If you think about it, Russia is getting certain demographics killed intentionally by sending them to prison potentially, to force them into recruitment. So its like a cooperative effort at eugenics, this conflict.
One thing that I like about these bi-weekly videos that you do is add some context and scope. I listen to daily reports of what's going on in the battlefield but it's a bit difficult to figure out what this means in the bigger picture. You're doing a good job on that part for sure.
@@markinglese3874who’s side are u on 🤔

As this war continues, it’ll take a massive toll on each country’s resources. “When logs need to be added to the fire, how many people would demolish their house for fuel. That’s what it means to be trapped in total war and stare into the darkness beyond.” ~Unknown
Russia if this continues will be desintegrated... because it is not a nation but an empire... when some subjugate other peoples.
On the resources war front?
Ukraine has less than Russia.
And Ukraine is highly dependent on Western material and aid.
A distinct lack in having air superiority over its own territory?
Is unraveling any gains on the ground that Ukraine makes and making it easier to hit Ukraines' inner urban centers and industrial sites.
The dependency on Western aid and the air superiority problem?
Could end up costing Ukraine this war and its sovereignty, if not solidly addressed first the long haul.
Also.
The apparent tactic of turning every village and defensible piece of ground or structure into a Russian meat grinder mightve worked in the short term.
But unless Ukraine can seriously make concrete moves to toss Puddins orcs out??
Like take vast tracts of ground and hold it indefinitely?
This fight isn't going to save Ukraine.
@@ravenrise320 the thing is, russia has to use long ranged missile strikes to carry out those attacks... because they don't have stealth or air superiority. ukraine on the other hand, is getting external supplies of aircraft (that are actually more modern by comparison).
so... we'll see how the air superiority goes, but honestly i think that will shift towards ukraine.
ukrainian intel seems to be far better, so i think their aircraft will be better guarded overall (which you can see with just the airframe losses last year). hopefully with something more modern, they'll faire even better than this.
@D3nchanter
If Ukraine can modernize her military and defense industrial infrastructure and become less dependent on foreign aid?
You could have a point.
But at present?
Russia doesn't need to launch long range missiles in order to hit Ukrainian targets. It can launch air strikes either from Russia or its ally Belarus.
The only thing keeping such bombardment on a back foot is the presence of Western supplied, modern, anti-aircraft assets.
If those supplies dry up or become harder to get?
Russia will increase its air assaults on Ukrainian territory and cities and have virtual uncontested air superiority over Ukraine.
Ukraine actually needed more advanced aircraft like the American F-16 at the very start of this war.
Modern armor like the Leopard or Abrams, less so.
But what Ukraine needed, most of all were skilled tankers and pilots.
Ukraine has constantly been on the ropes for military personnel who were trained to operate modern equipment.
For many years after the fall of the Soviet Union, the withdrawal of Soviet troops from Ukraine, AND the idiotic signing over and removal of Ukraines nuclear stockpile.
Ukraine has made blunder after blunder and suffered horribly from governmental corruption and stupidity.
Not to mention a fair amount of Russian meddling in Ukrainien political and economic affairs as well.
Even now, Ukraine still battles with governmental and military corruption. Which is NOT something a country ever wants to have to struggle with during an invasion or even a foreign war.
So much remains to be seen about this war.
IF the West begins to tire of supplying a war that's not being won by Ukraine?
Which there are already rumbles of going on in the halls of the U.S. government?
Then Ukraine is in major trouble.
@@ravenrise320I wish my country (US) had done much more much sooner, and all I can do is to continue lobbying for aid for Ukraine, and try to get people around me to refuse to vote for politicians who do not place this war as a high priority. I truly hope that my government stops playing politics on the graves of the dead, and actually gives Ukraine what it needs to win.
Excellent recap of this year in the war. Thank you for continuing to cover this war. As so many other crises are popping up around the world, the fickle media often forgets about the Ukrainians still fighting off an invasion. As a long time lover of your historical work, I also now very much enjoy your work on current events. Thank you!!
Where can I find the information that you state about the confirmed losses? Russian losses seem like some made up numbers
It is literally stated in the video.
Use that little device in your hand its got acess to this thing called the internet where you can find all the answers to your questions. Good luck on this journey i have little hope for you.
Nearly unanimous from third party sources with no dog in the fight. Russia has lost anywhere from 350k to 400+
Thank you for continuing to inform about this conflict.
Your work is invaluable.
Casualty numbers are always so inflated on both sides.
I'd argue that the majority of casualities are not recognizable afterwards or became mist from bombing strikes. I am pretty sure estimates are somewhat accurate.
