A russian Telegram channel affiliated with Wagner mercenary group reported Prigozhin's death.
"The head of the Wagner Group, a Hero of russia, a true patriot of his Motherland – Yevgeny Viktorovich Prigozhin died as a result of the actions of traitors to russia," a post in the Grey Zone channel said.
"But even in Hell, he will be the best!"
Yeah, the "best"
At the end of the battle of Bahkmut, Prigozhin let slip the following numbers. Total number of Wagner fighters: 78,000, of which 49,000 were convicts. Casualty figures, just for Wagner, per Prigozhin were 22,000 KIA and 40,000 WIA.
62,000 casualties/78,000 force = 79.5% casualty rate.
The prewar population of Bakhmut was 70,794
A Phyrric victory, if there ever was one.

@kartikeyatiwari2502 Let us examine russia's glorious battlefield accomplishments.
The glorious russian retreat from Kyiv. Such goodwill from russians, actually driven out.
The glorious russian retreat from Snake Island. Such goodwill from russians, actually driven out.
The glorious Moskva cruiser, bravely defending marine life from Ukrainian missiles. Stopping the missiles from landing in the water. Admirable concern for marine life.
The glorious russian retreat from Kharkiv. Such goodwill from russians, actually driven out.
The glorious russian retreat from Lyman. Such goodwill from russians, driven out.
The glorious russian retreat from Kherson. Such goodwill from russia, driven out.
The humiliating russian advance towards Bakmut. A few 100 meters in 4 months. The capture of the tiny town of Soledar, prewar population 10,490. At the cost of 20,000 Wagner dead
At this rate, it will be centuries before russian troops ever see Kyiv.

@Cad6638 Suppose the Ukrainian estimate is wrong by a factor of 2. Suppose instead of 110,000 cargo 200, it is really only 55,000. That would be in less than 11 months.
russia also invaded Afghanistan, December 1979 and humiliatingly withdrew 10 years later in 1989.
About 15,000 Soviet soldiers were KIA, and about 35,000 were wounded in the invasion. Notice the 3:1 ratio is still not held. 15,000 KIA over 10 years is 1500 per year or about 125/month.
russia's burn rate in Ukraine, even with the factor of 2, is 5000/month. If we accept Ukraine's estimate, it is 110,000 / 11 months = 10,000/month.
Time for another forced conscription. Putin does not care how many russians die, what matters is that he stays in power. For now.
Glory to Ukraine!

@Roger_Gadd Ukraine will force russia out just like the Mujahideen forced them out of Afghanistan. You see, Ukraine doesn't have to win in the traditional sense, they just have to keep fighting until russia decides enough is enough.
In order for russia to win the war, russia needs roughly a 3:1 advantage in troop numbers. The Ukrainian Army is estimated to be ~700K, therefore, russia needs to attack with 2.1 million troops. russia has nowhere near those number of troopers, so russia can never conquer Ukraine.
Should russia miraculously conquer Ukraine, the occupation begins. Occupation is the hard part, conquering is the easy part. Conquering is the part russia seems incapable of achieving but that's the easy part. Occupation. For a docile population, such as russian sheep, military science indicates 20 troops per 1000 civilian population. With the population of Ukraine at 44 million, russia needs to occupy with 880,000 troopers. russia doesn't have those numbers. Not even close.
For a restive population, with partisan activity, such as the people of Ukraine, the military science of occupation dictates 75 troopers per 1000 of population in occupation. For a Ukrainian population of 44 million, the reality is that russia would need to field 3,300,000 troops to occupy Ukraine. For 20 years. russia has nowhere close to those numbers.
russia cannot conquer Ukraine due to insufficient numbers and russia cannot occupy Ukraine due to insufficient numbers, consequently the war will grind on and on for russia. With the concomitant casualties inherent for the attacker.
russia has lost. The fighting may not be over, but russia has lost. Never had the numbers. Never will.

Further, it must be generational, so 3.3M troops for a generation or 20 years. russia simply doesn't have the stamina

@Cad6638 no sir, we are not. The tally is not "casualties" in the Western sense of KIA and WIA summed. The tally published is for KIA only and specifically does not include WIA.
The tally includes troops from the LPR, DPR, Chechens, Wagner, etc. The Ukrainians aren't sorting them by category of who is fighting for the russians. If the trooper is fighting for russia, that counts.
I will suggest that the ratio of 3:1 of WIA to KIA recognizes proper medevac. The russians do not offer Western style medevac. This drives the WIA numbers down and frankly, the KIA numbers up. A wounded trooper who does not receive treatment dies.
Further, the figure of 900K quoted above is for all units and not the number of regular russian army, which is far smaller. Additionally, russia cannot strip every soldier from every location other than Ukraine, just to send them to die in Ukraine. russia has commitments in Syria, for example, and also must maintain forces in the far east.
Western estimates, supported by satellite surveillance, showed that russia invaded with 190,000 troops, with a large portion of that being Rosgvardia packing parade uniforms.

