US Intel Report: 315 Thousand Ruzzkies lost

The losses have reportedly set back Russia's military modernization efforts by 18 years.

After Wladimir Zielinski’s visit to Washington, there was another announcement about US military support, this time worth $200 million, as declared by Joe Biden:

"We’ll continue to supply Ukraine with critical weapons and equipment as long as we can, including $200 million I just approved today in critically needed equipment: additional air-defense interceptors, artillery, and ammunition. But without supplemental funding, we’re rapidly coming to the end of our ability to help Ukraine respond to the urgent operational demands that it has. Putin is banking on the United States failing to deliver for Ukraine. We must, we must, we must prove him wrong."

The Pentagon unveiled plans to allocate an additional $200 million towards Ukraine's arsenal, which includes essential ammunition and equipment such as artillery rounds and bullets. However, the available funds for weaponry appropriations now stand at just $4.4 billion, prompting President Biden to request an additional $61.4 billion. This money is to be split approximately in half: one part directed towards the Pentagon to replenish the weaponry it is currently furnishing, and the other half dedicated to humanitarian assistance and bolstering the Ukrainian government's capacity to handle critical functions like emergency response, public infrastructure, and other essential operations, according to the latest AP Agency report.

Our friend and guest Jeff Fischer is now in Washington. Tonight, we will talk to him about ATACMS long-range ballistic missiles that Ukraine desperately needs. Our sources claim that there is a way to provide this deadly effective weapon system to Ukraine, bypassing political roadblocks in Washington.

"Today, President Biden and I discussed how to increase our strengths for next year. First, air defense and destroying Russian logistics on Ukraine’s land. Mr. President, thank you very much for your support — supporting us in these areas — like our victory in the Black Sea. We aim to win the air battle, crushing Russian air dominance. This will intensify our ground advantages in 2024 with our control of the skies. Who controls the skies controls the war’s duration."

Just when Zielinski left Washington, a recent US intelligence community report was declassified and handed over to the media. This is an assessment of almost 2 full years of Russia waging war against Ukraine.

"Since then, the report found, 315,000 Russian troops, or about 87% of the total with which it started the war, have been killed or injured." Reuters Report on Russian Casualties

This scale of losses are not only military problems but also has a demographic influence. According to US Intelligence, Russia has lost a huge amount of military equipment:

"The Russian army began the war with 3,100 tanks, lost 2,200 of them and has had to 'backfill' that force with T62 tanks produced in the 1970s, leaving it only 1,300 tanks on the battlefield." US Intelligence Report

Russia lost a significant number of tanks and has had to lower recruitment standards. As the report claims, "Russia declared a partial mobilization... and has relaxed standards to allow recruitment of convicts and older civilians." Speaking to the public in Moscow, where Vladolf PUTLER organized his first public press since the war broke out, he addressed the US intelligence claims regarding the need for another mobilization:

"The flow of men ready to defend our homeland with arms in hand is not decreasing. Together with volunteers, there should be around half a million people. There is no need for mobilisation as of today."

On this occasion, Putin repeated the same set of lies: that the war is caused by the West, not by the imperial ambitions of Russia. The goal, he claimed, is not resetting the Soviet Empire but the sick and blatant lie of “denazification.” Despite the losses, Russia will continue to send people to fight in Ukraine, because, as Stalin used to say, “There are lots of people in Russia.”

"There will be peace when we achieve our goals. Let's return to these goals: they have not changed. I'll remind you of what we talked about then: the denazification of Ukraine, its demilitarization, its neutral status. As for demilitarization, if they don't want to come to an agreement, then we are forced to take other measures, including military ones."

As always, Putin linked his criminal activities with the Ukrainian’s will to be a part of the free world. MAIDAN 2013, according to Putin, was a coup financed by US and Western intelligence. It is Russia that was saving its own people when it annexed Crimea.

"The unbridled desire to creep towards our borders, taking Ukraine into NATO, all this led to this tragedy. Plus the bloody events in Donbass for eight years - all this led to the tragedy that we are now experiencing. They forced us into these actions."

Of course, Putin was referring to the US, as he always does. His stance is perverse, as his lying nature is. The sanctions are Putin’s problem. Lifting of sanctions and stopping the military support from the US are conditions for “fully fledged relations”...

"When internal changes happen (in the United States), when they start respecting other people, other countries, when they start looking for compromise instead of trying to resolve their issues with sanctions and military intervention, then the fundamental conditions will be in place to restore fully-fledged relations."

The problem is that in the ideal world no-one should be thinking about rebuilding relations with a state responsible for war crimes of the scale Putler’s Russia is responsible of. But there are way too many “Russia understanders” out there on our political backyards and cabinets. But we do not live in the ideal world. And that’s why Putin’s lies will be used as an excuse to reset the relations and come back to do raw materials and cheap labour business with Russia as they were always doing.