I LOVE these videos! Amazing work.The information and visuals are top notch.This is how it should be done.Thank u and keep up the great work.BTW- I’m 47 and these are the military videos I’ve been waiting for my whole life.BRAVO!
Thankyou really very much for your material related to War in Ukraine
WW1 Vibes - Meat Grinder in every sense of the word. The Gallantry, Tenacity, resilience, and sheer determination of these Ukrainian men/soldiers is astounding.
Fantastic breakdown 👌
Innocence...is the first casualty of War😢
If this turns out like WW1 for Russia we may see an end to reign of the Modern Tsar
Ukrainian? You mean Nazis
That means there are definitely bigger loses than this video is trying to tell... it is impossible to have 100K+ KIA in two years after all those bloody battles and meat waves. It really can be around 300K KIA and milion WIA. We really do not know how many russians died in buchankas and in primitive field hospitals... and HIMARS strikes against big groups of russians in rear...
@@thatisme3thatisme38 who is ?
Think about the advancements in "mine clearing systems" that will come about after this war. Its crazy to think of all the unexploded ordinance that will inevitably be lying around
How Can Russia have 300k casualties? wouldn't that mean they lost every single soldier that has been sent into Ukraine? I've also yet to hear about the amount of Ukrainian casualties.
The term casualty doesn't mean killed in action, it can either be wounded or displaced from combat due to other factors like sickness.
Or even rendered as ineffective from chronic alcohol or drug abuse.
@RoKBottomStudios But if Russia had that many losses, that means their front line would've collapsed, and Ukraine could've taken back the land they lost.
@RoKBottomStudios This was said before Russian mobilized even more troops, BTW. So, please make it make sense
@@dantezogratis2636 Russia has mobilized enough to replace them, that is why they have not collapsed.
Russian losses are very likely higher as these are "safe" estimates.
The closest figures we have on Ukraine is about 120k casualties from a US report back in September time.
Probably less than half of that 120k are dead as Ukraine seems to look after and recover it's soldiers better.
While I enjoy your content and this seris helps me be up to date to recent development in the Ukraine war I am bit baffled as to why the ukraine human losses are never mentioned compared to the russian losses being kept up to date in every episode.
Sure I understand that there is a lot of misinformation and both sides extravacate the others losses while probably down playing their own. Yet there should be some numbers that can be used as a general indication.
When there is a number that can be considered reliable, we state it. The last one we have seen was an anonymous source from Pentagon with 120k casualties. I think it was in August or September.
@@Samuel42069 So if you know the number of casualties of one side but not the other, you would say nothing? :D Thank god u are not a journalist.
Cause this is BIASED, they never show the ukrainian losses, i love this channel but hate this series, they mention barely reliable numbers provided by the US and Ukraine about Russian losses but why can't they do it the other way too? Also it's not like im taking Russia's side, both countries have done horrible stuff even if "russia started it"
@@RoyinszkiIn the west there is freedom of press unlike in Russia where the goverment has to give the population huge casaulty numbers
@@KingsandGenerals How is ths 300K plus casualities figure got from, from western sources yeh they so reliable at the start of the war they kept mentioning putin was ill and had a terminal condition. Kings and Generals use some basic common sense if 300K russian casualities then russia will be doing numerous conscription rounds, russia is not so that kinda tells you this figure is pure garbage. Kings and Generals do not pick a side just report on the situation as accurately as one can.
thanks for posting
Thanks youtube members and patreons!!❤
Why are you saying Putin does not consider diplomacy? He has already tried to settle the war multiple times. Boris Johnson and the rest of NATO pressured Zelensky to not seek terms with Russia.
you got a source?
Why would NATO negotiate when they have Russias back against the wall? Pointless. Russia is conscripting even more men into service because of their losses. If NATO decided to launch a full scale war Russia would fall. They have fought too hard and too long to take on NATO at this point. Which is why he has resorted to mentioning nuclear weapons. Actions of a desperate man
Yes and Poland started ww2... Ya muppet LMAO

A superb review of the events of this year's conflict. Your continued coverage of this war is greatly appreciated. The Ukrainians are still battling off an invasion, but the media is so distracted by other problems that they often fail to cover this one. Even while I've always enjoyed your historical writings, I've recently come to like your take on current events as well. Much obliged.
I wait for these time capsules/historical summaries and thoroughly appreciate them.
Casualties doesn't mean kill, i can be from injure in battles to having a minor injury, same goes with ukraine
Yes, but they did separate KIA and WIA in the video.
