Probably the first actually good news that came from Davos this year.

Well done, Ukraine. Keep up the good fight.
And as the US is largely absent, Europe needs to step up more to help Ukraine.
It’s time for a no-fly zone and boots on the ground, already.

He’s the head of the faction that is most interested in sharing overestimated loss numbers. Just like Russia is most interested in sharing the lowest numbers. He could be telling the truth. He could be the one knowing it best. But it isn’t wise to base your judgement on his information given his role in this war.

He is mixing up “killed” and losses”, that kind of unprecise speak is something a lot of politicans do. So we should not assume that he really meant 35k *killed*, which then would imply another (larger) number of survived permanent losses on top. The Ukrainian general staff numbers give losses as in killed plus severely wounded like limbs lost etc. (i.e. small wounds, illnesses etc. that are temporary are on top and also curb the combat power, but are of no concern for the attritional war in the long term), so we can assume he meant that. That is a more reasonable number to work with, because either dead or no legs both means the soldier cannot attack anymore and has to be replaced.
So, let’s not assume he really meant 35k dead and then another 50k or so wounded on top, because that would mean Ukraine already has overfulfilled their goals for 2026, and the Russian army would bleed away fast. Gen Syrskyi was probably a bit more precise, when he spoke about now starting to shrink the RU army size.
Also, I actually can’t follow what he means by “biggest RU losses ever”, because the loss rate in late 2024 was higher. This is the number of soldier losses that the UA general staff gives out every morning, you now, the brown table of numbers that is posted here daily as well, I made it a habit to copy those numbers into a spreadsheet daily. Loss rate is obviously the steepness of the curve: https://s1.directupload.eu/images/260123/5t9p35mr.png

He’s absolutely right of course. It’s really unfortunate that far too many of the current generation of EU politicians are a soft lot, more concerned with themselves than anything else. Our leaders used to be stronger.

Imagine beeing a drone operator killing all this people.
Must put on some weight on the shoulders..

Russia will never recover from this one.

It’s a good start – maybe they’ll run out of willing idiots one day. (And the unwilling are willing to do something about it and putler).
