Putin admits to ‘losses in our ranks’ in speech to Russian security officials
To Putin 60,000 dead is terrible sad even. 600,000 is a tragedy.
Understatement of the year.
‘Special’, ‘special’, ‘special’.
Pitiful Putin
joe burden
Worse then they are publicly admitting
Putin kills his own people!
Yeah, he has an estranged relationship with truth.
Being an arrogant is the fault the way he is
Well Russia seems to have have forgotten that somehow Vietnam(A nation with no heavy industry at the time.) got anti-aircraft guns out of thin air to win the battle against the US. Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Perhaps a bigger problem was logistics. USA fought thousand of Miles away – russia cant even beat a neighbouring country
Really genius stuff here. Whereas once America understood its best to keep Russia and China apart, now America thinks its best to encourage them to team up, only now with the backing of Africa and South America. Really smart country there!
What’s going on in Ukraine is so very sad.
I saw a video with Ukrainian troops briefing new replacements. Each person says stuff like “I’m the only person left alive in my company”, “only 18 survived from X company”, “only 6 from this ….” etc etc.
That’s why they call it “the meat grinder”.
It’s terrible mate. Russian artillery fire power like the world’s never seen before. In Iraq war 60,000 missiles fired over its duration.
Since Russia started plan B they are firing 60,000 a day!!! The Russian ambassador on the BBC yesterday was saying “For every one Russian soldier there are 12 Ukrainian losses”. Wasn’t denied by his pro Ukraine interviewer.
The Ukrainians have a depleted army and the Russians are twice their numbers
The German leader said the other day, “The Ukrainians are losing 1000 men a day!”.
In history the attacker loses 3-1 men. 1-12 on an attack against defended territory has never been heard of.
All these lovely young men dying for the puppet peado Zelenski- at the orders of the Western Oligarchs. Awful!
@Thomas Smith Does Putin pay the Propaganda Army well? Make sure you’re using all 597 of your alternate YouTube accounts to post Pro-Russian comments or no Vodka for you.
@mike edwards Can you post a link to that video or you forgot where it is?
He made a huge blunder. The Russian and Ukrainian people are paying dearly. He can stop this.
@Thomas Smith or the first cherchent war when russia lost, and had to launch a second war, wich they won mostly because Ahmad Kadyrov (Ramzan s Kadyrov father) betrayed his allies and his country?
@Enneite ill ab you’ve mentioned wars in which the Russians got thoroughly smacked by the nations they fought which isn’t the case in Ukraine where they’re succeeding. You’re also referring to a point in which the base of the populace was peasants. 75%+ approval rating in Russia for Putin. To claim that’s a false high would be to claim Russian propaganda doesn’t exist. The Tsar was universally despised by the elite and poor alike. But yes, it is roughly the same plot of land so you can compare that I guess lmao
@Thomas Smith succeeding? Like in loosing half the conquered territories the controlled at the peak of their invasion, or as in Bakhmut that they’ve been concentrating their effort to take it since last summer, but failed to do it till now?
Putin is trapped in sunken cost fallacy. Things will get worse before they get better
@Daniel Shu Yep. Instead, ‘Thomas Smith’ (really a Russian) will chicken out.
Save the “unfortunately” if you had stayed the he$& out of Ukraine you wouldn’t have losses…

His speech ‘Ukranians are dismantling us for trying to steal their land’
All those losses in one year yet he’s still going full speed ahead,he’s pure evil and condolences means nothing because he won’t end the war
All nation leaders are evil. If your a believer in the bible, the bible says the devil chooses nation leaders and uses them to his will without them even knowing, and when he’s done with them waste them, and he will find someone else to control, the bible asls says God uses war to punish man

