One group that had sent him a video during the summer was almost entirely wiped out, leaving only one member alive. The filmmaker observed that 85% of the fighters in this brigade were either killed or seriously injured, highlighting the devastating impact of the conflict on both sides.
In Kupyansk, soldiers are engaged in gruelling three-day rotations as they fight in the forest amidst bunkers that offer minimal protection against Russian artillery barrages. Many soldiers have suffered from frostbite due to the harsh winter conditions, with most of them being either over 40 or in their late teens.
The filmmaker then inserts propaganda about “meat wave” assaults, which allegedly involved an overwhelming number of Russian troops. This is puzzling given Ukraine’s manpower advantage throughout the war.

Lmao
We approach a bridge that’s been blown up to prevent Russian advances, with a temporary pontoon bridge built to help cross the frozen river.
Ah fuck guys we actually needed that bridge.
Wait, if the river is frozen, why the pontoon bridge? I understand that the climate in Ukraine is significantly warmer than in my locale, but it’s been consistently warm here, but the ice is still a meter thick out in the countryside. Do they need the bridge to help nato vehicles cross, because those things are too fuckin heavy? Or do I just not understand logistics?
Maybe for safety in case the ice breaks from artillery or wear? Way colder than my day to day experience so idk.
Good point, thanks!
I feel like I’d rather try crossing a quickly made bridge with armored vehicles than cross the ice but I have never experienced that kind of freezing tbh. Probably saves time from constantly having to check the thickness of the ice.

“Wow, if this is how badly the heroic ubermensch Ukrainians are doing, the Russians must be suffering 160% causalities, and if Ukraine is fielding 40 year olds and teenagers, that must mean the evil Russians are fielding 80 year olds and literal babies! Russia is finished!”
but Russian “meat wave” assaults (sustained attacks undertaken with little regard for the death toll), and the sheer numbers of troops Vladimir Putin is willing to sacrifice, make fighting a terrifying prospect.
The same shit, forever and ever and ever and ever an
They can’t outright admit defeat. Not when their own leaders are banging the war drum this heavily. Otherwise no one would join them to fight.

I don’t think one side getting smashed ‘highlights devastating impact on both sides’ :-) He’s oc already completely propagandized like the rest of the western liberals/rightwingers and even anarchists/lefties (who would have thunk ??).
There are at least 5 big documentaries/series of the long civil war between Ukrainians where the Nato Ukrainians bombed/killed the east Ukrainians for years and years. I wonder if he or any of his propagandized western friends/colleges have watched any of these documentaries ?? Even after western censorship/cleaning, they are possible to find, and I think I have most of them linked in this playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6-hcqTF_eSc6PIdk3QIwtoxtTK1wr30y

Meat wave assaults is what I’m now gonna call the feeling my brain has every time I read one of these delusional articles as they make it feel like the sheer numbers of my neurons these dipshits are willing to murder through sustained attacks undertaken with little regard for my mental health.
