Heavy Losses Leave Russia Short of Its Goal, U.S. Officials Say
NYT ^ | 11-AUG-2022 | Helene Cooper

The staggeringly high rate of Russian casualties in Ukraine means that President Vladimir V. Putin may not be able to achieve one of his key war objectives: seizing the entire eastern region of the country this year, officials in the Biden administration and military experts say.

With 500 Russian troops killed or wounded every day, according to the latest estimate by American intelligence and military officials, Russia’s war effort has decelerated to a grinding slog, the officials said.

We should continue to help them lose. Think of how WW1 changed the country. Perhaps not for the better but they know the rest of the world is doing better than them this time around. The EU is one big party and they’re not invited.

I don’t put very much faith in what Jo Jo’s “U.S. Officials” say. They’re the ones pimping “climate change”.

At this point, should we believe anything the Biden administration and defense officials say?

It’s a federal government that can’t be believed or trusted for anything.

Russian forces have established complete control over the strategic settlement of Peski in the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), Russia’s Defense Ministry has said.

“As a result of the offensive by the allied forces [Russian troops and DPR militia] the settlement of Peski has been fully liberated” from the Ukrainian military, the ministry’s spokesman Lieutenant General Igor Konashenkov announced during his daily briefing on Saturday.

“Jo Jo’s “U.S. Officials””

You mean the officials who said RuZZia was going to invade Ukraine in Feb when much of FR was saying otherwise?

“500 Russian troops killed or wounded every day”

80,000 casualties in 5.5 months. That is close to 500 per day.

It was easy to predict the inevitable, where Russia had amassed 200 thousand troops and heavy tanks and other armored vehicles. I knew it was going to happen, and didn't need Biden or any defense official to tell me.

Still, how credible do you think the Biden administration is or has been?

I didn't think 200,000 troops was enough. So I thought Putin was bluffing.

“500 Russian troops killed or wounded every day”

The problem is that there are tons of people looking at obituaries, funerals, social media posts, etc. and not finding any evidence of anything near the Western propaganda numbers. They did, by the way, have no trouble documenting the 3,500 killed or so killed early in the war, but now they find very few.

And it makes sense, since Russia doesn’t advance until days or weeks of artillery shelling, far different than the start of the war.

But, as usual, they’ll be coming for MORE MONEY - which is why we have to put up with articles like this.
