Would assume they’ve introduced reinforcements since then but that’s an insane percentage. What sends shivers down my spine is the number of Ukrainian losses. Nobody seems to be reporting those which hints at astronomical numbers. "I don't have any facts or data on Ukraine's losses to support this but I'm pretty sure they're 'astronomical.'" 🤣 Meanwhile, Zelensky recently canceled Ukraine's planned Autumn draft and postponed demobilization. This is strong evidence that suggests Ukrainian forces aren't suffering anywhere near the same attrition rate as Russia.

Pretty sure it's mainly just to show Russia & Russians they are able and willing to strike in actual Russian territory, they don't send a lot because they don't want to risk Western support.

I'm assuming he's including civilians, which is likely very high judging by the mass graves and mobile crematoriums. Not sure when we'll get a rough idea of the numbers, but not sure how low they can really be.

Not sure when we'll get a rough idea of the numbers, but not sure how low they can really be. I'm not going to speculate on actual numbers since the only things we get to see are anecdotal. But, in general practice, defending a position exacts a heavier toll on attacking forces than the other way around. Even so, I'd expect the early phases of the war to have been the most costly periods for Ukraine simply because they looked to be the inferior fighting force during that part of the war. Since those early few months, though, we've all seen what's happened. Ukrainians now have numerical, logistic, morale, and just general military superiority over Russia. I suspect that as Russians adopt a more defensive strategy in the war that Ukraine will probably find it more challenging to enjoy the successes they've had over the past several months. Still, the original 100k Russians that were committed to the Ukraine conflict were their most professional, hardened fighters. And if you believe almost any account of Russian losses, they've basically all been wiped out. Just... gone, deleted. And now Russia's strategy is to flood the battlefield with ill-equipped, untrained nudnicks with no food or basic human necessities. I don't see much changing in terms of how this war is playing out on either side when it comes to the human cost. Ukraine will have losses. Russia will just have a lot more.
October 13, 20223 yr Imagine being such a global laughing stock of a military that you're bragging about taking out a Toyota 4Runner

I don't see much changing in terms of how this war is exacting costs on either side. No doubt, vast majority of their casualties also likely came before evacuations. Hell, they were even getting shelled when trying to evacuate after the F-sticks went back on their word to allow a safe corridor. But yeah it makes sense that once the initial siege was repelled and the tide flipped, so did the body count.
