Warzone/The Drive: Ukraine Situation Report: 100k Russian Casualties Since December, White House Says (Updated)
Over 20,000 Russians were killed in Ukraine since December, according to White House National Security Council spokesman.
Russia has made “incremental gains” in Bakhmut, but those gains and other actions have come at the tremendous cost of more than 20,000 Russian troops killed and 80,000 wounded across Ukraine since December, the White House National Security Council (NSC) said Monday.
Those more than 100,000 casualties since December came as “Russians attempted an offensive in the Donbas that has failed,” Kirby told reporters, including from The War Zone, Monday afternoon. “Last December, the Russians initiated broad operations across multiple lines of effort including Vuldehar, Avdiivka, Bakhmut and Kreminna. Most of these efforts have stalled and Russia has been unable to seize any real strategic and significant territory.”

WNU Editor: If true, that means the Russian army is being crippled. But there is a problem. The White House and the Pentagon are not on the same page.
According to US General Cavoli, Head of US European Command, he just said that “much of the Russian Military has not been affected negatively by this conflict” (see tweet below).
So who is right? The top US General in Europe who is overseeing the US effort to assist Ukraine, or the White House spokesman?

In conclusion, the “spring counter offensive” is over before it began, and Ukraine are about to lose all defensive capabilities. pic.twitter.com/sOaxI4DXek

When you consider that ea tank and AFV APC and truck has 3 to 8 men +, you'd start to beleive the white house appraisal
ReplyDeleteIt's made a dent alright , couldn't take bhakmut and even Wagner says it will be liberated in a counter attack. Their best paratroopers regiments and spetznatz have taken a hammering .
ReplyDeleteReports this morning is Ukraine has taken back territory in bakumut. After all this talk Russia 🇷🇺 is starting to lose there??? What’s wrong with their circus army
ReplyDeleteVery vague reports from Ukrainian generals and plenty of reports suggesting it was a failed counteroffensive. But keep clutching those pearls, they are far and few between these days for you progressive totalitarians.
DeleteNobody has to count lost, all Russia have to do is stop the war nothing else. Waste of time, waste of military equipment, waste of men in uniforms, waste of money.
ReplyDelete1) It is known that Russia took 2/3rds of its infantry guarding the Kola Peninsula and transferred them to Ukraine. When the infantry are rotated back, you can count the smoke stacks or observer other activity or lack of it via satellite. It will be hard to hide long term.
ReplyDelete2) Russia has at least partially withdrawn from Syria.
3) The Chief of Staff of the Malian leader was just assassinated. Does not seem as though Wagner is going to get the job done in Mali. It has been 1 or 2 years.
4) Officer classes are being graduated 2 months early. What training did they leave out? Must have a real high need to for officer replacements. Officer casualties are another indicator along with tanks or IFV's to estimate infantry casualties.
5) The number of Russian refusniks is growing.
6) Russians have withdrawn peacekeepers from Nagarno-Korabakh and the Azeris took advantage of it.
7) There is a lot of withdrawing from around the globe and the periphery of troops.
8) The UUs withdrew 3,0000 troops during the Iraq war from Korea due to stress. It appear the Russians are withdrawing much, much more and are under greater stress.
Russians are using drones to flush out SAM sites. Which is bad for the Ukra9nians. But the Ukrainians will adapt. the enemy always does. The same tactics can be used by the Ukrainians against Russian SAMs sites.
I expect the WH to lie. That said I do not expect everything they say to be a lie or even to be shaded.
The US mapped every farm house in Iraq. Here is the question. Has Russia mapped every pillbox in Ukraine and do they have an up to date status if it is operational and manned or bombed and gutted? The battlefield could be being shaped for possible offensive or it could be a bleeding exercise off the Bakmukh map, where MoD is not paying as much attention.
Waste of time, waste of military equipment, waste of men in uniforms, waste of money.
ReplyDeleteThat ^
The fazman rule comes into play here. If fazzy says something is true then you need to check
ReplyDeleteSource A says:---
ReplyDeleteSource B says:---
Do not bother to read since one is wrong or perhaps two are wrong.
Faz rules!
ReplyDeletehis detractors are class envious
You might wanna check a livemap over Ukraine just once. Then you see all the territories that Ukies loses everyday.
ReplyDeleteFaz has been consistantly wrong for over a year. That is why the fazzman rule exists
ReplyDeleteThe White House lies daily about just everything.