@mike edwardsnice try. 🖕
@mike edwards Whatever you say COMRADE, take that to faux news comment section where they’ll appreciate your garbage
A person could have so much pride that they completely lose touch with reality.
In a war nobody really wins.
For over 15 years it’s been claimed that Vladimir Putin knows not how do to anything but install corruption and impose military aggression. US Senator John McCain described that “Vladimir Putin is a murderer and thug”. Truly, when citizens are silenced, dictators will like and kill to retrieve what they desire.
@mike edwards Hey dude, shut up
Sounds like wealthy Americans who have never seen a day of hardship in their lives and then self-righteously judge others. It’s sick.
@mike edwards maybe time to check your sources, mate. 60k a day? Are you trying to be taken serious, or what? 1-12? Where in the world did you get that number from?
Condolences to the families of Ukraine.
Condolences to ALL families who’s love died for this HORRIBLE War!
RuSSian TYRANTS sent
PEASANTS to Die Needlessly
Maybe the peasants should revolt, just as the Ukrainians resist.
Dear Russians….when the guy destroying families by sending members to die tries to act as if he cares about families you should be able to see through that
@Ha Mish Passive? I have been directly insulting by your bad ideas.
And this new one is wrong again…backing down to dictators is not a path to peace. It’s a green light for them to do more. If backing down worked then Ukraine giving up 2000+ nukes in the 90s would have made them the safest place in the world from Russia…it didn’t work though did it? And if they had nukes Russia would not be attacking right now. Your naive ideas of how to achieve peace via backing down won’t work either.
If they do that now, Russia will just wait until the west is distracted or moves in a more favorable direction politically so Russia can attack again.
Just so I don’t get accused of being passive-aggressive I want to clearly say you are either a Russian engaging in propaganda, a naive fool, or an idiot as nothing you say will bring peace.
@Awibrahor “Natural selection in action”, 🤣🤣🤣. That’s the first time I have heard that, lmao
@Oliver B He really doesn’t…I just don’t see how Russians don’t see that. Even the ones who fled Russia didn’t leave and start protests around the world against the war. Some were supporters of the war but just didn’t want to die for it!
@Jason A-R when ad hominem attacks enter an argument it shows a lack of substance. War brings war, peace talks end many conflicts. Regime change cannot end this conflict, the Russians have nukes.
Diplomacy is not always backing down, the Israeli pm got a couple of concessions out of Putin. Not to kill Zelenski and to allow Ukraine to have a military, major concessions.
The time for Ukraine to hold peace talks was after the thunder runs when they had the advantage. But they wouldn’t treat. It’s not actually in Russian interests to talk at the moment, it’ll stop their momentum.
The risk of escalation is real, if Russia is too successful NATO may put troops in the west of Ukraine as a buffer. Direct conflict could occur.
Peace talks are worth it, and many people around the world think so.
Many people are sick of this war.
Agreed, war brings war, but talking when you are being invaded brings more war, not peace.
I never mentioned regime change, that would be up to Russians but they can have their county and a nice iron curtain but they don’t join the world community until they are out of Ukraine and have paid reparations… which we know won’t happen under Putin.
Lmao, you think concessions are, ‘not to kill a president of another county’ or “allow” them to have a military?
Sorry that people in the world are tired of the war but guess who else is tired of it…Ukranians. And like those from Poland, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, and Moldova know there is not end to this by backing down.
Russia will not stop and life does not matter to Putin so peace will come when he feels he can’t win or he will lose power back home. Russians, minus a few, are too cowardly to stand up to him so Ukraine will need to drive him out AND then join NATO for them to ever be able to live in peace.
Talks will not end this, backing down will not end this and fear of nukes will not make it less likely that they will be used.
Russia needs to be driven out and I am in support of a NATO peacekeeping force in western Ukraine. Time to flip this around and put Russia in a spot where they need to decide of they want to fire on NATO troops.
If you are not Russian, what country are you from? You strike me as a coward and the type that would not fight to defend their home or family or freedom.
What a needless loss of life, on both sides. Will we never learn?
Unfortunately human nature has an unexplained fondness to be ruled for “charismatic” leaders, then turned autocrat/dictators, what Putin is doing to Russia and Ukraine could’ve only been avoided a decade ago when he took control of the media, the army, and the opposition. This could only end when the Russians take back their government.
The Russians will learn from their total defeat. It’s the only way Nazis ever learn anything.
“2022 was a special year”
I have a suspicion 2023 will be even more special for the ruskies
He’s “sorry” yet he’s not doing anything about it. He could save both Russian and Ukrainian lives, but he refuses to have a draw or loss. Instead he keeps sending more soldiers to the meat grinder. Toying with people lives as if they meant nothing.
Exactly what Zelenski is doing.
@Ha Mish Spare us your bs, you Russian bot.
@Awibrahor your the bot. Push for peace or get over there.
He’s admitted that so he can justify his next move!!!

Agreed, we must continue to pray for the people of Donbass who have been getting shelled since 2014.
Very true! That’s exactly what China, India and South Africa have done! Tut tut!
Russian people don’t want money for their sacrifices. They want their loved ones to stay home.
In under 20 seconds, Putin uses the term ‘special’ three times. Each time, he actually means ‘disastrous’. Very special indeed.
