FOX News: Ukraine killing nearly 1,000 Russian troops every day, eliminates 5,000 in single battle 

Ukrainian forces are killing nearly 1,000 Russian troops every day, and they eliminated 5,000 troops in a single battle in late January, according to U.K. officials citing data from Ukraine. 

Russian troops, including the elite 155th naval infantry, stormed the Ukrainian coal mining city Vuhledar near Dontesk in late January. Ukrainian forces repelled the offensive, however, and killed, injured or captured 5,000 Russian troops. 

Meanwhile, U.K. officials say the war is exacting a heavy toll on Russia, with 824 Russian troops dying each day, according to Ukrainian updates.

"The 155th brigade already had to be restaffed three times. The first time after Irpin and Bucha; the second time they were defeated near Donetsk – they recovered again," Oleksiy Dmytrashkivskyi, a Ukrainian defense forces spokesman, told Politico. "And now almost the entire brigade has already been destroyed near Vuhledar."

Probably the prisoners who went in first( Wagner group) to find the firing positions of the Ukrainians… half killed by Ukrainian troops and other half by Russian troops when they retreated…

Russian ground forces on the Kola Peninsula in northwestern Russia have been reduced to one-fifth of their initial strength numbers before the invasion of Ukraine, supporting ISW's longtime assessment that the Kremlin is not concerned about a NATO conventional military threat against Russia.

The Russian army is dying.

Despite what Russian irredentist WNU says.

NATO should hold very aggressive exercises right up on the border with Russia in the Kola peninsula. They should increase troop strength and make Putin sweat.

Looked at video. Lots of dead
Who are they?
Unknown. Said to be Russians but unknown

Brit Intel. Don't trust it. The Ukrainian soldier who said the Maine brigade was wiped out. Is he telling the truth? And how does he know how how many were killed? Did he count them all?
97% of army is in Ukraine. Did they moved all the Siberian troops West?
Unknown also
But I think that if those soldiers are any where , they are in transit to staging areas. Or still on the frontier

>Video appears on russian telegram showing the Ukrainian corpses being prepared for repatriation (Ukraine can't spare the manpower to collect their own dead)

>2 hours later a Ukraine flag watermark is added, reuploaded to Uke propaganda channels and claimed to be from the other side

I'm of the opposite opinion. The only reason the Russians can be gaining ground (however limited and feeble it may be) is their willingness to accept huge casualties. I find the Ukrainian claims to be credible, though I am willing to accept that their numbers overestimate Russian casualties by 20% or so.

However, I am leery of the claim that 97% of the Russian army is in Ukraine. That is such a huge number that I can't believe Putin has denuded everything else to conduct its operations in Ukraine. Russia has undoubtedly been pulling lots of troops from other areas to feed the meatgrinder. But to the extent that only 3% of its army is engaged elsewhere? Even considering the Russian navy and air force is not counted in that, I find it hard to believe. It is obviously their main focus, but they have to be keeping some units in Russia itself.