DeleteWe have the best economy in 50 years
Illegal immigration is down by 90 percent
And it goes on and on
"Standard Russian tactic in places like Bakhmut is to send a squad out to "recon". They get lit up by the Ukrainians and the Russians send an artillery barrage to the Ukrainian positions. It isn't pretty, but if you don't care about lives it can be effective. And I think we know how the Russians feel about lives."
ReplyDelete"This is okay. They are not my relatives. So this is okay." WNU
I still find it funny as shit Shoigu never served in the military and is Defense Minister with whatever General rank. Zukhov is probably turning in his grave lol
ReplyDeleteI certainly do not have enough trusted sources/information to say one way or the other. but from my view from Kali, Russia is either just holding the territory they have now consumed or they have failed miserably in conquering Ukraine. Has Russia attained the goals they set out to achieve? was it regime change and they have failed? I would have to know what their goals are for the last 8 months since their first attempt at taking the country failed so miserably.
ReplyDeleteas far as hurting their military capabilities, I think we have seen little of their strategic power and their industry is on a war footing now so they are in a good situation in that sense. I wonder how many of their weapon systems they would have preferred not to show us that they had to drag out. That would be a big win for the west. anyways, what 6:44 says. Stupid.
Russia has suffered losses for sure, but never trust the B!den White House. They are fronts for the B!den Crime Family and the globalist electronic money pushers, the slavemasters. Not to be trusted. to be defeated instead, (at the ballot box I mean)
ReplyDeletejust because Biden lies does not prove that he always lies. Sometimes truth will serve his purpose as well if for nothing else as a head fake.
ReplyDeleteNot to be trusted? Sure.
Always lying? You know what they say about generalizations in test taking.
This war was lost before it started. Joe Biden is no wartime US President and his team headed by Blinken had long careers marred by failure. Biden screwed up by not matching Kremlin war preparations in 2021 by training and equipping the Ukrainians with the weapons systems they are providing now. Too little too late. The sanctions are a disaster to the West as they hurt them and empower other nations to band together with the worlds greatest mineral superpower and manufacturing superpower. Last year when I was a WSJ subscriber I had endless arguments in the comments over Ukraine's impossibility of victory and they should be seeking negotiations ASAP. Instead they wanted to fight it out. Once Ukraine sues for peace, that's it for NATO. Joe Biden killed it. This sets in motion economic and military setbacks the US has never experienced until a new order is established. The USA people won't like what it is.
ReplyDeleteHe attended a ceremony to break ground on a new course at his Aberdeenshire resort, Trump International Scotland.
ReplyDeleteMr Trump, whose mother was from the Isle of Lewis, sparked a security operation on a 2018 visit with protests in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen.
Donald Trump to visit Scotland amid court action
Trumps accused of inflating value of Scots resorts
The visit comes as Mr Trump faces court action in the United States. Earlier this month he pled not guilty to 34 counts of falsifying business records.
He is also facing a civil trial over an allegation that he raped an advice columnist in the mid-1990s. A judge has denied his legal team's request for a mistrial.
Mr Trump, who is running for the White House again in 2024, is visiting Scotland as a private individual.
It is understood there is no requirement on the Scottish or UK governments to pay for special security.
The editor of this site posts articles he feels are relevant to his blog. Why, then, do white trash people feel the need dump shit on others who post here?
ReplyDeleteLeave Fazman alone! He is a good soul and has every right to post comments without having your crap heaped on him. In doing that, you show what a low-class moron you are.
The White trash people you speak of read plenty of shit dumping from fazboy also. The has proved himself to be a twat time and time again. He shouldn't need his little fan club to come here crying in his defense. Get lost.
DeleteAnother progressive racist who thinks they are the good guy/they/them. Thanks for destroying our civilization you fascist.
DeleteNo 2:36. Fazzy is ok, but he is it insistently wrong. So too bad.
ReplyDeleteWhat? You want to be misguided all your life?
Is honest criticism to be vilified?
Is critical thinking to be outlawed because it does not agree to a certain view point?
Fazzy has been here long enough to know that many of us do not agree with him. If you want to walk down the Ukie Rah Rh road with uncle Faz, you go right ahead.
" You can lead a student to knowledge, but you cannot make him think."
Ok Junior, what book is that quote from?
