General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
DETAILS:
The total combat losses of the Russian forces between 24 February 2022 and 21 April 2024 are estimated to be as follows [figures in parentheses represent the latest losses – ed.]:
• 459,530 (+950) military personnel;
• 7,229 (+16) tanks;
• 13,896 (+23) armored combat vehicles;
• 11,719 (+41) artillery systems;
• 1,046 (+0) multiple-launch rocket systems;
• 767 (+4) air defense systems;
• 348 (+0) fixed-wing aircraft;
• 325 (+0) helicopters;
• 9,379 (+38) strategic and tactical UAVs;
• 2,115 (+6) cruise missiles;
• 26 (+0) ships and boats;
• 1 (+0) submarines;
• 15,785 (+68) vehicles and tankers;
• 1,926 (+8) special vehicles and other equipment.
This is typical of war economies.
The highest rate of GDP growth Germany ever saw was IIRC, in 1943-44, 11%
This was when its cities were being flattened, food rationing was in effect, and civil investment had flat-lined. But they were making lots of tanks, aicraft and ammo.
The same happened in the US (other than cities being destroyed) - GDP growth was 18.9% in 1942.
You actually believe The Clown Joe Blogs!
You're a no-load.
Amen to that.
YouCrayne is just as Corrupt as Ruzzia.

“Pray for God ‘s intervention to stop Putin’s invasion of Ukraine 🇺🇸... How stupid can one person be?”
Yes, I believe in prayer.
Each of us have freedom of thought and of expression.
I am not here to dictate and impose my point of view on others. Let us respect that we each share mutual freedom of thought and of expression regardless of our differing viewpoints.
I guess the “Z Man” thinks he has the Senate bought & paid for??
Exactly. This provides nothing but kickbacks and more cannon fodder. Eventually instead of money it will be….. if we dont get US boots on the ground (insert scary threat about Russia taking over the world here). Folks who say no to that will also be called brainwashed by Russian propaganda.
Not really.
President Zelenskyy trusts the U.S.
“Why care about Ukraine and the Budapest Memorandum”
Brookings
https://www.brookings.edu/articles/why-care-about-ukraine-and-the-budapest-memorandum/
In the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, the United States, Russia, and Britain committed “to respect the independence and sovereignty and the existing borders of Ukraine” and “to refrain from the threat or use of force” against the country.
Those assurances played a key role in persuading the Ukrainian government in Kyiv to give up what amounted to the world’s third largest nuclear arsenal, consisting of some 1,900 strategic nuclear warheads. Extending the Non-Proliferation Treaty, Assurances for Ukraine
Before agreeing to give up this nuclear arsenal, Kyiv sought three assurances:
1st- it wanted compensation for the value of the highly-enriched uranium in the nuclear warheads, which could be blended down for use as fuel for nuclear reactors. Russia agreed to provide that.
2nd- eliminating ICBMs, ICBM silos, and bombers did not come cheaply. With its economy rapidly contracting, the Ukrainian government could not afford the costs. The United States agreed to cover those costs with Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction assistance.
3rd- Ukraine wanted guarantees or assurances of its security once it got rid of the nuclear arms. The Budapest Memorandum provided security assurances.
Unfortunately, RUSSIA HAS BROKEN virtually all the commitments it undertook in that document. It used military force to seize, and then illegally annex, Ukraine’s Crimean peninsula in early 2014. -excerpt
Good grief, when has a commander of an army written such a letter thanking us for stealing more of our tax dollars that should be going to OUR OWN BOARDER and country. This man is sick, as is all of our tax dollars that is being thrown to some war that has been has going on now for three stinking years. It all makes me sick.
ZEEPER FOLLIES PINGLIST!(((PING!)))
If $60 Billion for the Ukies does not win the War for YouCraynee’s
Send in 10,000 French Surrender Monkey’s
You and others here think because we do not support sending American
Tax Dollars to YouCrayne we are Ruzzia supporters. We are not.
YouCraynee is as Corrupt as Russia.
Agree

Good money after bad.
Ukraine is lost.
The only questions are: how soon, and at what cost in lives and treasure.
