The head of the military department, Shoigu, announced the losses of the Ukrainian army in September

Russian troops were able to significantly expand the zone of control in the Sinkovka and Petropavlovka areas near Kupyansk. This happened thanks to the professionalism and courage of the personnel of the 25th and 138th motorized rifle brigades. This was announced by Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu in his opening remarks at a meeting of the Board of the Ministry of Defense.

Russian troops managed to hold the front line in all directions, inflicting blows on the Ukrainian army, which led to large losses in both personnel and equipment. According to Shoigu, in September 2023, the Ukrainian Armed Forces lost over 17 thousand people, as well as more than 2700 weapons. The minister also confirmed the destruction of two German Leopard MBTs and one British Challenger 2, but the command has no information about the second one destroyed. Seven American Bradley infantry fighting vehicles were knocked out, there is no information on Marder and Stryker, although they have already appeared in reports. The Ukrainian Armed Forces also suffered heavy losses in artillery; ours destroyed 51 self-propelled artillery units and 77 towed howitzers, including foreign-made ones.

Over the current month, over seventeen thousand people, more than two thousand seven hundred units of weapons and military equipment have been destroyed

- declared Shoigu.

The minister confirmed the absence of any significant results of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ counter-offensive, which has been going on for four months. At the same time, the United States and other allies of Ukraine continue to supply weapon APU.

The United States and its allies continue to arm the armed forces of Ukraine, and the Kiev regime throws untrained soldiers into senseless assaults, to slaughter

- the minister added.

What for?
Boast about good things, not about this.
This is a problem.
We, like suckers, were dragged into a fratricidal war.
Russians kill Russians for money from a common enemy.

This is not bragging. Typical combat statistics.

[Egeny]

The usual statistics... this is when the goal is the same, but the fact that ours are dying is silent. Even if our losses are 10 times smaller, they are still big losses... and nothing to brag about.
This is grief and tears.

[Carmela]

Quote from Egeni

and nothing to brag about.

The report from the front is not boasting, but a statement of facts.

[Shurik70]

Ours are dying too.
Fewer than Ukrainians (fewer people always die in a good defense), but how much less - we won’t find out soon (if we find out at all)
But even if it’s 1:10, it still works out a lot.

[dmi.pris1]

Why do Shoigu and Konashchenkov have such discrepancies regarding destroyed foreign equipment? The minister’s loss of equipment is more realistic

[Arkady007]

What are your suggestions in this case to leave everything as it is?

[Egeny]

And no one cares about our proposals. There are generals, they were trained in this at academies... but, apparently, not all graduated with honors.

[credo]

The way events are rapidly changing in the countries bordering Russia suggests that there is no trace of fatigue in the West and the United States personally from the Northern Military District - the inclusion of Finland in NATO, the tightening of requirements for Russian speakers in the Baltics, the tragedy in Nagorno-Karabakh, as well as friction between Armenia and Azerbaijan with the involvement of Turkey in this process, again voices in Georgia about returning Abkhazia and South Ossetia to Georgian horror by force and the US encroachment of Central Asia - and even greater shocks await us.

Love will definitely not save a world like it is now on Earth, and those who believe in it will wash themselves with blood more than once.

[Poplar]

The way events are rapidly changing in the countries bordering Russia suggests that there is no trace of fatigue in the West and the United States personally from the Northern Military District.

Your examples indicate just the opposite: all border countries are starting to mind their own affairs and problems. And if by fatigue you mean a change in your attitude towards Russia to a more tolerant and respectful one, then you need to slightly adjust the concept: “fatigue”.
Although in general, yes - you don’t see much fatigue. Your examples are just not entirely successful.

The Kakelas are not our brothers. This time. Kakely are not Russian. That's two. Stop chewing on this liberal snot. You would also call the Armenians a fraternal people.

[Ghost1]

Well, the powerful people at the top are talking about the fraternal people, so your conclusion does not play any role, it is yours.

