@admin Earlier you claimed that the Ukrainian death toll was around 10x the Russian one. How do you reconcile those figures with the facts that Russia failed to take Kiev, is mobilizing, and is losing territory in the East?
Russia put about 1/3 to 1/2 of the forces they assembled to take Mariupol into the Kiev AO, which had double the number of defenders that Mariupol did.
The 40-mile-long convoy that was stalled outside of Kiev is estimated to have had around 15,000 troops in it, and that’s just the troops from on direction, who never made it to Kiev, which was being approached from multiple fronts. The Mariupol offensive is estimated to have involved 14,000 Russian troops, so your claim makes zero sense. Maybe you mean a force half the size of the Mariupol offensive actually made it, though 😉 .
but there was never a battle for Kiev
Is it only a battle for Kiev if there is fighting in the city? Or does a successful defense that prevents them from ever getting that close mean there was no battle? If the latter, I suppose you’re technically right. But while there was no real battle in Kiev, there was absolutely a battle for Kiev, and it lasted a month before the Russians finally gave up.
The UA regular army was defeated in June
Lol. LMAO even. Even Russia’s claimed numbers don’t come close to justifying this. You guys say the most insane shit.
literally What The Fuck Are You Talking About.
The 10,500 square kilometers that Russia controlled a month ago, but that doesn’t control now. You know, the territory shown in the map at the top of this thread. It’s high res, you should check it out.

Yadda yadda yadda, blah blah blah, this week’s post about why Ukraine is about to collapse that I’ve been seeing for months now. It’ll be interesting to see what your new theory is for why Russia is about to make a breakthrough in November.
“Here’s a picture of Russia’s latest production tank. This is proof that their equipment is modern.”
“No, I didn’t know that they only have like 20 of these”
“No, I didn’t know that nearly 60% of the Russian tanks getting destroyed or captured in Ukraine now are Soviet-era”
“No, I didn’t know that as of a few months ago they started sending in the Vietnam-era T-62”
“No, I haven’t thought about how arguing that their equipment is modern and capable just makes their current performance seem all the more pathetic.”
You’re right, I should switch to the official Russian propaganda sources. Russian state media, as we all know, has an excellent track record, and is known for their reliability and honesty in all their endeavors.
Honestly, if you guys actually had decent sources like you pretend to, you wouldn’t have gotten so angry when I was telling you that it was looking like Russia was seriously underperforming way back in March. Instead, you would have been arguing with the guys claiming everything was fine.

Ghost of Kyjev was such a great joke
Almost to make it obvious right at the beginning of the war, that you shouldn't even bother trying to make sense of it
