Do the math, if your fantasy was correct Russian forces would have won as there wouldn't be a Ukraine army left.

@reaper666-kp8zm so in your fantasy 60,000x28=1.7 million eliminated, presumably 4 million more injured and out of action. That would be all of the men suitable for military service. So why hasn't Russia reached Kyiv? Answer: the figures offered by Russia are nonsense. Yes, Russian casualties are likely greater than Ukraine casualties because Russia has been trying harder to advance, and casualties are expected to be higher for the attacking force. That's the nature of warfare.

@adelarsen9776 strange how Ukraine continues to fight without an army. The Russian army must be amazingly incompetent not to be able to advance at any speed in the face of no opposition.

Putin had the option of never even starting the war.

Ukrainians continue to defend their country against the imperialist Russian invaders. As a sane person would expect the people of any country to defend their country against such a brutal aggressor.
6
@stayhungry1503 that's because Ukraine was invaded by the Russian imperialists and the country is united against the invaders.

@konrad9240 madness for Putin to invade in the first place, Ukraine hasn't needed to import foreign fighters. Russia cannot win in Ukraine for the same reason the US and the Soviet Union couldn't win in Afghanistan and other countries, why Russia couldn't keep Eastern Europe, why Britain couldn't retain her empire. There will always been resistance against imperialist invaders by the local peoples.

@HANSMKAMP the US didn't force Yanukovych to run away, the Ukrainian people did that. They revolted against their president, as did their parliament, after Yanukovych announced that he was going back on his promise to get Ukraine into the EU. An association agreement had been agreed, which Yanukovych, after a chat with Putin, refused to sign, instead announcing that Ukraine would instead join the Eurasian Economic Union, an economic alliance currently composed of 5 former Soviet states. Here's the shocker, Ukrainians didn't throw their president out on behalf of the US, they threw him out on behalf of themselves. The narrative you've bought into is straight from the Kremlin. The US didn't have any resources in Ukraine to remove a president, and Victoria Nuland doesn't have super-villain mind control powers that enable her to control hundreds of thousands of people, causing them to revolt against their elected president. It was Yanukovych's own actions that led to his downfall.

@HANSMKAMP I replied to you, my comment disappeared, try checking sources outside of your normal feed. Did you know Zelensky was elected in 2019, beating also elected incumbent Petro Poreshenko? Did you know that by the time of the February 2022 invasion, civilian deaths in the donbas had dropped to about 10 a year from active military operations? From 2000 in 2014, 900 in 2015?
2
@Andrzej-uw1ho Zelensky's response to the February 2022 Russian invasion pushed Zelensky's approval rating with Ukrainians to over 90%, it has fallen since then but remains strongly positive. If Zelensky is a puppet, it's to his own people.

@jimmyc974 are you quoting from the Human Rights Watch report, which goes on to say: " . . at least 8,000 people died from fighting or war-related causes, though how many of those were civilians remains unknown. The total number of dead may be significantly higher: some graves contained multiple bodies and the remains of others were most likely buried in rubble. Some may remain in makeshift graves, and others may have died later of war-related causes. Some relatives of those missing are still looking for their loved ones."? The report also states that Russia appears to have committed serious war crimes in its disregard for the lives of civilians in Mariupol.
2
@gkrstini Mariupol was a large city of 425,000 before the February 2022 invasion, the initial surprise attack moved quickly to encircle the city, trapping hundreds of thousands of civilians. Then the city was shelled continuously by Russia for a couple of months, destroying about 90% of the buildings. The civilians were "fish in a barrel", unlike soldiers who can disperse to avoid being such easy targets. Compare the death toll in Mariupol with the average of 10 (that's ten, not ten thousand) civilians killed each year in the Donbas from active military operations from 2019 to 2021.
2
@Habibi-vy4hy in the first place Ukraine stopped the Russian invasion before significant weapons arrived from the West. In the second place, Ukraine is more important to Ukrainians than it is to Nato or Russia, that is why Ukrainians have been fighting so hard and for so long. In the third place Ukraine deaths are certainly below 100,000. Military deaths probably around 50,000. Please stop getting your misinformation (as HT does) directly from the Kremlin.
2
@danielculpepper9258 what an amazing analysis it is that you offer to refute my point . . . Sorry, I was being sarcastic, you offer nothing but your empty head and nonsense.
2
@Persev444 hey, what you should do is pretend that I've attacked or insulted you. Victimhood, it's so trendy and effective!

@HANSMKAMP of course you don't believe it, you've been fed a carefully constructed narrative through anti western outlets, supported by the same narrative on social media by Russian troll farms. There are other falsehoods that are also fed in to support the narrative: That Zelensky wasn't democratically elected - he was in 2019, beating incumbent president Petro Poreshenko. That Ukraine killed 14,000 civilians in the Donbas - total civilian casualties 2014-21 was 4000, 1000 of those in 2014, 900 in 2015. In the 3 years between Zelensky being elected and the February 2022 invasion by Russia the civilian death toll was about 75 on both sides, and the majority of those were from landmines and unexploded munitions mostly planted or fired in earlier years. In those 3 years the civilian death toll from active military operations was about 10 per year on both sides, the conflict was petering out, with static lines of control. Life was actually fairly on both sides in the Donbas. There's a UN monitor report online with the details. After Yanukovych fled there was an armed revolt in the Donbas supported by Moscow that attacked police stations and other government people and facilities that didn't support the revolt, so it was the separatists that initiated the violence, it was after that that the violence really kicked off with efforts by the Ukraine government to suppress the revolt. Russia supported the revolt and war against Ukraine from the outset - (Putin actually acknowledged that in one interview).

