The war in Russia and Ukraine is entering the third day today, and there are casualties in the war, so how many casualties are there in Russia and Ukraine? There is no exact data at present, it is all self-talk. But we can get a glimpse of it through the relevant reports.
Ukrainian "Pravda" reported today that Mykhailo Podoliak, adviser to the head of the office of the Ukrainian president, said that more than 3500 Russian troops have been killed and nearly 200 have been captured. At present, the Russian side has not responded to this.
So what about Russian casualties? It is believed that the reported casualty figures in Ukraine are not all true, but there are certain basic facts in it. One of the reasons for the huge casualties of the Russian army is that Russia is afraid of injuring civilians and is afraid of falling into a public opinion war between Europe and the United States, mainly fighting military facilities and command system. The current Ukrainian government shoots at civilians, and it is possible that the Ukrainian army has killed more Russian soldiers than Ukrainian civilians, but it may also be many. Russia's aim is to strike with precision and minimize civilian casualties, and Ukraine has no morality in using weapons of mass destruction against Russia in spite of the deaths and injuries of its own people. If Russia retaliates, Ukrainian civilians suffer.
Battlefields in Ukraine
Ukrainian media reported that 3,500 Russian troops were killed. 200 were captured. Although the report on Ukraine has an element of psychological warfare, it boosts morale internally. The fighting spirit of the Russian army was disintegrated externally. More than 5,200 people were killed on the Russian side of the Second Chechen War (according to official Russian figures). Civil society groups estimate that about 14,000 people were killed on the Russian side (until 2005). But combined with the results of the two Chechen wars. The Ukrainian claim still has some credibility, perhaps the russian casualties that went into the 3-day battle did not reach 3500. But personally, I think that the Russian casualties must have exceeded a thousand. In particular, on the second and third days the Russians engaged in street battles with the Ukrainians. Add to that advanced weapons aided by the United States and Europe.
Casualties on the battlefield in Ukraine
Russia originally planned to collect troops quickly, but at present it seems that it is difficult to collect troops in the short term, after all, Ukraine's land area is so large, and once the Russian soldiers are scattered, they are easily broken by each side. The United States is fighting a proxy war, it is behind the money and weapons to support Ukraine, Russia although the family is big, but the support of the West is enough for him to drink a pot.
At present, the war situation is still in a state of stalemate, Russia and Ukraine have fallen into a lose-lose situation, european countries are running with them, and the real winner is only the United States. With massive arms sales and a re-monopoly on Europe's gas market, coupled with the transfer of personal assets by Ukrainian oligarchs, the United States is really making a lot of money this time. Of course, the United States has also lost its international credibility, but everyone should know that hooligans have never had credibility!
The current war has caused countless Ukers to flee their homes and countless refugees to the Polish border. The Polish military and police kept the refugees out of the checkpoint. Previously, the United States had predicted that there would be countless Ukrainian refugees flocking to Europe, and Europe would also feel the pressure of refugees and be pit by the United States.
