take this figure with a pinch of salt - it is one of the ukrainian ploy to get more help/weapons faster. Donbas situation is weighing in against them and they r throwing the kitchen sink. They r trying every trick in the book. News sources also say Ukraine has run out thin on artillery shell supply in east. If that was the case, war would fold in 2 months.IndraD wrote:https://twitter.com/bbcworld/status/153 ... DxziDAUCCw
Zelensky admits 200 soldiers of Ukr army getting killed every day and this is from BBC. How long before his entire sena is gobbled? And what would be the ratio of injured/retired hurt?
But it seems ukrainians r hoping to scare the Americans into sending more help. A Russian victory will play very bad for democrats in mid term polls and they cant afford a ukrainian rout. Its that blackmail tactic.
Its in US interest to prolong this war at all costs and US can send loads (upto 5X) more help than what they have till now. Its the morale and men, not weapons that will decide the future. I'm no position to judge morale+men will last longer on which side. But rest assured Ukraine will not loose this was cz they ran outta artillery shell or artillery themselves.
