Various analysts estimate the number of Ukrainians killed (KIA) to be 100,000+. Just in the last month Ukraine has been conducting non stop offensives but has failed to make any significant territorial gains.
Since the successful Kharkiv counter offensive about 2 months ago, what people don't realize is that Ukraine never stopped launching offensives. It's just that they have all failed to gain ground, with Ukraine sustaining massive losses in the process.
In the last month or so Ukraine has sustained thousands of casualties with hundreds of tanks, armored vehicles and trucks destroyed. At the moment it's very common for the Ukrainian military to use Polish/Romanian conscripts to supplement their numbers. In some cases they conduct offensives all by themselves.
Ukraine is currently on the 9th round of conscription. Increasingly we are seeing women and elderly people being conscripted now. Recently Slovenia gave Ukraine 28x T-55s. It's mind boggling how western journalists try to spin this as a positive development for Ukraine. They made fun of Russia for deploying T-62s to their allied militias, but now they say that "age can be deceiving" when talking about the 70 year old T-55s.
Slovenia Is Giving Ukraine Some Very Old Tanks. But Age Can Be Deceiving.
Slovenia has announced it’s sending to Ukraine some very old tanks. As in, 70 years old, if you’re simply dating the original design. But the Slovenians have given them some interesting upgrades.