@johnallen6945 you are quite welcome John.
There are further points of interest.
Let us start with force concentration. The analysis you provided above suggests that the forces are uniformly distributed. In general, the analysis is true, a 3:1 advantage is required. In specific, it is where the force is applied that is of interest. Focusing 10,000 troops against one kilometee, against 10,000 spread out over 100 kilometers is going to be well in excess of 3:1
Yet we can use the ratio to suggest russia never had the numbers to invade. Russia invaded with 190,000. If we add in Wagner, LPR, DPR, Chechens and Wagner, we get north of 300K, but certainly less than 400K. They faced a Ukrainian Army estimated to be, at the time 200K. This is less than the 3:1 ratio.
Winning the fight is one thing. Occupying the ground is another. You have to hold the ground and suppress resistance. Nominally, that is 20 troopers per 1000 population. This means russia needed 880,000 troops to occupy Ukraine. They never gad that number. Further, that is for a passive population. A restive population, which engages in partisan activities (ahem, Ukrainians are actively engaging in this now, in occupied territories) requires ~75 per 1000. This implies a russian force of 3,300,000.
Never had the numbers

@bigboy9693 You know how to win wars Dmitry? Logistics and raw economic power, industrial output wins wars, not sending cruise missiles into apartment buildings.
The West has sent a bunch of HIMARS launchers and innumerable GMLRS munitions to fire from them.
How many HIMARS launchers will Ukraine require to win? 32, but that's not how many Ukraine will use. They will use more. Lots more. Russia hasn't been able to succesfully target one launcher, but the West will continue to supply new launchers. Good luck with that Dmitry.
It is not the quantity of launchers that is important, it is the quantity of missiles. The next NDAA 2023 includes 106,000 GMLRS missiles in the authorization. Open wide! Learn how to swallow russia.
GLSDB are now authorized, as well as Western tanks. Are you feeling lucky russia?
How long until jets? ATACMS? Kerch Strait bridge go boom.
How long will Victory take? Western resolve, Ukrainian resolve is for the long haul. Who cares how long it takes. 1 year, 5 years, 20 years? It does not matter. russia will be driven out of Ukraine. 115,00 russian dead so far. That is in 11 months, roughly 11.5K/month. At this rate, russia will incur 690,000 cargo 200 in 5 years. Makes me smile! 🙂
Remember that bit about economic power winning wars? russian GDP is ~1.8T USD. The countries supplying Ukraine have a combined GDP of 40T USD. Long term war is completely about logistics. Not firing the gun once, but firing over and over, but most importantly keeping it supplied. The economic advantage of the West to russia is 40 to 1.8 or a 22:1 advantage. If all things remain the same, russia has a 22:1 shortfall.
But things aren't going to remain the same. Dear leader putin cut off European gas (meaning no income from Europe). Europe put a price cap on russian oil (meaning no profit from Europe). So go ahead russia, try to sell your shite elsewhere. Watch the Chinese and Indians negotiate russia on price into a hole. Which they have. The cap is $60, current trading in Ural Crude is ~$50/barrel. So the russian petro-economy will slowly implode, making the 22:1 economic ratio even steeper.
The sanctions continue to constrict the russian economy. Even the russian central bank is declaring that the russian economy is shrinking. The state bank lies of course, the russian economy is collapsing.

@graemepeters5717 the only thing you have displayed is your willful ignorance and utter disregard for the truth. The purest definition of a russian troll is a liar, that when confronted by their lies, use the "nuh-uh" defense, or to switch the topic. russia hasn't won a battle in 8 months. EIGHT MONTHS of russian ineptitude. Western weapons are pouring in to Ukraine, and your best response is "oops, ....". What kind of mindless twit are you? A russian one.
300,000 conscripted additional soldiers, and the best russia can claim is Soledar, pre war population 10,490. Inept.
Oops? It will be hysterically funny watching you explain the next russian failure. Where will the next 'good will' gesture be, er, flagrant military failure.
Solovyov is threatening Europe. russia cannot even handle Ukraine and russia wants to take on NATO. How ridiculous. russia cannot advance against Ukraine with the handmedowm kit provided. Soon, they will have much better kit, western tanks, western jets, ATACMS. Kerch Strait Bridge go boom.

Not firing the gun once, but firing over and over, but most importantly keeping it supplied. The economic advantage of the West to russia is 40 to 1.8 or a 22:1 advantage. If all things remain the same, russia has a 22:1 shortfall.
But things aren't going to remain the same. Dear leader putin cut off European gas (meaning no income from Europe). Europe put a price cap on russian oil (meaning no profit from Europe). So go ahead russia, try to sell your shite elsewhere. Watch the Chinese and Indians negotiate russia on price into a hole. Which they have. The cap is $60, current trading in Ural Crude is ~$50/barrel. So the russian petro-economy will slowly implode, making the 22:1 economic ratio even steeper.
The sanctions continue to constrict the russian economy. Even the russian central bank is declaring that the russian economy is shrinking. The state bank lies of course, the russian economy is collapsing.

