The current war between Russia and Ukraine came as a surprise to the world after the Russian president identified as Vladimir Putin announced that he has decided to invade Ukraine.
Ukraine being a smaller country compared to Russia has reported that 4,300 Russian troops have been killed since the invasion began on February 27th.
There are similar reports by the Ukrainian Defence minister that more than 146 Russian armored vehicles have been destroyed by the Ukrainian forces amongst others.
With all these victories reported against Russia, there are little or no details concerning the impact of the war on the Ukrainians, especially regarding their losses to the Russian military.
Are the Russians fighting a lost cause, or are they reluctantly refusing to release details concerning the loss encountered by the Ukrainian military amid the war raging in Ukraine?
How many armored vehicles, planes, troops, and equipment have the Ukrainian military lost to the Russian military amid the invasion of Ukraine?
These are some of the unanswered questions associated with the ongoing war in Ukraine.
First, read what the western media reported of the war progress and then go further down to give your take.
What western media reported
From Kyiv, Ukrainian capital, TIMES NOW reported two days ago that, “As Russia continues with its bid to invade Ukraine, the Kyiv on Sunday claimed that the Russian forces have suffered heavy casualties since Moscow launched its offensive against the neighbouring country.
“Russian forces have lost about 4,300 servicemen during their invasion of Ukraine, deputy defence minister Hanna Malyar said on Sunday, adding however that the number was being clarified.
“Taking to Facebook, the Ukrainian minister further stated that Russian troops lost about 146 tanks, 27 aircraft and 26 helicopters since the start of the invasion.
“Russian President Vladimir Putin had on Monday recognised Ukraine’s breakaway regions – Donetsk and Luhansk – as independent entities. Later, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
“Russia has been facing immense criticism, especially from the western countries over the recent actions. A number of countries including the US, UK and Germany have applied fresh rounds of sanctions on Russia.
“Earlier today, Kremlin said Russia is ready to hold talks with Ukraine in Belarus even as the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has been insisting on a venue in a country not taking part in military operations against his country,” TIMES NOW reported.
“In line with the agreement, the Russian delegation consisting of representatives of the Foreign Ministry, the Defense Ministry and other agencies, including the presidential administration, has arrived in Belarus for talks with the Ukrainians,” Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Sunday as quoted by TASS.
Reacting to the development, the Ukrainian President in a video address released on his Telegram channel that he is ready for talks with Russia in any other country but Belarus, citing the involvement of Belarus with Russia in the ongoing conflict.
“At the moment, we’re saying no to Minsk. Other cities can be a place to meet. Of course, we want peace, we want to meet, we want for the war to end. Warsaw, Bratislava, Budapest, Istanbul, Baku, we have suggested all that to Russia. And any other city will do… in a country, from whose territory the rockets are not flying. This is the only way that the talks can be honest and can really put an end to the war,” Zelenskyy said.
Just as said above, with all these victories reported against Russia, there are little or no details concerning the impact of the war on the Ukrainians, especially regarding their losses to the Russian military.
Are the Russians fighting a lost cause, or are they reluctantly refusing to release details concerning the loss encountered by the Ukrainian military amid the war raging in Ukraine?
How many armored vehicles, planes, troops, and equipment have the Ukrainian military lost to the Russian military amid the invasion of Ukraine?

2. Stop being fooled to believe in the West media propaganda because that’s what they are known for over the years.
3. We can now see the hypocrisy, the Ukrainians are using immortal robots, this is the reason this war in the first place. let’s balance this power play and let everyone’s demand be considered and we said know, war happening in your own land and u are pretending not to loss anything, anyway it’s for the advantage of the Russians.
