      Ukranian casualities are classified by the goverment, as well as the location of mobilized solder during his first 90 days of duty. That’s gives an possibility to the govement say literally any numbers of casualities.

      There are indirect pointers of heavy casualities: introduced military duty on women, introduced mobilisation of infected with tuberculosis (non-officially), hard to leave the country by men, catch civilian attempts to mobilize on streets etc.

      So you pasted a link that quotes an Ukrainian policitian about casualties, but then you don’t believe what Zelensky is saying?

      Correct, Zelensky is known to lie constantly and he needs to keep up the narrative that things are going well in order to maintain support at home and from simpletons in the west. The official was admitting realistic numbers that every western intelligence agency agrees on. The second link I gave you is from yesterday. US intelligence officials directly contradict the absurd claim form Zelensky you linked.

      Your opinion is uninformed and irrelevant. Sooner than later you will have to start adapting your views to the reality of the world.

          I’ve already answered your question in my previous comment. You can keep believing whatever you want to believe, there is no point trying to convince you that the sky is in fact blue and that water is wet. Enjoy wallowing in your delusions while you can.

              You claimed Ukraine is losing 200-300 troops per day according to US sources, quoting Ukraine from beginning of June

              This figure has been accepted by pretty much all western agencies. Nothing changed since June and now.

              I provide a link from today that reports Ukraine saying the amount is currently around 30 per day

              You provided a statement from Zelensky, who has a long track record of lying, claiming that Ukrainian casualties magically reduced by an order of magnitude.

              You say my sources are wrong and you trust what US sources say, quoting statistics from June.

              Not only that, but I even explained why your source is not trustworthy.

              Again, I don’t need to convince you of anything. Reality has a way of asserting itself regardless of what you manage to convince yourself of. You keep on enjoying living in your fantasy world while you can.

                  That’s not what I said at all. I trust all the western intelligence agencies and military experts who agree on the figure of hundreds of soldiers being killed in action every day. I wonder what mental gymnastics you’ll be performing a month from now.
