The exact numbers do not matter. The BALLPARK(s) do matter!

The original claim by the "russian shill" was that Ukriane lost at least 80% of its active military personnell within 12months. Any army that would sustain such losses would be near collapse or already have collapsed, especially considering the rather small training capabilities, lack of reported burials, lack of crying mothers, decaying morale, and all the other stuff that would go along with LOSING YOUR ENTIRE FUCKING ARMY WITHIN 12 MONTHS. 

The point is: 
The original claim that Ukriane lost as many men during the past 12 months, as the US lost during the entire WWII, equating to 80%-100% of the ukrainian armed forces present at the start of the war, this claim is so blatantly absurd that it does not deserve the bandwidth it (rather by accident) has been assigned here.
Much like flat fucking earth.

The Ukrainian losses are said to be around 125,000 and Russian losses are said to be around 175,000.

And we must not fool ourselves this is still a David vs. Goliath situation:




As far as I know: the US + Europe do not have enough shells to supply to the Ukrainian artillery and they are looking for ways to ramp us the production of shells.

 
+ There is a problem of manpower on both sides. Russians have a bigger army. But 700 thousand Russians have fled Russia to avoid being drafted.
 
+ In the Long run Russia is totally devastated. It is moving toward becoming a second North-Korea, a mere puppet of China and if this article is true they may be giving some of their territory to China in the far-east.
 
My point of view: The world didn’t need that. I think there could have been some international policies to be put in place after 1991 precisely to avoid such a huge S-up. I am personally nostalgic of the Russian economic and political presence that existed in the 90’s and early 2000’s. I don’t think it’s a good thing that China is making so many advances in so many areas within a relatively short period of time. There is some lack of balance in the whole world if you know what I mean
