Ukraine War Casualties Near Half a Million, U.S. Officials Say - The ...
Aug 18, 2023U.S. officials said Ukraine had suffered close to 70,000 killed and 100,000 to 120,000

Adding up 70,000 plus 120,000 comes up a LOT short of a 'half a million'. 'Somebody' LIED.

On the other hand, Russia's casualties are estimated to be 400,000. From early in the war Ukraine was blowing apart Russian tanks, Russian fuel trucks, Russian troop transports. HIMARS missile systems were used to very good effect to kill Russian troop concentrations and supply depots.

Between 2014 and 2022 NATO spent quite a bit of time training the Ukrainian Army. Trump sent Ukraine Javelin anti-tank missiles. Ukraine is also said to have excellent battlefield medical care, Russia - not so much.

Russia is sending poorly trained troops into Ukraine to get slaughtered. Ukraine has a LOT of combat veterans now - both well trained before the war and now well trained and experienced.

Russia is also said to be not meeting their recruiting goals.