@hugostiglitz8263 How can we be informed that russia is losing the war? Comments by idiotic russian trolls about a negotiated settlement. On the news TODAY, Lukashenka is bleating for a ceasefire. If the russians are doing so well, why do they want to negotiate so hard? No need for that if you can achieve outright victory.
Isn't that right Dmitry?
But russia hasn't achieved victory. russia hasn't achieved ANYTHING of any merit in months. Instead, russian trolls bleat for a negotiated settlement.
russia has lost the war. It will grind on and on.
How long will Victory take? Western resolve, Ukrainian resolve is for the long haul. Who cares how long it takes. 1 year, 5 years, 20 years? It does not matter. russia will be driven out of Ukraine. 135,00 russian dead so far. That is in 12 months, roughly 11.25K/month. At this rate, russia will incur 675,000 cargo 200 in 5 years. Makes me smile! 🙂

@XopBaTZ в следующий раз предоставьте свою иррациональную оценку войны на русском языке. Таким образом, люди смогут увидеть вашу двусмысленную ложь об Украине такой, какая она есть.
By the way, how presumptuous of you to assume anything about me
Let us examine putin's war goals and evaluate how russia is doing
1) putin Goal: Push NATO back from the sh♤thole known as russia's borders. Evaluation: Finland joins NATO, border EXTENDED by 1,340 km. putin fails to achieve his goal.
2) putin Goal: replace President Zelenskyy with a puppet. Evaluation: russia humiliating retreat from Kyiv, no chance to replace President Zelenskyy. putin fails to achieve his goal.
3) putin Goal: demilitarize Ukraine, weaken its military. Evaluation: Ukraine’s armed forces increased from about 250,000 personnel before the war to 700,000 personnel and are now equipped with advanced Western weapons. The sh♡thole known as russia has no answer to HIMARS. Ukraine is far stronger today than anytime in the past. putin fails to achieve his goal.
4) putin Goal: De-nazify Ukraine. Evaluation: The only nazi in Ukraine are russians. If the sh♤thole wants to denazify Ukraine, they can achieve that by leaving.
5) putin Goal: Conquer Ukraine, annex all its lands. Evaluation: sh♤thole russian troops have taken Soledar, population 10,490. In fact, russians humiliating retreat near Kharkiv was followed by the laughable retreat near Kherson.
6) putin goal: preserve the russian language in Ukraine, stating that the russian language was being oppressed by Ukraine. Firstly, that's a demonstrably false accusation. Ukraine was not oppressing the language. Yet since the russian war, the invasion of Ukraine, the population of Ukraine is going out of their way to speak only Ukrainian. russian is not oppressed. Simply put, nobody wants to speak the language of invaders. Complete putin fail, achieves the opposite of his goal.

Ukraine is far stronger today than anytime in the past. putin fails to achieve his goal.
4) putin Goal: De-nazify Ukraine. Evaluation: The only nazi in Ukraine are russians. If the sh♤thole wants to denazify Ukraine, they can achieve that by leaving.
5) putin Goal: Conquer Ukraine, annex all its lands. Evaluation: In fact, russians humiliating retreat near Kharkiv was followed by the laughable retreat near Kherson. russia finally did achieve a great victory and captured Soledar, prewar population 10,490. russia only incurred 20,000 casualties to win this great victory, but those were Wagner. russian military cannot even achieve that.
6) putin goal: preserve the russian language in Ukraine, stating that the russian language was being oppressed by Ukraine. Firstly, that's a demonstrably false accusation.

russian casualties: 269,700
NATO casualties: 0
You mention NATO and NATO weapons, as an excuse why russia is losing. Maybe russia can turn to its allies to make up the 22:1 shortfall in economic power, just as Ukraine turned to Ukraine's allies.
War is about logistics. Not only firing the weapon but keeping the weapon supplied, so it can shoot over and over again. Do you wonder why russian artillery fires are diminishing, kitten? It is because russia lacks an industrial base to match the West. The combined economies of the West are 22 times that of russia, prewar. russia's economy is based on petroleum exports, exports now restricted and sanctioned.
How long will Ukrainian Victory take? Western resolve, Ukrainian resolve is for the long haul. Who cares how long it takes. 1 year, 5 years, 20 years? It does not matter. Who cares how many russians 🌻 in their invasion of a peaceful neighbor. Frankly, I would like 100% of russian invaders to 🌻.
russia will be driven out of Ukraine.

@MikeAG333 Hi Mike. I will attempt to clear it up.
YouTube can and will demonitize creators, such as The Russian Dude, when youTube receives complaints from viewers. It is apparent, to even the most casual of observers, that the russian bots are submitting complaints, because these creators conflict with the russian propaganda. Can't have that, so by complaining about a youTuber, they get that person demonitized. If a person gets demonitized, they may get discouraged and stop producing videos. And be silenced.
Hopefully, that was clear.
Now Officer Starsky, an active military intelligence officer in the Ukrainian Armed Forces, is seeking individuals who have experienced this, to counter the russian effort. Ukraine is fighting in the information space, with words, as well as in the field, with guns. Officer Starsky is continuing that battle, with this request. He wants the world to see their bullspit.
