Russia - Ukraine war part ll. News and Discussions

Russia is hardly using infantry these days. They use millions of cheap jam proof fiber optic guided toy drones. Human casualties in modern wars is minimal. It's nowhere near 500,000 men.

7,000 Russian soldiers are dying per week. That’s not my opinion, that’s per Sec of State Rubio.
 
An episode of combat work in Ukraine, Russian heavy flamethrower systems TOS-1A. The video shows the strikes of Russian TOS-1A Solntsepek missiles, presumably in the Pokrovsky direction in the Donbas. After the impact of the thermobaric munition, the temperature rises to three thousand degrees in the epicenter of the explosion. TOS-1A Solntsepek is a 2001 modification of the TOS-1 Pinocchio system developed in 1980.

It would be best to treat casualty figures with a level of skepticism. If SecState said it, it might be accurate based on the intel he has available to him. But still not something I'd go to the bank with.
 
Destruction of thermal power plants continue to hamper electricity in Ukraine.

Russia is slowly taken all of Donbass. They already control 85% of the territory. What benefits will Russia get, they already lost Ukraine due to the war, lost 10,000s of equipment, 100 000s of soldiers. Unless Ukraine agrees to not join Nato, to not allow any nato troops on its land. It will be a failure. What gurantees are their that in 10 years Ukraine will again want to join nato. The war will restart again.

Also Russia is taking extra land than Donbass, possibly for negotiations.

Taking all of Donbas satisfies the objectives that Mr Putin publically set for Russia about two years ago. Hence he can maintain his strongman image and portray the war as a Russian victory.

After seizing Donbas, he will sit down and negotiate with Ukraine and get whatever he can. If he doesnt get much, he wont care because he can still claim victory. It's why Mr Putin has been so unreasonable in all negotiations to end this war uptil now.

Absolutely no one believes this war was started for the Donbas alone. Thats just Putin coping and moving the goalposts because in reality Russia failed in its true objectives.

It’s clear this war isn’t ending anytime soon. Neither side is budging, and the Trump admin is hitting a wall regardless of how “well” the talks are going.

Ukraine can just keep stalling. If a blue wave arrives at next years midterms, that undercuts Trumps power and officially makes him a lame duck president.
