Citing the number of people who have lost their lives in the defence of Severodonetsk, the governor of Luhansk, Sergey Haidai, says Ukrainians would begin to withdraw from the devastated city amid continuous Russian air and ground assaults. Commander Oleksandr claims Russian combat losses are even higher, taking Sky News to the site of major battle near the town of Avdiivka to make his point.

The number of deaths in the Russian military is a highly sensitive secret, although it admitted to the deaths of 1,351 in March.NATO officials estimate that up to 40,000 Russian troops have been killed, injured, captured or gone missing in the first month of the war. "In general, we shouldn't give them the opportunity to hold territory in valuable positions. We need to hit them in the places where they don't have so many forces."Iryna Tsybuh is the leader of a medical crew with the Ukraine military

It's gruelling work. In the previous few days she said they've rescued 22 men - two had died. Some of her crew are clearly very young. The youngest is just 22 years old.The numbers of dead and injured worry her. Iryna says there are plenty of Ukrainians willing to take their place but they lack the skills.Before the war Iryna worked as a media trainer doing occasional rotations on the frontline."I hate war," she says.

sparkomat Watch sparkomat's full report from the Donbas region of Ukraine, as one commander of an elite unit of marines says 80% of his troops have been killed or injured

They fought bravely. The western media made it out that it was just Russia losing heavy numbers but that was never going to happen against one of the powerful military powers.

This what I think will happen at the G7 summit 'nothing'. Because (1) the fight in Ukraine will go on even if we sent more weapons into the fight Russia will win or we enter WW3 or full nuclear annihilation. (2) sanction is crippling us faster than Russia so we will bow out. 1/

RussianUkrainianWar would have ended by now if not for western world (US led) who keep on thwarting any negotiations. In order to hurt Russia they are pushing Ukranians into meat grinder.

The world is watching and allowing it to happen. History will not be kind to this era.

Victims of US led aggression

减少伤亡就是胜利,不能让优秀的乌克兰人死在不值一个卢布的暴徒手里。

Russia will take back former Soviet Russian ethnic speaking areas and partition the country to provide a buffer from NATO.

Narrative collapse in full swing. The UKR army best gone, years in training, all for nothing since Johnson scuppered peace talks in Istanbul & now Russia has no reason for peace. 9 ' a core of experienced soldiers who had been fighting together since 2018 have been lost.'

One big family 🙄🙄👇👇

Truth is stubborn, we were told by one of the UK's top army officers that Russia had strategelly lost the war.

It is not a war. It's a special operation. NATO lost. The eagle and its chicks can not against the great Russian bear. These three know that this is so.-