The issue with casualties is that most of the time is reported by one side and that is Ukrainian Army. They tend to hype Russian casualties and then suspiciously hide their own. The fact of the matter is, don’t trust these numbers even when they come from the Russian side.
No one know the real numbers

Thank you.
Your videos really help put this all into perspective. Thanks
I've been a follower of the events leading up to and throughout the start of the Campaign. This channel by way of monitoring the effects and affects of its attrition showing just how costly war is. Its metrics measured in more ways than the price of ammunition and armaments and the systems that have been a vital toolkit for adapting to the ever changing environment and how the evolution of warfare has always been acknowledged in this conflict. Although I personally believe a peaceful resolution can allow recovery from the war, the financial crisis makes it impossible to calculate how the region will rebuild after the war. There's so many different aspects that go into the logistics and planning even forwarding the defensive line has a cost that is calculated prior to executing the orders necessary. The price of War will compare to the price of Peace. Reconstruction efforts after the war undoubtedly will take generations of survivors and veterans both in order to heal the region of it's hostility amidst the scars left on the terrain, the people and the infrastructure needed to civilize the wartorn battlefields once the killing stops.
If Germany and France could recover from the far more brutal World Wars 1 and 2, then I don't think war recovery will be a real concern long-term. Many countries have already pledged to help rebuild the large Ukrainian cities after the war is over and there's 350 billion dollars of Russian frozen assets that is in limbo and can be worked out to be used to rebuild Ukraine. The biggest issues will be the massive minefields and unexploded ordnance that western Europe and Balkan countries like Bosnia are dealing with to this day.
As the technological advances allowed for thermal optics on drones to highlight the land mines to the advantage of close air support and pinpoint accuracy of the artillery that can still be used to dispose the defensive ordinance rendering them obsolete. Engineering equipment will have immense value in the rebuilding process. Tractors and Agricultural machinery are going to be in high demand and no different than the Soviets after WW2 in order to rebuild a lot after the scorched earth policies traded farming equipment and machinery to their Allies, helping those recovery efforts take place. It's important at least for both sides to not go extinct fighting this war, no one would be left behind to rebuild on either side..
@@anonymousanonymous31also the Money is frozen, ist's not sure it can be used for rebuilding. Because of many factors it is quite possible, that It will stay frozen but nothing else.

It is unlikely that any specific equipment sent by Japan will arrive in Ukraine. Rather, it will be used to backfill.
Something similar is happening with China. No Chinese formal military hardware (so not counting the FPV drones) will arrive in Ukraine. Instead Chinese production is used to backfill North Korean contributions to Russia, which are only available because China is back filling them.

@@KingsandGeneralsvisually confirmed by whom 🙄
@@clairsnow6404 it says in the video.
Good video
Propaganda ,ucraine Has more losees than you says
Both numbers are hard to pinpoint as both sides don’t want to unveil their actual casualties.
With the figures for lost equipment at the end, what is counted as a drone? Because those numbers seem way too small. I watched a DW news video where they were in Ukraine talking to FPV drone pilots and they were saying they were going through thousands of drones per month. I’m sure Russia is similar.
That figure for lost Drones should be clarified. That probably refers to the more sophisticated, larger, more capable Drones, meant to be reused, and typically dedicated to surveillance tasks, or to be used as Weapons platforms.
The FPV Drones often go on One Way Missions, where they are sacrificed in service of destroying a higher value target. Towards that end, they should be counted as expendable, Single-Use Munitions, not toted up as "lost" ( any more than we would deem an Artillery Shell or Bullet which has been fired at the Enemy, as some sort of "Combat Loss"!
Yeah, large drones. Bayraktar, Orion and such.
That's an insane number of men that died for 60km2 of land gained over 12 months. How have the Russians become so docile to let their leaders sacrifice them for virtually nothing like that..
You should ask a German veteran from 1914
By modern standards yes it's quite shocking but by historical standards this a drop in the bucket its horrifying but it ain't much
Russian are fighting for their mother land, the land has been lost by communist in soviet union time
@@FIYOSyou can’t compare previous eras of warfare like that, drafts and mobilizations themselves are much smaller than they used to be, also squads companies, and battalions have all shrunk in size since ww1-ww2, for a modern first word nation to have 250k-300k loses in a war is worrisome, in 20 years of Iraq, the US lost less than 10K, Russia really is using ww1 manpower tactics in the modern era and it’s a bloodbath
@@FIYOS Yeah im talking about modern standards, 100 years ago you could easily get away with this but today with modern weapons and communication technology, everyone has a camera etc. you would expect the Russians to revolt as they seem to do every 30 years or so, but no, they just take it.

