Why Western media claims its lies are the truth
Yanno, I just heard a Ukrainian claim on Military Summary Channel that Ukraine destroyed 57 .... 57! ... Russian armored vehicles in one operation!
a) As if Russia would commit 57 armored vehicles for a small operation near Avdiivka and
b) There is no evidence for this claim
Kiev lies as easily as breathing, and so does western media. I just bin that along with all of Kiev's other lies. And yours.

Russian President Vladimir Putin restated boilerplate rhetoric threatening military escalation with the West, likely in an attempt to deter Western support for Ukraine. Putin claimed during an interview on Russian state television on October 15 that a “hot” conflict between the West and Russia would be a “completely different war” and not limited to the framework of the “special military operation.”[77]
Russian President Vladimir Putin may be trying to temper expectations of significant Russian advances around Avdiivka in Donetsk Oblast. Putin claimed in an interview on Russian state television on October 15 that Russian forces are conducting an “active defense” in the Avdiivka, Kupyansk, and Zaporizhia directions.[1] Putin’s characterization of Russian offensive operations near Avdiivka as an “active defense,” instead of “active combat operations” as Russian UN Ambassador Vasily Nebenzya claimed on October 13, or discussing Russian operations as an “offensive” as some milbloggers have, may be an attempt to temper expectations of significant Russian advances.[2]
The Russian information space writ large is also metering its initial optimism about the prospects of Russian offensive operations around Avdiivka. Russian milbloggers initially reported maximalist and unverifiable claims of Russian advances over 10km, likely exaggerated the degree of Russian successes near Avdiivka during initial offensive operations, and expressed optimism for rapid Russian advances.[5] Some Russian milbloggers have since acknowledged difficulties in the Russian advance near Avdiivka and noted that Russian forces decreased their pace of offensive operations around the settlement.[6]
Russian forces continued offensive operations aimed at encircling Avdiivka on October 15 but have yet to make further gains amid a likely decreasing tempo of Russian operations in the area. The Ukrainian General Staff reported that Ukrainian forces repelled more than 15 Russian assaults near Avdiivka, as well as northwest and southwest of the settlement.[10] ISW has not yet observed visual confirmation of previous claims of Russian advances in the area or geolocated footage of any other Russian gains. Russian sources claimed notably fewer Russian advances in the area on October 15 compared to previous days and described these new alleged advances as marginal.[11]
Russian forces will likely continue offensive operations at this decreased tempo in the near term, however, and will remain a threat to Ukrainian forces in the area despite being unlikely to achieve a decisive breakthrough or encircle Avdiivka at this time.
Another Russian milblogger, who said on October 14 that he concurred with the “agreement” to stop any commentary about Russian operations in Avdiivka, complained a few hours later that Russian forces, in general, are experiencing ammunition shortages and continued issues combating Ukrainian drones.[20]

Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed Ukraine’s losses are eight times higher than those of Russia during an interview with Chinese media, stating that Kyiv’s counteroffensive has been unsuccessful.
“Since June 4, it [Ukraine’s counteroffensive began] has been continuing. So far there are no results, there are only huge losses,” for Ukraine, Putin said in an interview with the China Media Group this weekend, according to comments published by Russian news agency Tass.
“The losses are simply huge — approximately one to eight as a ratio,” Putin said.
CNBC was unable to verify the claims and Ukraine has not commented, although it’s generally understood that both Russia and Ukraine exaggerate the losses they claim to have inflicted upon each other and death toll figures tend to be very inaccurate during times of war.

Russia tallies Ukrainian losses from Ukrainian radio intercepts. It doesn't include death due to distant missile strikes, or death that occurs later in hospital.
Instead of swallowing the crap that western press spews, I've been following details from various pro-Ukrainian and pro-Russian sources (I've already cited them) and that ratio is correct.
For example, adding up Ukrainian loses from Military Summary Channel comes out to about 700-1000/ day even as Ukraine has gone on the "defensive".
The BBC and Meduza last estimated Russian deaths at 50,000. Using the 8:1 ratio, that means Ukraine has suffered 400,000 dead. That calculation matches the tally so far.
FWIW Kiev has announced a total mobilization. And there is a rumor that Ukraine is going to launch one more offensive. Supposedly an amphibious attack across the Dneiper carried out by four elite brigades(?) if Marines.
Good luck on that!

Quote:It is a battle between Dumb vs Dumber and I am not sure if Ukraine is Dumb or Dumber. The stupidest thing Ukraine did, noting that this is day 600, is not permanently stopping all traffic on the Crimean Bridge. Ukraine has made 3 attempts, so far, but Ukraine should have had a plan many years ago and bought/built/borrowed whatever weapons they needed to knock that bridge. Unfortunately, the designing, engineering, and necessary building have not yet been done because somebody on the Ukrainian side is seriously stupid, cowardly, and/or lazy. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin hinted that the Ukrainians aren't listening when told they really should fix their strategy or else lose. Austin uses the euphemism that the Ukrainians are "learning". Yeah. Sure. They are incredibly . . . slow learners.
