Ukraine is defending its territory and very existence. Russia doing its own version of MAGA. (MRGA), by trying to expand their territory to the "good old times". And sacrificing more than 600k of their own young man and sending them towards the meat grinder. For nothing.

The numbers of KIA and seriously maimed in the russo-ukrainian conflict is of course not accurately known (to the public).

The numbers reported by the KIEV regime every day is pure propaganda and can't be taken seriously.

By any metrics the ukrainian casualities should be much greater than the russians due to the superiority of artillery shelling and air bombs. Probably by a factor of 5 to 10 times more. Everything points to he fact that the ukrainians are running out of manpower. There are more ukrainian men spending their days in the european shopping malls than at the frontline in Donbass. With the current collapse of the uki front lines the war could be over before 2025. But let's give it 3 to 6 months and the Kiev regime will be done.

I have wasted a lot of time on the russo-ukrainian war, mostly on youtube and twitter, sometimes on Telegram (which I have put dormant for the last months since summer). Without going into the shenanigans of the recruting top much, it's seems like the ukis have mostly run out of volunteers and have resorted to basically kidnapping males of an ever decreasing age to the trenches. Where they hardly survive for a month, let alone a week without any real training. It's just about plugging the gaps with the newly enlisted volkssturm.

That said, the ukis will run out of men much faster than russia. This is just a numbers game. The 2,5 years of attrition seems to have grinded down the AFU to the brink of a total collapse.

I think the real numbers of KIA and maimed in this high intensity conflict will be a revelation after the war. Especially on the ukrainian side of this. While Zelenskji propgates the fake belief in 30.000 casualitis, it's of course total propaganda bullshite. The worst uki figures now in circulation is about 800.000 KIA and more than 1 million men so maimed that they never can't return neither as soldiers or working men in society.

All for nothing.

Nothing is simple. I guess we have yet to see the worst of the russo-ukrainian war.

But pretty sure Trump will not make peace in 24 hrs. Unless it's a total capitulation of the Zelenskyy regime with the whole of east Ukraine gone as part of the deal. Russia could enforce this on their own without any meddling from Trump if the AFU is weakened enough. Also Russia is likely to target the energy infrastructure of Ukraine with another bombing blitz, making Kiev into a powerless freezing hell before christmas.

History legends is out with a new a analytical peace about the Trump factor which is worth watching.

However, enforcing some sort of 100% energy embargo on russia will likely not be possible without using direct US military in Asia and Middel-East. It will become a gigantic escalation. Also, China has no interest in Russia being weakened or loosing the uki war. They know they are the next target of the US gun diplomacy. Taiwan can soon be the next Ukraine so to speak, with Japan and South-Korea as the local proxis.

Anyways, another suggestion of the staggering uki losses is given of 45 thousand each month, which in sort is close to the other suggested figures of a total of 1,8 mill uki casualities (45 000 x 33 months = 1,5 mill). If these numbers are real it would probably open up the peach movement in Europe. But so far only th russians have losses. :-p

@EspenB

I believe that both sides of conflict (elites) are actually very connected and playing on same side. This conflict is a class conflict.
