Russia has destroyed the foreign corporations "investment" and turned off the gas to EU; I think you may be looking at the wrong war; the Western interests interest is simply money.

Which nation would that be? Currently, with elections due on July 4th, a lot of people in this sovereign democracy have little faith in the current administration (odds 1-9 against); the economic model, of the last 45 years; the media or the select few multi-millionaires that "invest" in politics, or avoiding legislation. As for dictators; we had: King's; Queens and Lords for a thousand years, the church holding power; now it's the "robber barons" exporting public money, draining the UK economy. Seems now the Emperor(s) want our clothes... In actual fact; Ukraine was a sovereign democratic country, from around 1994; currently there are no elections so while the Parliament is legit; the current President has had 5 years in office, so isn't. So I don't have any trust in this post-Soviet Dictatorship, or two horse democracy, both backed by the same "club" and where the vote is war, or war? These Ukrainian figure are clearly made up to suit; while Ukraine had the choice neutrality or war; now they will be in debt to the West forever, unless Russia wins (so I hope that happens) America and the EU should not have been messing about in Eastern Europe; look at the mess they make; this isn't Libya they are facing; it's Russia. I trust they'll sort this out.

What are you missing? That would be: the person, or persons, doing the counting; their preferred methodology and independent verification of results; that's all. I've mentioned this before, but American Intelligence estimated that Russia had just under 3,000 tanks when the conflict began in 2022; while Ukraine claims it has destroyed over 7,500 of them. Of course Russia can manufacture tanks, but these are really 20th century weapons; vulnerable without air cover; so America sent 31 and I doubt they'll send more (it took a year to make them). With Ukraine claiming to have lost 30K troops; to Russia's 380K; it seems the first casualty of war is "truth", what's missing is evidence of 60K+ vehicles and artillery destroyed (where is it?).

@hkuiper100 I've certainly not and they can't keep making things up, it's becoming farcical... so no wonder it can't be independently verified (it's fake news).

@hkuiper100 I've not.

Russia isn't really making claims; it's "our" media doing most of the talking; based on what the Ukraine Ministry of Info tells them... and if true, they don't need our money.

@mrfurieux9587 I doubt any country has a stockpile of 7,500 tanks because, they are: expensive to produce and maintain; really 20th century weapons and vulnerable to a range of lower cost anti-tank weapons. The 3,000 figure was American intelligence estimates of total Russia tank numbers at the start of the conflict; so something doesn't add up; same with Ukraine earlier claiming 30K troop losses to estimated 380K Russian troop losses; considering Russia has artillery and air superiority. I'm still waiting to see the evidence of all these destroyed vehicles and artillery (over 60,000); but that seems to be missing.
