Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday that Russia had trapped the remaining Ukrainian soldiers in its western Kursk region, where they have held on for more than seven months in one of the most important battles of the war.
That’s… simply not true
I can tell you’re a victim of the propaganda mill and get visibly uncomfortable whenever someone says something that goes against your indoctrination.
Actually, reading the rest of your post is kind of hilarious. The absolute delusions you people believe are truly a sight to behold.
Glad I paid attention in social studies. It’s a shame you did not.
Okay, any idea of what the propaganda mill has told me, then?
The facts at hand tell that in the latter half of year 2024 Ukraine received zero military aid from USA. Because of that, the Russia was able to advance at a surpricingly fast pace. Because of this, they managed to conquer as much as 0.7 % of Ukraine’s total territory during that year. Under one percent. When they were fast.
They almost never use tanks anymore, but ATV’s, because they have only the tanks they are able to produce. Which is about 30 per month. Which is a lot, to be honest, but it’s easy for Ukraine to destroy at least one Russian tank per day. And that makes 30 per month as well…
The Russia has had a stable recruitment ability of 25 000 to 35 000 soldiers per month, and are currently losing 1000 to 1400 per day. That makes about 40 000 soldiers lost per month. By far not all of those are deaths, but all of those are permanent losses through very serious wounds or death. When you recruit 35 000 soldiers and lose 40 000, you are not gaining any additional troops. You are keeping their numbers approximately stable, but keeping them approximately stable is what Ukraine is able to do as well. Neither side is able to get additional troops.
Please tell me. What is it that the propaganda mill has told me? I did not feel uncomfortable from what you said, because you said nothing with actual content. You said “simply not true”, and left it to that.
Please tell me something that makes me feel uncomfortable.
There you go just looking for an excuse to spew your propagandized talking points.
Are you going to make an argument of any substance or just keep on with these “you people” attempts to sound superior? If you have something to say, fucking say it instead of just spraying insults at the room.