[Uncle lee]

The Minister confirmed the absence of any significant results of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ counter-offensive

So we are sitting on the defensive....And when will our counter-offensive take place?

Which one are you talking about? If we're talking about the Nazis, then we probably won't be limited to mobilizing 300 people, and even using weapons based on new physical principles and old methods based on the process of interaction of an atomic nucleus with another nucleus or an elementary particle, which may be accompanied by a change in the composition and structure of the nucleus , or already tested on the enemy, YET not everything is smooth...
And, if you are talking about the spring of 2024, then the clearing there has been cleared, and in the future there are no worthy people to be seen...

Among Russians or among party comrades?!
Its rating is the same as that of the Admiral Kuznetsov TAVKR... In appearance it is terribly formidable, but in reality...

If only we could have the same guy to whom he recently went to pay his respects as Minister of Defense...

[Brother Geographer]

What is there to be happy about? Slaves die, gentlemen sit and rejoice

[Andrey Andreev_2]

How many of our boys died? Why do we need bravura victory marches and the destruction of thousands of yesterday’s brothers?? Where is the truth?

[Smoked]

Previously, it was customary to count as 1 to 3 in an offensive battle, in the case of our defensive line, IMHO, well, let’s say it would be 1 to 10.

Why do we need bravura victory marches and the destruction of thousands of yesterday’s brothers??

Then, why biathlons and parades of non-existent weapons...Brothers, you say? Are these not the ones who burned and killed Russian-speaking people with impunity? Brothers can also become enemies, as here:

Where is the truth?

And who needs this truth? Watch the film “1” on Sunday on the “Russia 22” program at 00:1993. Turning Point” and we can talk afterwards about what is true and what is “truth” and what film “The Hour of Scoundrels” was hidden who knows where by S. Govorukhin...
* * *

In the morning in the newspaper stall:
- Is there “truth”?
- There is no “Pravda”... “Russia” is sold. All that's left is "Trud" for 3 kopecks. And "Komsomolskaya Pravda" -
hanging around the corner.

[Ivan Ivanov]

I would like to understand our goals - standing/waiting for new wunderwaffes, which we will, of course, “click”?

[Thrifty]

Nevertheless, even these poorly trained soldiers completely delay our forward movement and cause us damage in manpower and equipment.

[ALARI]

Are they being detained? Do we ourselves want to move forward? And where to Kyiv, we were there, Sumy, Chernigov, too. It was not possible to even take Mariupol forcefully; it had to be almost completely demolished. How to take cities with a population of one million?

[FoBoss_VM]

Yes, no one is going to take them.. And no one is going to attack. And return Kherson too. I still keep photos of advertising banners from Kherson on my phone. Russia is here forever and Russians don’t abandon their own. The Russians may not give up, but the Moscow ones did

[ALARI]

This is all reminiscent of the wars of the 18th century, when two armies lined up against each other and shot themselves in linear battle. The winner was the one who stupidly put up more bullet and cannonball catchers. The degradation of military thought is obvious.

[Grits]

Quote: ALARI

The degradation of military thought is obvious.

There is a degradation of willpower and desire to win. And the most offensive thing is that such degradation is on our part. Since the enemy side does not shy away from any methods and techniques, it uses everything in its power.
They want to, but they can't. We can, but we don't want to

[Semyon Semyonov_2]

There is a usual prolongation of the conflict until the start of the presidential elections. Like horses at the crossing, etc.. Fear of not being in a chair, that’s the whole answer.

[FoBoss_VM]

The Generalissimo from the camp does not respect himself. If we sum up all the bravura statements of him and his Kornishonkov, then the Ukrainian Reich lost personnel equivalent to half the globe and equipment during the entire existence of the NATO bloc. Does anyone else really believe these individuals? Recently, two neighbors of Mobik came on vacation, one was injured. They told us a lot of very interesting things about what is happening there on the forehead. I don’t trust the Kremlin cronies anymore

[Yevgen Liubart]
