In August 2023, The New York Times quoted unnamed U.S. officials as saying that up to 70,000 Ukrainian troops had been killed and 100,000 to 120,000 wounded. in the ongoing war. Later, a new estimate by a U.S. official in October 2024, put the number of Ukrainian casualties at more than 57,500 killed and 250,000 wounded. NOT EVEN CLOSE!
Below are the number of Killed, wounded Ukrainian troops in the 97 DAYS from August 6 to November 11:
Donetsk direction - 67,370 people - 30% of the total losses;
Pokrovskoe direction - 49,715 people - 22% of the total losses
Kupyansk direction - 46,270 people - 21% of the total losses
Kursk direction - 30,640 people - 14% of the total losses.
Average daily losses are:
Donetsk direction – 695 people/day;
Pokrovskoe direction - 513 people/day;
Kupyansk direction - 477 people/day;
Kursk direction - 316 people/day;
South Donetsk direction - 119 people/day;
Kharkov direction - 106 people/day;
Kherson direction - 67 people/day.
In all directions - 2,293 people/day.
These numbers come from the Russian Ministry of Defense whose specialized teams have to go out after battle and physically clean-out the Dead so disease does not strike their advancing Russian troops.
It should be taken into account that the Ministry of Defense reflects in its reports the approximate losses of the enemy only on the line of combat contact, not counting the servicemen killed as a result of the use of Russian long-range precision weapons and aviation deep in Ukrainian territory.
Put simply, the situation for Ukraine is NOT that of a "meat-grinder" it is more accurate to call it a "slaughter house."
The average life-expectancy for NEW Ukrainian troops reaching an actual battle with Russian troops, is: 4 hours.
WHY?
This war began because of NATO Expansion. Despite all you're being told to the contrary, the FALSE claims that this is about Ukrainian Freedom, or that Russian launched an "unprovoked aggression" -- former NATO General Secretary Jens Stoltenberg said the actual cause, himself.
Below is now former NATO Chief Jens Stoltenberg admitting that Russian President Putin "Went to war to prevent more NATO across his borders."
All the other people making all the other claims about how and why this war started are bullshit, to cover up what Jens Stoltenberg himself, admitted. The expansion of NATO caused this war.
This is the NATO boss himself, admitting this. ALL the stories we're told about this being "Russian aggression" and it being about Ukraine's freedom, are deliberate LIES to cover up the fact that we in the West caused this war by OUR expansion of NATO to Russia's borders.
Our own governments are deliberately lying to us, to cover up the fact that THEY caused this war. Lie after lie after lie from the very people whose salaries WE pay.
