Russian losses so far, 13 800 killed, 430 tanks, 1 375 armored vehicles, 819 soft vehicles, 190 howitzers, 70 rocketartillery, 43 anti aircraft systems, 84 aircrafts, 108 helicopters och 11 large drones.
And unconfirmed reports of two ships sunk outside Odessa as russian landingforces are approaching right now, they are being shelled hard.
Ukrainian forces are launching a counter attack nortwest of Kyjiv.
Ukrainian forces have taken ground and can once again shell the airport of Cherson, russian forces are fleeing the airport and at least 5 or six helicopters are on fire, most likely many more are damaged.
The Ukrainian army has captured more equipment from the Russians than they have lost, and the equipment captured is better than the lost one, for example lost Ukrainian tanks are mostly old T-64 whereas the captured tanks are T-72 and T-90s, they are upgrading!
Ukraine is actually winning this war.
as a comparison american deaths during the whole Vietnam war, from 1954 to 1975 was 58 220.
Thanks for the stats.
Additonally, russian troops are starting to experience shortages of ammo.
While UA lost sovereignty over airspace quite early, RU still failed to establish it.
Putin might have been a good FSB agent, but it doesn't look like he's a great stragegist/warlord.
What's that old saying? You get what you give?
EDIT: IMO they should just divide the country into Eastern and Western Ukraine and continue working on West-UA to be able to join the EU.
NATO expansion (eastwards) wouldn't be the very best idea, though.
What a shame that even in Europe we still can't live in peace together.