Keep dreaming, along with the psyop, probably CIA funded, that is KandG. Even the US government is telling Elensky (because Ukraine banned the letter "Z"), that Ukraine is going to have to settle for territorial concessions, meaning Russia's keeping what used to be Ukrainian territory, which used to be Russian.
Ukraine will prevail @@davidhughes8357
Could this regional stalemate in Ukraine ever boil into a global military conflict?
Unlikely
Quite the opposite. During early WWII, Adolf & Tojo received tremendous positive results, causing both to go 'all in.'
Whereas, Putin has seen fiasco after fiasco. He's also seen no economic benefits -- nothing like capturing entire nations 99% intact.
Putin's claims WRT the West-as-a-threat are pure BS -- as is revealed by the West's tepid military response -- a trickle of junkyard gear.
You should know, as the Press won't admit it, that most of the European military aid has proved to be in such shoddy condition that it all has to be re-manufactured. That's why you keep hearing about deliveries -- half-a-year later -- finally arriving for the battlefield.
EG Leopard I tanks -- these largely came from units sold for scrap by Belgium. (!)
EG Challenger II tanks -- most were actually SCRAPPED -- not even sent over for their spares value. (!) Kyiv only received a company. (14)
EG Gepard AAA tanks -- these were so shot that every last one had to be re-manufactured. They are THAT old.
EG Bradleys -- every last one sent is 30+ years old. How many civilian cars are 30+ years old -- especially off-road machines?
no but it's an indicator of how future wars might play out. which if trench warfare is coming back, is grim
@@Riley-uy5pe again, unlikely. Every war is unique. Even WWI was only a trench war in the west. In the east and west Asia it was a very maneuver conflict. This one is like that because neither side can achieve the air supremacy.
that all depends on how much russia wants to antagonize NATO, (regardless of american fascist's plans to leave it), and whether russia decides to do something that forces a NATO intervention. biological or nuclear weapons, a large casualty incident in NATO territory, etc

It's just modern trench warefare. An unthinkable amount of able body humans just thrown into the meat grinder all for the gain of mere specs on the map.
you guys spelled STRUGGLE wrong in the thumbnail
no, looks good on my end
Avdiivka has collapsed in russian hand
well its already predicted since support from west keep decreasing
Why do so many people assume that the Patriot was what destroyed the five Russian Flankers over the Christmas week? I understand that the S-300 doesn't have the missile defense capabilities of the Patriot but it is capable of destroyed aircraft at a similar range. Why shouldn't we consider that the S-300 destroyed the Flankers?
While it is possible, the open source reporting has been that the Ukrainians have been running out of S-300 (hence the FrankenSAM mods).
@@MM22966, I have heard that the S-300 missiles are running low but I don't know what this means relative to the Patriot munitions.
The destruction of the Flankers may have only required 5-10 missiles.
You bring up an interesting point about the Franken-SAMs, I thought that this was referring to the use of Sea Sparrow missiles with the BUK not the S-300. Are you aware of a similar program for the S-300?
There are more targets than can be destroyed by the Patriots. Some are too cheap for the Patriots to use their expensive missiles on. So, cheaper AA defence is always needed.
Merci aujour duit
I'm not sure if the figures of losses cover the Rosgvardia; they have been largely removed now but they led initially in 2022 assault with light forces and suffered accordingly.
Might be worth checking.
I wish I can support I am at the poverty line myself amazing channel been following for a few years now, very knowledgeable
Take care of yourself, thanks for considering!
Thank you very much and thank you from behalf of all my people good man 🙏🙏🙏
Wait so basically russia is fighting nato since so many countries are giving ukraine money and military equipment?
Was Germany fighting the US and the UK on the eastern front of WW2?
@KuroiReaper cool. show me a Russian or Soviet historian saying that Germany was fighting the America and Britain on the eastern front.
@@KuroiReaperHow are you breathing with so few braincells?
By that logic ukraine fights russia north korea china iran and other allies at the same time? Double standarts
The amount of human casualties is just extremely sad.
thank you for the video from Odesa
Im not an expert in metallurgy, but I had some sort of dental braces as kid. When you want something to be flexible but strong as well. To put it in the classic sense: it should bend, but dont break. In my case, I foolishly tended to toy with the braces, causing metal fatigue and breaking it.
