Ukraine Sustains Massive Single-day Losses

During the last 24 hours, Ukraine sustained massive single-day losses across the frontlines. At least, according to the Russian Defense Ministry on Sunday. 

 

The Zaporozhye and Donetsk regions have seen the most intense fighting, with Kiev's forces losing over 1,000 soldiers and 20 tanks. And at least four infantry fighting vehicles, 15 armored fighting vehicles, two US-made M777 howitzers and an indeterminate number of Soviet-made artillery systems. As well as two major ammunition stockpiles. 

 

Thus far, the Ukrainian military has failed to make any major gains, sustaining heavy casualties in the process and losing large amounts of Western-supplied hardware. According to the estimates of Moscow’s military, some 7,500 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed or wounded amid this particular counteroffensive. 

 

The US and NATO sure sold the suckered Ukrainians a big fat lemon with this whole counteroffensive idea – and now they have to live with it. 

 

Or should I say die with it.
