BBC: 'Dying by the dozens every day' - Ukraine losses climb
There has been a dramatic rise in Ukraine's number of dead, according to new estimates by unnamed US officials. The BBC's Quentin Sommerville has been on the front line in the east, where the grim task of counting the dead has become a daily reality.
The unknown soldiers lie piled high in a small brick mortuary, not very far from the front line in Donetsk, where 26-year-old Margo says she speaks to the dead.
"It may sound weird… but I'm the one who wants to apologise for their deaths. I want to thank them somehow. It's as if they can hear, but they can't respond."
At her cluttered desk outside the mortuary's heavy door, she sits, pen in hand. It is her job to record the particulars of the fallen.
Ukraine gives no official toll of its war dead - the Ukrainian armed forces have reiterated that their war casualty numbers are a state secret - but Margo knows the losses are huge.

WNU Editor: These stats do not include Ukraine missing. My Ukraine sources are quoting double what the BBC is reporting, and they are also not including the missing.
I bet they die by more than "dozens every day"...fck this war and those who started it!
ReplyDeleteI second that. Fck Putin!
ReplyDelete⬆️ NATO troll alert ⬆️ 🐑
DeleteN o..reality check.. fk putin
DeleteLast few days concerned Russians were worried about the flanks of the Robotyne salient, but only when they were not concerned about the Ukrainian casualties.
ReplyDeleteKopani is under pressure and Verbove is falling, so we are back to casualties again.
Why does Fatman and Littleboy always assume that Russia can take the same or more casualties than Ukraine and soldier on? That is the rule of thumb, but it is not a proven theorem or corollary.
Just remember, when Verbove falls, the second seal, I mean the second line is broken. The Ukrainians do not have to breach the 3rd line to win. So expect Fatman to post casualty stories at least once a week.
You all can fantasize all you want., but you are not going to see the Ukrainians fail again and to add, with one again with massive casualties.
ReplyDeleteHow can you be sure? Just look at the last 12 months. the grave yards are full
As are Russian ones
DeleteNot as much Fazzy. Your 5 eyes propaganda machine says otherwise, but it cannot hide the fact that the ukie death toll has been about 10 to 1.

But they also said that the age and ability of the soldiers they are sent varies wildly, as Ukrainian commanders on the front line are often unwilling to spare their best men. One volunteer who turned up in Germany was 71 years old.
...that's right: FT identified a 71-year-old Ukrainian in the ranks of the NATO-sponsored training program. While perhaps admirable in terms of the individual elderly man's courage and willingness to defend his country, the whole scenario underscores the sad state of affairs within Ukraine military ranks, given they are sending geriatrics.
Once agin, who do they have to fight? old men and kids
