  1. Over 30,000 Russian dead now, and triple that wounded. Huge losses in equipment - and still the Ukrainians fight on. Unlike the people commenting here, who are safe and sound in their homes, I don't think Russian mothers would agree that all the pain and suffering that Putin has caused through this un-necessary war, is worth it.

  2. Well, the Ukrainians are still fighting, so your comment about Zelensky's soldiers not standing long is clearly bull sh*t! lol

  3. Clearly a troll with an western name and a poor grasp of the English language!

  4. And Ukraine is not losing. This fact is clearly a surprise to Putin. No leader sets out to have a long drawn out war. Yet here we are. That says a lot about Ukrainian resolve and Putin's poor planning.

  5. Yes. The Ukrainians are making good use of all of the equipment that the Russian Army has left on the battlefield.

  6. You are right. You don't understand.

  7. Lost? Nope. You may wish to pop some clothes on and leave your mother's basement at some point. See the real world for a change?

  8.  @jinoz8560  That would be telling! But history demonstrates that large scale attacking forces nearly always suffer higher casualties than the defenders. That's why the planning yardstick is always a 3 to 1 advantage if an attacking force is trying to defeat an adversary in prepared positions. Other than localised assaults, the Russians have seriously underestimated the capabilities and resolve of the UAF. In addition, the Russians have consistently demonstrated poor tactical skills (probably because of their use of conscripts and over-confidence), and they are clearly getting hammered for it. There is simply too much footage originating from the battlefield to argue that point.

  9.  @hostiles1  We can throw figures around all day, but the salient point is that the Russians are still having to fight, and they clearly didn't think they would be in this position, so long after the beginning of their invasion. Their problems with logistics demonstrated that right from the start. Putin was over-confident, and didn't plan for a long war. Every day that goes past sees more Russian dead and more Russian equipment destroyed. You say Mariopol and I would say Kiev. Both sides are continually re-drawing the map. Your point is meaningless.

  10.  @hostiles1  I haven't said the Ukrainians are not hurting. I've said the Russians are, and you have provided no evidence to contradict this statement. The mighty Russian military can't even beat a smaller weaker neighbour. That fact shows that they are not as great as they thought they were, and Putin's plans were cra*p.

  11.  @hostiles1  When the invasion first started, everyone thought Russia would won easily and quickly. Guess what? They didn't! They are still not beating a weaker military, even though they have the 2nd largest military in the world. That shows that they are clearly not as good as every one thought they were. It is a 'special' military operation, because the Russians are so crap at being an effective military force.

  12.  @oyuk4618  Today's wars may see the use of modern technology, but it all still comes to high explosive and flying metal. You may also wish to apply your argument to this war, rather than waving around lofty generalities. What about Stalingrad, Kursk, Kiev, Minsk, Smolensk, Leningrad, Verdun, Somme, or even Passchendaele?

  13. What a crock. The Ukrainian regular army was considerably smaller than 200,000 when Putin invaded. Are you getting your facts from Russian cereal packets?
