Spokesperson for the Ukrainian Volunteer Army, Serhiy Bratchuk, noted that despite massive daily losses, Russian infantry continues to outnumber Ukrainian forces.
He stated this during a broadcast on the Espreso TV channel.
“Russian and North Korean soldiers are dying and continue to die. The resource is running out, although, of course, we would like this to happen faster. We observe enormous Russian losses and see that they are no longer able to replenish their ranks as quickly as they did before,” Bratchuk pointed out.
According to the spokesperson of the Ukrainian Volunteer Army, the enemy’s daily losses now exceed 1,500 people, and fewer new soldiers are arriving. It now resembles an industrial conveyor belt for the destruction of Russian invaders.
“Objective analysis today shows this picture. I hope the enemy’s infantry resources will gradually decrease. Mobilization is not officially declared in Russia; it continues in a covert form. Unfortunately, the enemy still has a sufficient number of infantry, and it outnumbers ours,” Bratchuk stressed.
The spokesperson also added that amid losses, the enemy is becoming more economical with military equipment. The Russian defense industry is unable to repair tanks quickly, let alone produce new ones. Russia essentially lacks a complete tank production cycle. Despite this, the available combat vehicles continue to be used on the front lines.
“However, Russia’s economic and human resources are not limitless, and this will increasingly be felt on the battlefield,” Bratchuk concluded.
- Over the past 24 hours, the Ukrainian defense forces eliminated 1,430 Russian military personnel, along with several units of enemy equipment and weaponry.

Word is bound to get back to the sheep, that even a 4 million ruble signing on fee is not worth it, because you’ll never collect it.
Obviously, word is getting around, otherwise the sheep would be standing in long lines to sign up.
Interesting read, in my opinion, from CEPA.

Russians Too See Putin’s Weaknesses
The fall of Bashar Assad was an unexpected defeat for the Kremlin — will Russia’s despot face the same fate?
Retired Russian Col Gen Leonid Ivashov, for example, has long regarded Putin’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine as a serious blunder that would harm Russia inside and out. Domestically, the general predicted, it would weaken the economy and aggravate the demographic crisis; outside, he warned, it would lose friends for Russia and risk war with NATO. As a Cassandra, he has few equals.
Blaming Putin for risking “the final destruction of Russian statehood and the extermination of the indigenous population of the country,” Ivashov warned the real danger for Russia was not NATO or the West, but “the unviability of the state model, the complete incapacity and lack of professionalism of the system of power and administration, the passivity and disorganization of society.” Under these conditions “no country survives for long,” he wrote.
Despite the Kremlin’s harsh repression of dissent, Ivashov has continued to post criticism of the invasion, and in December gave a long monologue on UA RUS Online warning that Putin and his Kremlin inner circle could soon suffer the fate of Assad’s regime.
A country that believes progress is erecting new monuments to Stalin has no future whatsoever.
I agree, Slimpan, it is imnteresting.
“Ivashov warned the real danger for Russia was not NATO or the West, but “the unviability of the state model, the complete incapacity and lack of professionalism of the system of power and administration, the passivity and disorganization of society.”
A key paragraph that describes mafia land very well. That’s why I call it mafia land.
