Butcher's Bill.

Mr. Ze continues to increase the intake of special substances and declared today that all Ukie Patriot PAC3 are fine and continue to shoot down Rooskie missiles in huge numbers, including yet another six Kinzhals. But while AD of 404 continues to shoot down all kinds of things, including UFOs and interstellar ships from Independence Day movie franchise, Russia MoD reports today:

Ukrainian military forces have sustained heavy casualties across the frontlines during the last 24 hours, the Russian Defense Ministry has said. Russia’s Zaporozhye and Donetsk regions have seen the most intense fighting, with Kiev losing more than 800 soldiers in those regions. “Over the past day, enemy losses in the Southern Donetsk and Zaporozhye directions amounted to more than 800 Ukrainian servicemen, 20 tanks, four infantry fighting vehicles, [and] 15 armored fighting vehicles,” the military stated on Sunday during a daily media briefing. The ministry did not elaborate on whether its figures for casualties includes those killed and injured or fatalities exclusively. As well as these setbacks in personnel and equipment, Ukrainian troops also lost two US-made M777 howitzers and several Soviet-made artillery systems, the military added.

In the same time, the aggregate for June is reflected here in Russian MoD SitRep:

It is 14,125 KIAs and if dynamics remains, by the end of this month Russian Armed Forces would have completely erased the force the size of field corps. This is supported by the desperate attempts of Kiev regime to conduct mobilization already in Western provinces, such as Ivano-Frankivsk--a hot bed of Ukie Nazis and Bandera worshipers. Well, desperate times--desperate measures. But those too will be annihilated. As Spiegel reports, many VSU Leopard-2 tank crews refuse to go into battle, while some are trying to sabotage tanks altogether. Totally expected. 

Just to demonstrate how all this influences the world outside increasingly insulated West. Here is Indonesian news service, with almost 7.4 million subscribers on YT alone. 

Reaction of Indonesians in the past year was openly and overwhelmingly supportive of Russia. And this is just ONE example out of many. The first rule for any military strategist is to recognize the NATURE of war--a task no people in Washington are up to. When even one of the greatest Russophobes and falsifiers, late Richard Pipes noted:

We have no general staff; we grant no higher degrees in “military science”; and, except for Admiral Mahan, we have produced no strategist of international repute. America has tended to rely on its insularity to protect it from aggressors, and on its unique industrial capacity to help crush its enemies once war was under way. The United States is accustomed to waging wars of its own choosing and on its own terms. It lacks an ingrained strategic tradition. In the words of one historian, Americans tend to view both military strategy and the armed forces as something to be “employed intermittently to destroy occasional and intermittent threats posed by hostile powers.”