@HANSMKAMP you've also no doubt been fed the narrative that opposition parties have all been banned in Ukraine. That's a half truth, explicitly pro-Russian parties were initially banned after the 2022 invasion, but their ministers of parliament were not, the Party for Life, was banned, but it's leader ethnic Russian Yuriy Anatoliyovych Boyko simply renamed it the Platform for Life and Peace and it and its MPs remain in the Ukraine parliament to this day. There are vacant seats in the parliament, (about 46 from memory), these are in electorates now under Russian occupation.
1
@HANSMKAMP did you know that the ethnic Russian political opposition leader Yuriy Boyko hasn't been banned or imprisoned, that he still sits in the Ukraine parliament, along with the rest of his party?
1
@HANSMKAMP in everyday life, Russian is not banned, it can be taken as an option in schools. Most Russian speakers in Ukraine are choosing Ukraine over Russia because Russia invaded their country. He was pro-Russian before the Russian invasion in February 2022. Putin has united 85% of Ukrainians against him.
1
the vast majority of ethnic Russian Ukrainians are opposed to the Russian invasion. Russian is not banned in terms of education and everyday use.

@geraldgeaf1292 As far as I know, Yanukovych ran before anyone had reached a decision on his fate should he have been captured by the revolutionaries. But if you've got actual information that he had been informed of his future beheading were he to have stayed, I'd be interested in seeing it.
1
@geraldgeaf1292 your comment doesn't support your earlier claim or address my question about it.
1
@geraldgeaf1292 where was this cliff?
1
@geraldgeaf1292 his motorcade drove him to Berdiansk, where he met a Russian helicopter that took him to Russia.

 @geraldgeaf1292 "Azov" Now you're just trying to embellish an already embellished story. Try not to buy everything you read in Kremlin propaganda releases.

@Tellzel107 nato's army's stayed home, if Putin's army has stayed home, no war.
1
@Tellzel107 countries have joined Nato, that's not the US moving into other countries. The reason countries join Nato is because Russia is a threat, it conquers neighboring countries and subjugates them. It subjugated several central European countries for 45 years and when they escaped that subjugation they joined Nato as a way of reducing the risk of it happening to them again.
1
@Pamela-m9j countries join Nato to reduce the risk of being subjugated by Russia.
1
@Pamela-m9j those countries that joined Nato stayed home.
1
@Tellzel107 countries neighboring Russia are not "in Russian's backyard" unless you think Russian's "backyard" is on the other side of the border with sovereign nations.
1
@Tellzel107 it's Ukraine that is fighting to defend its territory against an invader.
1
@Tellzel107 if you (at number 10) have friends next door (at number 12) whose home is invaded and ransacked by the people in the gang house at number 14. Do you defend the right of the gangsters, because in their view, the people at number 12 "live in their backyard" Well, that's what you're doing.
1
@Tellzel107 the countries giving the most support to Ukraine, in terms of the proportion of their GDP, are the small countries closest to Russia, this is because they see Russia as a threat that needs to be stopped.
1
@Tellzel107 there is no prospect of Ukraine joining Nato. Putin wants to expand Russia's power in the region, and do it by conquest if that's the only option open to him. All those former Warsaw Pact countries, so strong in their support for Ukraine, know exactly what that means.
1
@Pamela-m9j nato isn't expanding into Ukraine, Russia is being blocked from expanding into Ukraine.
1
@Pamela-m9j have a look at a map of where the Russian army is.

@ViceCoin Putin is just like Stalin, but Russia is not the Soviet Union.

@elodia57 URAAA2

@gkrstini you've got it backwards, as oryx shows. Russia invaded with the best they had, now they're having to pull old Soviet junk out of storage, the quality of the equipment Russia is using is declining, while the quality of the equipment Ukraine is getting from the west is improving .
1
@gkrstini oh, and Russia shelled Mariupol to ruin, killing over 20,000 civilians in the first couple of months of the war.
1
@johnringoo756 none of those, and I rate HT as of a similar quality to those BS producers.

@jimmyc974 dilten made a reasonable and sound comment, Jimmy's comment was the comment expected from a child.
1
@michaelradisis2980 Russian leaders have always placed a low value on human life, from Lenin to Stalin to Putin, and that includes placing a low value on Russian lives.
1
@derrickjoe1872 only around 0.1 to 1% of artillery rounds fired actually kill anyone, the kill rate at the higher end if it's well directed and against more densely grouped troops exposed through launching an attack. The kill ratio is at the lower end when artillery is used against soldiers in trenches and fortified positions. Ukraine has been trying to concentrate artillery against the Russian's when they group and are attacking, Russia has been mainly using artillery against troops in entrenched and fortified positions.
1
@konrad9240 Russia is the largest member of the Collective Security Treaty Organization, the other members: Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Armenia and Tajikistan have not been supplying Russia with much in the way of support because they know that Putin is the aggressor and that they could easily be next on Putin's list.
1
@bidemibadmus5700 is that nonsense what you call reasoning?
1
@Tellzel107 what Putin, as exKGB knows, is how to deceive.
1
@Persev444 please engage the thing between your ears. The Ukrainians are fighting to defend their country from an invader, like the Afghans did against the Soviet Union and the US. The aggressor, in this case Russia, will tire of their imperialist war before the defenders stop defending their homes.
1
@Persev444 despite what you imagine, Western military resources are several times larger than Russia's.