Fazzy has a perception that The West and thier Ukie minions are on the side of good. Why he believes this, he has never explained.
I hope it is not the Lame excuse that "the Russians invaded" and that Settles the argument claim.
That is one of the stupidest logic flaws that the West has used as a narrative point,
and does not stand up to critical thinking.
"get lost" that remark sums up the redneck low IQ mentality of so many who post here.
ReplyDeleteYou do not agree with Faazman? fine. Show us when and where he is wrong. But all I see is name calling,insults and other crap stuff to insult him and/or others.
and do note: two comments here called Biden a liar! Compare his so-called lies with the thousands Trump made.
Name some Trump lies.
Delete4:51
ReplyDeleteOk here are the most famous of Fazman fallacies
a., the russians have out of tanks. Nov 2022
b. There will be 130 leopard tanks delivered to and in the Ukraine by 1 March... Did not happen
c.The russians are surrendering in mass. Stated last fall
d. The Russians have no missiles left Last November and December
e. The Russians are throwing down their weapons and running away. Stated Last fall.
So ends fazzy's credibility
Listen sonny, Just because you are a self hating white boy who does not like whites, maybe you should look around you some time and figure out where all this modern society came from
Like
Transistors
, Telephones
Internal combustion engines
Radio
Electrical generation and transmission systems.
The whole f'ing Industrial Revolution.
If whites had disappeared from the earth 1000 years ago, you might still be using oxen to plow the earth and the automobile would be an item of science fiction.
Your problem is that you listen to that MSM bs and do no critical analysis.
Tell us here how The MSM was telling us the truth when it said:
"we are winning in Afghanistan"
How the covid shot was safe and effective
How the Turner joy and Maddox were attacked by the Viets
How we would all get high-tech jobs when they shipped heavy industry over to china and the country will be much better off.
How Nafta was a good thing for the economy
How The repeal of Glass-Steagall would help the banking and finance industry and therefore help the middle class grow.
.
How Iraq had weapons off mass destruction
ALL LIES
You know what your problem is? You have no depth of understanding. Historical analysis is lost on you because you do not read or explore history.
Fazzy is wrong and so are you.
Biden? Ive watched uncle Joe since he ran for President in the 80's. He is not a liar, he is a consummate liar. This is not a comparison of him and trump.
This is about Joe and the truth be told? Joe is a demented, lying, hair sniffing old wierdo (with kids). Just remember there is now two Joe Bidens.
One is the physical Joe Biden , the man himself. Then because the physical Joe Biden is a demented, doddering old idiot , you have the "Collective Joe Biden".
This is the bureaucratic group of progressive blobbers in his entourage that tells him what to do and say each day.
And your buddy Donny trump? Well he has his own problems and you seem to realize that. Right?
Dude, I was replying to the loser calling people white trash. I know fazboy is a NATO cheerleader
DeleteTrump’s false or misleading claims total 30,573 over 4 years
ReplyDeletecheck them out
guy reads msm and then tells me I mistake because I read MSM...what does he read? Then he tells me what I read and do not read!
ReplyDeleteyes you dunce, I read MSM. The difference between you and me is:
ReplyDeleteI am extremely skeptical about what the say, whereas you immediately believe everything they say and repeat their bullshit narrative which, in the period of weeks, months or years is proven to be bullshit.
BTW Kirby has been a known narrative bs supporter and everything he says has to be checked.
You really are lost? Still fighting everything that might contradict your MSM narrative that you are parroting.
Another useless war….
ReplyDeleteAttacking force always suffer more lose than defending force...Ukraine offensive will also suffer more loses because russia is now on defensive
ReplyDelete4:12
ReplyDeleteYes.. IAW all military staffing Manuels and guidance, the Attack to defend ratio is a standard 3 to 1. Unless it is an urban environment, then traditionally it has been 10 to1. I think that 10 to 1 has been recalculated, but have not checked.
May 2, 2023 at 7:00 PM said "Name some Trump lies."
ReplyDeleteBiggest lie is this:
WASHINGTON — Former President Donald Trump praised the efficacy of the coronavirus vaccines in a new interview just days after being booed by an audience for revealing he received a Covid booster shot.
"The vaccine is one of the greatest achievements of mankind," Trump told conservative commentator Candace Owens in an interview on Wednesday. While Trump has expressed opposition to vaccine mandates, he has long taken credit for the vaccines developed on his watch.
