“Russia invaded the sovereign nation of Ukraine…no threat whatsoever to Russia…this is and remains a Russian frontal assault on the rules based international order that has been in place for 80 years" - General Milley today #RussiaUkraineWar
"their [Russia’s] military stocks rapidly depleting, their soldier are demoralized, untrained, unmotivated conscripts and convicts and their leadership is failing them..."
"Yet free people will not return to the shackles of tryanny. Ukrainians remains defiant with steel in their spine and courage in their veins & they have the broad support of the United States and the international community...Ukraine remains strong. They are capable and trianed"
We all see many statements about war losses that are difficult to put together.
How can Ukraine lose 5 times fewer killed and at the same time the total number of losses is called 200K/120K in Ru/Ua?
I will try to explain it briefly:

1. Different ratio of killed/wounded
In the Russian army, the ratio of killed/wounded troops is usually called 1/3. In the Ukrainian army - 1/7-1/8, and sometimes even as much as 1/10 or more.
There is a great point @shashj about this:

2. Different types of troops
When they talk about the losses of the Russian army, they usually mean the regular troops of Ru. But in addition, more than 50K "LDNR", 50K "Wagner", and several thousand volunteer battalions such as "Bars", "Rusich" and others.

What is highly enriched Uranium?
Basically, Uranium comes in many atomic configuration. U-238 is the most common & U-235 is the one we get the energy from.
Depending on the concentration of U-235 we call it: natural, low-enriched (for energy) or high-enriched (for weapons).

Terrorist russia today spent about $500 million on another massive missile attack on peaceful Ukrainian cities. Why are they doing this? Kill civilians. Destroy civilian infrastructure. And once again prove to the world that they are fascists and terrorists. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Terrorists of the Russian Federation have launched 81 launches of various-based missiles:
- 28 X-101 / X-555;
- 20 Caliber;

Druck aufbauen (auch auf das "zivilisierte" US-Amerika). Die Alternative scheint ja nur ein massiver Einsatz von schwersten Waffen und NATO-Schlag zu sein, weil die UKR es sonst nicht schafft. Wo soll das hinführen? Sagen Sie mir nicht, dass ist die Meinung dieser links-grünen 👇

It isn't an "if".
It is a "when", and the answer is late spring, before the summer hits, and it will be appalling if early indicators are to be believed.

Yury Butusov asks uncomfortable questions. About the capture of the Gostomel airport. About the execution of a unit of the 101st brigade on Beresteyskaya. About unexploded Chongar. About the "surprise attack" that everyone knew about.

There are a lot of questions. Why didn’t they arm the territorial defense, why didn’t they mobilize, why didn’t they start the evacuation, why did the enemy pass the Chornobyl zone without meeting resistance? ..
Zelensky's fans accuse Butusov of gunpowdering, just as Poroshenko's supporters used to accuse him of slander. The truth does not please any of the leaders. The truth is not needed by subjects. But we remember everything.
According to the information, damages of A-50U DRLV aircraft of the russian Air Force, as a result of morning explosions at the "Machulyshchi" airfield in belarus, could have been caused by dropping an unidentified object from the air.

russian Il-76 A-50U DRLV aircraft received critical damage [caused by explosions at the military airfield Machulyshchi,belarus] to the front and central parts, avionics/radar equipment & radar antenna.
Such damage means that the plane can no longer take off.

Why is the damage to A50U anti-aircraft missile defense system in Machulyshchy,belarus important for Ukraine?
This aircraft has a long range & can detect air defense positions from a height,which makes it a very effective means of gathering information about military objects.

As always an amazing interview with the Chief of GUR, Kyrylo Budanov, from 22.02.2023. He talks about Russian mobilization, Russia's weapon production capabilities, his opinion on Bakhmut, not accidental arsons in Russia, and the near future of the war.

Indeed the battle for #Vuhledar was recognized by both sides as critically important. As we discussed previously, #Russia lost the opportunity of overwhelming the town quickly. #Ukrainian command did not err in passivity but very quickly & significantly reinforced the front, both
in the high-rise town itself and its surroundings, particularly the coal mine with the dominating high ground. The battle has raged fiercely since the original post, with the UA forces mining the approaches to the town. The eastern dachas have traded hands a few times while RU
forces have launched at least two major pushes to try again. As of ten days ago, we can see the intensity of the shelling & fighting on the snowy steppe battlefield. Interestingly, we can see that shelling is highly concentrated along the tree lines bordering the agricultural
