Many thanks to RMN reader Mike in Pennsylvania who forwarded the following;

Western sources say that in retreating the Russians have left behind at least 400,000 dead Ukrainians. And many more wounded. This agrees with the Chechen General. There are few Ukrainians left at the front and US, Polish, and other forces in Ukrainian units have taken their place. A retreat that consumes the soldiers of the other side becomes the source of a massive victory as the opposing army is burned out by "victories". NATO has been outfoxed.

Ukraine war: 80% of troops killed or injured in elite military unit, says commander

400,000 DEAD UKRAINIAN SOLDIERS BASED ON WESTERN SOURCES

Compliments of the Lifschultz Organization founded in 1899

Despite western politicians pushing for more war today military to military negotiations CONTINUED at the tactical and operational level (see link). Thus the military, who apparently wants to stop the slaughter and is trying to prevent escalation, makes much more sense than that our government caretakers do.

Four hundred thousand (400,000) Ukrainian soldiers died (western sources say according to source below) and yet western politicians want to carry on the war effort and refuse to negotiate?

DKL wrote this part:

The western source does not give Russian dead but says it is very, very low. The Russians say about 6,000 died but do not give wounded (Sergei Shoigu as Minister of Defense for Russia is the source). One million troops were mobilized by the Ukraine so that the death rate was 40% at 400,000. In World War Two Russia faced the German Army with about ten million troops and ended the war with ten million troops. Estimated dead were about 8.7 million troops. This means that Stalin replaced all of the dead soldiers during the war. The German Red Cross reported in 2005 that the records of the military search service WAS list total Wehrmacht losses at 4.3 million men (3.1 million dead and 1.2 million missing) in World War II. Their figures include Austria and conscripted ethnic Germans from Eastern Europe.)

It appears these western sources tabulated the dead by reviewing all Ukrainian newspapers adding them together. It is interesting to note that

one of my former OSS neighbors used to read all the German newspapers for the OSS during World War Two for similar intelligence and also focused on the location of the living soldiers to determine the location of the actual units for those alive to determine where the units were. Unit designations were supplied rather unwittingly by the German newspapers. These readings allowed the OSS to determine relatively speaking troop strength and location of forces facing the Russians and later the allies after Normandy.

As we reported earlier, in our study of German Panzer Operations in World War Two Colonel General Ehhard Raus of the German Third Panzer Army explained the Russian concept of the mincing machine where rather than charging well fortified position as in World war One you instead reverted to the use of concentrated artillery attacks and though it was very much slower it worked brilliantly in drastically lowering casualties. The Russians used this for about four months this year to wipe out massive fortified bunkers and hardly had any casualties at all wiping out hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian forces. The defensive structures that the Russians obliterated were probably the greatest example of defensive works in history far superior to the Maginot Line of World War One. We quote from Colonel General Raus from page 127 of his book entitled "Panzer Operations":

"The first week of the snail offensive resulted in the occupation of fourteen villages and the capture of numerous prisoners, while our own losses were negligible. Most important, however, was the confidence that the troops in the Alarmeinheiten gained in this combat method, regarding which the Russians themselves coined the expression the "mincing machine," which aptly defined our "attacks with limited objectives" that were conducted with all heavy weapons under firm control."

This is why the Russians said that they were totally unconcerned with how long this process would take as it conserved your men. The Russians did suffer high casualty levels in their offensive towards Kiev which was abandoned but appears to be in the planning stages again as the Russians transferred 80,000 troops to Belarus and Belarus has activated 40,000 troops. Belarus can activate very rapidly over 340,000 more reserves and the Russians can transfer from other theaters another 200,000 troops. This blow would end the independence of the Ukrainian nation in our lifetime.

This ends DKL's contribution and our European Correspondent continues:

How much of a sacrifice of the Ukrainian people does Washington, Brussels, and London require to satisfy the bloodlust of the political class and to meet the nefarious objectives of its geopolitical think tanks?

This is genocide by proxy. The West stands accused in the eyes of the world.

Whether or not the actual figure of dead is indeed 400,000 or as I suspect closer to half of that,-who knows? it's more than evident that Russia has the upper hand and Hellensky needs to be stopped like before yesterday, as this white powder sniffing clinical psychopath is clearly out of control and guilty of the crime of genocide even before the start of Russia's special operation.

Young men and women untrained in combat skills and recently drafted by Kiev are now no more than fodder for Russia's giant meat grinder.

For that Hellensky is responsible.

As for any foreign mercenaries meeting the same fate, well for them I shed no tears. Killing as a paid 'sport' has no place in my heart and as the old adage goes, "you reap what you sow," be that in this life, or after.