As for the United States, they prefer Russia to bow, but not to break. A collapse of the Moscovite Empire might affect the eurasian region in drastic ways. Preventing escalation is not only to protect western nations - its also how to preserve stability in Russia. In the case of Germany its about a feeling of moral obligation, due to the horrific history of World War 2, in wich the nazi's inflicted (at least) 20 million dead Russians. For decades, Berlin had a natural tolerant and lenient posture towards Moscow and its interests.
Other nations like France and the Netherlands had other motivations but eventually similar approaches in their policy towards the Russian, with the failed hope to smoothen tensions with diplomatic and economic ties. But this is well-known and hardly something new to mention. But how about military pressure? Lets get back to the comparison: please bend, but not break! But the possiblity of such depends on the materials: is it flexible enough to bow?
So, how realistic is it for Putin and its clique to be convinced into rational and peace-loving actions, rather then nostaligic warfare and imperialism? Will Russia bend, without the need to break it? If you want peace, prepare for war. Putin and most dictatorial regimes have a more predator-like philosphy. Its not about choice or opportunism - its a core habit of their very nature of seeing things. When predators smell blood and weakness, they get a very narrow field of thinking and acting. They will push again and again.
In my definition, there is a difference between a stalemate and a frozen conflict. The first can be factual on the battlefield, for shorter or longer time. The second is more about strive and motivations: its more a choice. In WW1, we saw years of stalemates. But mostly, both sides send all-in, a total war effort for nothing less but victory. Anyway, there is certainly a part of the western public and political spectre that considers some kind of frozen conflict the best possible. In a cynical way: give Ukraine enough support to survive and fend off Russia, but not enough to win and liberate their sovereign lands. Hoping for a cool-down of the war in due time, making Putin to reconsider his ambitions.
Both sides are not willing to settle for real. I will focus on Russia. They sustained tremendous losses and the current strategic perspective will result in very meager gains. Stolen lands will not be recognized and with ‘Lake NATO’ and the new long border with this alliance is far from positive. This can undermine Putins political control over internal affairs. Regarding the predator-trait: Putin will continue to push and hit. He sees a lot of space for extra advantages. Besides, Russia is putting their economy on a war footing. While reluctant to mobilize more cannon fodder, most elements of the military-industrial complex have been revived and improvided: for a long-term war of attrition.
Recently, I mentioned the dark scenario of Ukraine developing nuclear weapons, as desperate measure versus passive western allies. But experts also fear the possible escalation of the Russian expansion into the baltic states. It might not be realistic for Putin to pull that off and win - but his predator-instinct might take over, when the west shows weakness. Forget rational thinking. When sharks smell fish blood, they get in a feeding frenzy. History is littered with examples of conquerors who didnt know how or when to stop.
How about the other consideration: weakening and neutralizing Russia, without destroying it? That might be an impossible dream. Either Russia will overcome the stress and roll into NATO territories with greater numbers, backed with total-war industry. Either, this will give Putin the illusion he can win, tempting him to exhaust whats left of Russia’s future.For a frozen conflict can also bring long-term damage to Russian stability - even when it doesnt result in a war with NATO.
It means the Russian economy and society will be stressed for years to come, cannibalized for the glory of this 'special operation'. When all remaining fat has been scraped from the bottom, the nation might implode. Thus, in the end: a lenient western posture and a frozen conflict might backfire, hurting not only Europe and Ukraine, but also whats left of Russia. So, putting up a firm wall of steel and fire and a hard no towards Moscow, might not only save Ukraine and the European continent from destruction, but also might preserve Russian stability.
So, the current road taken, might break Russia a lot worse. Instead, lets take the tough stand, the sooner and the faster, the better. While there is no silver bullet or risk-free choice, the lesser of two evils weighs a lot towards a stronger and defiant stand against Moscovite agression.
very well written
@@jefclark thx, i appreciate the feedback. My regular english qv0ra post was sabotaged by the algoritm gods. Fortunately, both dutch version and this great channel helped to share serious information as well. I always try to like videos here, its great anyway with serious stuff. After all, im just a guest and lucky for any room any day around. Have a good week!
If I am not wrong in American Congress, the division and splitting of Russia was spoken more than once and it's easily understandable why. I am Def not sympathizing for the Russian side, as I know many of them, with an emphasis on the uneducated Russian class, do want this war. Out of curiosity how do you see the war ending? How do you see Russia after Putin?

What are Ukraine casualties?
Dont ask forbidden questions
@@remington2216 NYT said it can be 131k
@@floatingdeadfish4080go bring your bs elsewhere since no one will believe it. And last time I checked it was Ukraine who was struggling to get new troops which is clear evidence that they lost so many men.
