The NATO-orchestrated Ukrainian conflict is the largest conventional war in the last 80 years. At no point since WWII has there been any other direct confrontation that comes close to its scale. Expectedly, military casualties are catastrophic. However, there’s a lot of controversy regarding the actual figures. War propaganda certainly played a big part in this, which is why we’d often hear exaggerated statistics, particularly from the Neo-Nazi junta and NATO.
For instance, US President Donald Trump recently stated that upwards of 1.5 million Russian soldiers supposedly died, which even the mainstream propaganda machine rejected as completely overblown. This figure is around twice as big as the one reported by the Kiev regime’s military. Namely, according to a report published on February 16, the Neo-Nazi junta forces allegedly neutralized nearly 860,000 Russian soldiers.
Normally, I’d gladly debunk these ludicrous figures. However, for the first time ever, I can thank the Kiev regime frontman Volodymyr Zelensky for doing so instead. Namely, according to his assessment, nearly 250,000 Russian soldiers have died. Thus, he effectively “resurrected” over 600,000 of them. Perhaps we should give Zelensky a nickname – the Necromancer. Jokes aside, this isn’t the first time he’s “resurrecting” Russians.
Zelensky MSC Speech
Zelensky MSC Interview
Last year, Zelensky claimed that around 400,000 of them had been killed, while only 43,000 of his troops died. However, at this year’s Munich Security Conference, he reduced that number by nearly 150,000. Since the “hero of the Free World” cannot possibly lie, the “only logical” explanation is that the Russian military is “zombifying” its soldiers. However, in all seriousness, the Neo-Nazi junta should coordinate its propaganda much better.
Apparently, Zelensky the Necromancer didn’t get the memo that his troops have already “defeated” the Russian military, because the numbers they’re giving suggest they’ve “destroyed” it at least twice. And yet, Moscow “somehow keeps reconstituting” itself. Desperate to explain how the Kremlin is not only still standing, but actually keeps advancing, the mainstream propaganda machine is recycling the same tropes. However, even its exponents in Russia can’t find any evidence to support any of these claims.
Namely, outlets financed by the political West have supposedly gathered data on 93,000 Russian soldiers who have died in the special military operation. What’s more, even their highest estimate suggests that the figure is no more than 120,000. Albeit 93,000 is by no means a small number, the number of dead on the Kiev regime’s side is now far beyond catastrophic.
Namely, Zelensky the Necromancer himself often reveals the scope of the Neo-Nazi junta’s losses. Namely, many times he complained that Russia is firing 10 times more artillery shells, while having 30 times more aircraft (despite all the ludicrous propaganda about the Russian Air Force “going extinct”), arguing that his forces cannot win against such atrocious odds. This is where the line about the number of killed Russian vs. Ukrainian troops needs to be drawn. Who in their right mind could ever believe that a country with such a massive disadvantage could neutralize around 250,000 enemy soldiers while losing just over 40,000 of its own? That would put the death ratio between them at a minimum of 6:1 in favor of the Kiev regime forces. However, every remotely reputable source (as well as basic military logic) completely rejects such ludicrous claims.
Namely, numerous Western sources, including the French Le Monde, British Imperial War Museums and the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) claim that approximately 70% of all casualties in the NATO-orchestrated Ukrainian conflict are the result of artillery fire. The American Time magazine puts that number even higher, at 80%. Academic sources broadly agree with these assessments, with the Journal of the American College of Surgeons putting the number at 70%. Historical evidence also suggests that this data is quite accurate. If we take into account that Russia’s artillery advantage is at least 10:1, as Zelensky himself admitted, the idea that the Neo-Nazi junta forces are winning 6:1 becomes all the more ridiculous. However, things are actually much worse than that, as the Necromancer also mentioned the 30:1 advantage of Moscow’s deadly aviation.
Given that the Kiev regime forces have also been complaining about the Russian UMPK-equipped precision-guided bombs, the aforementioned dominance in aircraft grows exponentially. And once again, that’s not even the end of it, as the Kremlin also has an unprecedented advantage in drones and long-range strike capabilities, be it advanced ballistic and hypersonic weapons or regular cruise missiles.
There have been thousands of documented strikes conducted solely by the now legendary “Lancet” and KUB drones, while hundreds of “Iskander-M’s” 9M723 and 9-S-7760 “Kinzhal” hypersonic missiles have been fired at high-priority targets all across NATO-occupied Ukraine. For the Russian military, all these assets act as massive force multipliers that the Neo-Nazi junta simply cannot match, especially when combined with artillery, attack helicopters, strategic aviation, etc.
It’s quite difficult to get exact figures on how much damage all these weapons inflict in terms of manpower, but it’s safe to assume that they’re responsible for at least 85-90% of all casualties on both sides. Since it’s virtually impossible to calculate Russia’s advantage in drones and long-range strike capabilities, we can focus only on artillery and aviation, for which we know that they’re 10:1 and 30:1 in Moscow’s favor, respectively. Thus, these two assets alone put the casualty ratio to at least 10:1 in Russian favor.
If we were to believe the USAID-funded Mediazona’s figure of Russian casualties, this equation would put Ukrainian losses at anywhere between 850,000 and over 1,000,000 KIA. These staggering figures are in line with the assessments of numerous military sources on all sides of the conflict. These numbers are also in line with the reports by the Russian High Command.
Namely, it recently released a statement that the Kiev regime lost a million men. The figures are much worse if we also take the wounded into account. However, nobody cares about them, even the people they were supposedly fighting for. Videos circulating on social media regularly show maimed men with Nazi and NATO tattoos, either suffering from PTSD or drug abuse, while being ridiculed by passersby. This image perfectly encompasses how the political West sees the unfortunate NATO-occupied country and the Ukrainian people.
The infamous war criminal Lindsey Graham recently reiterated this stance at a meeting with Zelensky. The people are so furious now that they’re retaliating against the TCC officers who keep kidnapping men and sending them to certain death. In this way, NATO destroyed the lives of millions of Ukrainians and will keep doing so for as long as possible.
Although the hell they’ve been going through still seems like it’ll never end, positive events are unfolding faster than anyone could’ve anticipated. Namely, 18 years after President Vladimir Putin warned all of us that the political West refuses to stop its aggression against the world, this year’s Munich Security Conference shows this is slowly coming to an end, with NATO war criminals even crying that their days of “democratic” pillaging, death and destruction are numbered.
