    Russia’s successes, meanwhile, came at a staggering human cost. The Kremlin’s casualties were “three times” higher than Ukraine’s, and “even more” in certain directions, Syrskyi said.

    That’s pretty good. If they reach 1:4 Russia is actually taking more attrition than them, even in raw population terms.

    He said Kyiv had a plan to get back Crimea, more than a decade after Vladimir Putin illegally annexed it. Was this really feasible? “It’s realistic. Of course, it’s a big military secret,” the general said.

    I can’t wait, with this kind of teasing I’m expecting a modern Operation Overlord.

    Since 2022 the number of Russian tanks has “doubled” – from 1,700 to 3,500. Artillery systems have tripled, and armoured personnel carriers gone up from 4,500 to 8,900.

    That explains why Russian storage is empyting up so quickly. At least partly. After all we know Russian losses are massive.
