge of losing each second but a few weapons can keep their head above water until a peace is negotiated”
