Bought moved the White House recently Estimated about thirty thousand Wagner Fighters have been injured or killed in The months-long battle some recent Intel Has shown casualty estimates of Russian Troops as high as almost a thousand per Day reported numbers lack credibility The Us and other Western officials Recently estimated that the number of Total casualties in the Ukrainian Conflict on the Russian site including Both the dead and the wounded was Approaching two hundred thousand Moscow Last September reported under 6 000 Deaths in the whole conflict Ukraine to Be honest is probably not very much Better either but they simply do not Have the population that Russia does Again it's a numbers game and Russia is Leveraging this to the fullest each wave Seen through its stack corpses along the City's North East and Southern border Steadily erodes at the Ukrainian Army's Personnel their ammunition and Equipment A Ukrainian Commander said the situation In Batman the city in eastern Ukraine is Critical and that there are more Russian Troops surrounding the city than there Is ammunition To Kill Them All bit by Bit and wave after wave the Russian army Has managed to close off all the bottom Boots but one Western Road the Ukrainian Military detonated Bridges and roads in The north and east to prevent the
Russian army and the Wagner group's Advance now the 16 square mile city that Once held a population of nearly 80 000 People is almost entirely reduced to Rubble from non-stop Russian shelling It's been referred to as a meat grinder Of the war and it has mainly become a Symbolic win for both Ukraine and Putin It's a sign of Ukrainian resistance it's A sign of Russia's ability to win a war That has dragged on nearly a year longer Than initially assess the battle ties up Russian forces and likely prevents them From launching a more prominent Offensive even as it drains Ukrainian Forces and really prevents him from Going on the offense but will either Side holding back move be anything of a Win in the overall conflict probably not The French city of Florida Dumont was Reduced to Rubble during World War one And it changed hands 16 times the Village was later declared to have died For France it was never rebuilt bachmuth Will likely follow that same followed Route when it all is said and done in 2014 the city was briefly held by Russian separatists it came under Intense Russian shelling starting in May Of last year and the bombardment hasn't Eased since then the city holds very Little strategic importance but Ukrainian president zielinski has Signaled in in recent speeches that
Ukrainian forces may be forced to Withdraw the Wagner group has claimed to Have practically surrounded the city for Today botmuth holds blocked by block as The Wagner group tries to push its way Into the city center now the Follow-bought mooth has been predicted For more than six months but still it Holds still cracks in Russian military Strength may be enlarging daily without A victory in possession of the city Igini pergozin the founder of Russia's Wagner mercenary group has recently Criticized and complained bitterly for Weeks about the regular Russian army and Kremlin leadership not recognizing not Respecting and supporting his Wagner's Group's contribution to the war effort In Black Moon recently his Representative was reportedly denied Access to Russia's military command Headquarters in Ukraine bragosan said in The video apparently filmed in a bunker If Wagner Retreats from botmuth now the Whole front will collapse the situation Will not be sweet for all military Formations protecting Russian interests Some speculate that burgosin's recent Comment events are an attempt not to be Scapegoated for a failure to secure a Win as he complains too about not being Supplied with the quantity of Munitions Needed to secure a victory the extent of Rift between the Wagner group and the
Regular Russian army it remains to be Seen it remains to be seen how long Botmuth will hold having given up and Effectively being banned from recruiting In prisons the Wagner group has recently Founded youth clubs in Saints peterborg Aimed at fostering patriotism and Preparing young Russians for military Service the human cost of the war to Russia appears to be much larger than The few thousand estimated by the Kremlin they may be starting to show a Real Manpower crisis that could manifest In low morale and an unwillingness to Fight or Surrender when Ukrainian forces Make a western armed supported offensive Strike what do you think will the flood Of Western supplies and arminence get to Ukrainian soldiers there to turn the Tide of this battle or will the city Fall in mere days let us know your Thoughts in the comments section below Russia support for Russia is arriving Via ship owned by a Russian Shipping Company the ship loaded with weapons of Military equipment in Syria and sailing With a Russian Navy escort slipped Quietly into the Black Sea in the dead Of night now the vessel is expected to Unload in a base that is still 200 plus Kilometers from Crimea but close enough That we may see these unknown weapons And Munitions on the battlefield in the Next couple of weeks turkey had
Previously closed two of their Straits To warships but that restriction did not Apply to warships returning to their Base in the Black Sea so while it limits Russian Supply efforts it doesn't Eliminate them all together reports Indicate that Russia is having Tremendous difficulties securing the Tech and materials it requires to keep Its War Machine moving foreign suppliers Of crucial aircraft are hesitant to Provide for Russia and Miss sanctions The Russian military is long relied on Foreign Source contracts and components To build its military equipment new Equipment is proving more challenging to Be sourced and Equipment already in use Requires continual maintenance and a Steady supply of replacement parts Though contracts are still being Inked As we reported last week with the India-russia T90 battle tank deal the Dills and parts are far more challenging To come by Under the current sanctions Russia has also reported selling India And North Korea portable anti-aircraft Missile systems I mentioned this India-russia battle tank deal again Because of its significance India claims This agreement is to offset Pakistan's 1996 purchase of 320 t80 UD tanks from Ukraine so the pieces of the current Ukraine Russia NATO conflict have been Moving around the geopolitical
Chessboard for probably 30 years or more The more you really research these Things the more you realize there has Been a slow build up of and to the Current conflict Russian needs tacit Support from India and China to Garner a Victory in Ukraine and remain a viable And unbroken force on the world stage The problem is that China and India have Long had a rising conflict of their Shared border and he has also had a Long-standing since the 1940s conflict On its western border with Pakistan Russian foreign ministers Sergey lavrov Recently stated that Russia wants Indian China to be friends Russia will do Anything and promise anything at this Point to keep the countries from Fighting China has recently closed Massive energy deals with Russia as Significantly reduced some beneficial Prices India's Russian oil imports also Hit a record high last month more than Iraq and Saudi Arabia combined India's Traditional suppliers now before the war Russia supplied less than one percent of India's oil now that number's up to over A third of the country's imported oil India does it pay in Rubles or dollars For discounted Russian crude but in Jiram the currency of the United Arab Emirates it's clear that there will be a Concerted Russian effort to build an Alliance between these three superpowers
India China and themselves India and China comprise 2.8 billion of the World's 8 billion people so their Support and friendship are critical to Whoever will emerge victorious in Ukraine now at the same time the Western NATO forces are eager to push back Against reports that they are weakening In the resolve German Chancellor Olaf Shorts are the onus for ending the war In Ukraine remains on Russian President Vladimir Putin he studied clearly that Germany would continue to support Ukraine with financial humanitarian aid But also the weapons he reiterated the Stance that no Talks Of Peace would Occur so long as Russian troops remain In Ukraine stating Putin has to which All troops this is the basis for talks Now at the same time German defense Contractor Ryan natal is negotiating to Build a tank Factory that could produce 400 Panther tanks per year in Ukraine Such a plant would be months from Breaking ground and a year or more from Actually rolling tanks out but it Underscores a level of support of NATO Countries for Ukraine now the UK has Pledged to provide Ukraine twice as many Challenger 2 tanks as initially Committed all of the dedicated equipment And Transit is a race against warmer Weather in the heating of the spring Conflict the Western Alliance continues
