    Russian Invasion of Ukraine 2022

    On the note of equipment, after the Kharkov offensive there were reports that Ukraine had expended up to 40% of its stocks, which likely explains the recent aggressive push to get their Western allies to send tanks and other AFVs to them: So far, they've only managed to get hold of some...

    Russian Invasion of Ukraine 2022

    As it was, however, you need to learn to read the article before trying to argue with it: Up to 1,000 Ukrainian soldiers are being killed or wounded each day in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine, with 200 to 500 killed on average and many more wounded, a top Ukrainian official said on...
