Putin Cops to ‘Significant Losses,’ Inferior Weapons in Stunning War Admission
The Daily Beast ^ | June 9, 2023 | Shannon Vavra

Posted on 06/09/2023 3:27:26 PM PDT by Timber Rattler

In a rare admission, Russian President Vladimir Putin acknowledged Friday that Russia is sustaining “significant losses” in the war on Ukraine.

“In recent days, we have seen significant losses in Ukraine, they exceed the classical figure,” he said, according to the Kremlin.

The Russian president also confessed that Russian forces were dealing with artillery problems, adding in his remarks that “Yes, we still do not have enough of these modern weapons, but the defense industry, the country's military-industrial complex is developing rapidly.”

The dispirited comments about Moscow’s prospects in the war come just as Ukraine has launched a series of counteroffensives to push Russian forces out of the country.

He doesn’t admit to any failure, so what’s he got in his back pocket?

Putin was looking very depressed with Lukashenko in Sochi today.

He knows his land bridge’s days are numbered.

Bad translation. What he actually said:

“Over these days, we are seeing significant losses of troops of the Ukrainian regime. It is known that during offensive operations, losses of about three to one are a classic. But in this case, it significantly exceeds the classical indicators. I won’t reproduce these figures now, but they are impressive.”

I hate to poo poo the Biden administration, but they think Russia is Iraq...when you have a low IQ presidents like Zelensky and Biden...sending his people on suicide runs...I think Russia is just toying with them in total war it would have been over long time ago

...to them it is still a SMO...the administration and NATO is just giving Ukraine token weapons...they need 1000’s of tanks then Russia will see it as an invasion and nuke Ukraine...best solution negotiated settlement.
