2 days ago, Jake Bro posted on his blog that casualties are over 450,000 for the Russian army. He has been reporting from day 1 and updates these figures every blog.

Feel bad for Ukrainians, what a shame,tragedy that they dont have the tools to proper defend their country against the brutal agression by Russia..hope and pray that Ukraine will get much needed aid in near future🙏🙏🙏🇺🇦👍

There are thousands of bodies left to rot so they can post them as missing in action and do not have to pay the relatives. Also there are many videos saying "we are the only ones left " of platoons,with 10 to 15 from 150 men .

My girl Kate. Wait all week to hear her interview. Best in the business.

This is the first interview I have found with Kateryna Stepanenko, PLEASE GET HERBACK ASAP for honest and succinct information!!!

Ruzz has been busy clearing out its jails. The quality of such soldiers is inevitably low and attrition high. However, sheer numbers enable gains to be made. At the same time the country is reducing the cost of prison upkeep. Reportedly a number of jails have already been able to be closed.

I am surprised that the Russian people are not out protesting about the loss of their children

It's not only the losses that are staggering, it is also the total disregard of them from the Russian mafia.

Well, that numbers aren't obviously catastrophic enough...

What is always a good interview is when we tune in to TIMES RADIO, and Kate's interview with Kateryna Stepanenko is a prime example. The terrible thing that strikes me right in the heart when I think of the Russian soldiers, and I am not forgetting how terrible Russian soliders have been towards Ukrainian civilians, but the thing that makes my blood boil so-to-speak is how Russian military officers and right up to the boss in the Kremlin have had such a disregard for human life. No one can imagine what it must be like for a Russian mother or father to recieve a dreaded telegram from the Defense Department about the loss of their son. Moreover; the thing that is incredible is how careless the people in charge of the military are in protecting the lives of ordinary soldiers. There are no words to describe knowingly sending in poorly trained and equipped soldiers to the front lines...

Russia doesn’t count what they lost, they count how many there are still left.

'I remember all the victories, as they got closer'-German soldier 1945🤣

In Moscow everything just carries on… no one is interested. That’s how it is.

usa set to approve the 60 billion defence bill that will also free up the seized russian funds 300 billion , add that to the 100 billion from nato countries , ukraine is about to get the support along with israel and taiwan,

Kate is my favorite interviewer. SHe does an amazing job.

Thankyou Kate & Kateryna for your topical reporting ! Regards from AUS

They have lots more than 50k there is no way it’s not in the 100ks

There are towns in eastern Russia where no more men of fighting age exist only women children and old folks are left.

Let's see how many russian internet trolls will show themselves in the comment section today and how hard they'll cope with the losses russia has had!

ISW is well informed,they are very good at their job,they been spot on during this war,they know what they doing and i trust them 100%..no bs,lies

The losses are large, not unlike WWII battlefields except for the large scale frontline battles.

Brilliant analysis by Mrs Stapanenko. Very intelligent threads, and excellent flow with Kate. Must see!

Informative. Believable. No sensationalizing just factual. Refreshing vs.those accounts where you doubt the truthfulness of what your being told. Bottom line is Russia is in a real fight with a determined Ukraine. Ukraine needs significant aid to continue its fight for freedom.

and another main reason why Ukrainians have a bit fewer deaths, is that the Ukrainians have excellent battlefield medical, with ample medical supplies from the NATO nations and allies. Plus they get excellent battlefield medical and evac to local and NATO hospitals. Also NATO doctors hep out too. And the Ukrainians do not shoot their own wounded. There are instances where Ukrainians are forced to leave their wounded but its much less frequent compared to their Russian counterparts, The Ukrainians value their own soldiers much more than the Russians. Also Ukrainians tactics are not wasteful of their manpower, Ukrainians do not engage in Meatgrinder tactics, and make sure the Russians pay a lot of blood for ever meter of Ukrainian land they advance on.

Kateryna is a beauty.. a pleasure to listen to her lucid report

Excellent interview. Excellent insights.

Kate is finally back! I was afraid she was gone. I missed her pleasant face, which made the hard news a bit easier to take. And her interview skills are excellent. Welcome back Kate!

With the loss of that latest bomber, all the planes before that, the helicopters, tanks, afvs, the expended missiles, the lost & injured men, the flagship and other ships -- plus the gas pipes to nowhere, the sanctions, all the good Russians and investment leaving... I'd say this adventure is officially a big "L" now for Russia, no matter how things go from here on out.

The American Sec. Def. has stated that Russia has lost more than 300,000 troops either to death or injury that left them unable to fight again.

❤Ukrainian ❤

I´d like to know how much the Japanese support has progressed. It was going through the media space that Japan plans to support Ukraine more strongly.

The fact the Orcs are having to conduct attacks with golf carts and unarmored trucks says it all. The Orcs went for broke while UKR was lacking aid and still failed to break through UKR lines. And now the Orcs have wasted their material for no real gains.

The term used to describe Soviet tactics during the second world war is "human wave assaults", the indiscriminate expenditure of human lives.

Another stellar interview. Wow, Kate, just wonderful.

The problem is how many are left.

Really good interview!

Super ! Thank you...

Its not “fighters” its soldiers!

Just counting graves doesn`t take account of the dead soldiers simply left on the battlefield and those vapourised inside exploding tanks and APCs

USA needs to make a long term commitment to Ukraine and Europe.

Excellent. Thank you. Should be able to begin our campaign of truth: Zelensky Just Won America's Conventional War with Russia. Hopefully by the beginning of next month. Will be using your material here for it and it should help to be a deciding factor in our report of Ukraine's grand success over Russia.

Odd that she speaks of tens of thousands of russian casualties, when many other platforms speak of hundreds of thousands?

Everything is good Madame la Marquise, everything is good everything is fine, the house is on fire, but everything is fine.

Why do they talk about 50,000 Russian losses when the actual number is closer to 400,000?

63,000 US in Vietnam for the entire war. (1965-1973)

The people of UK must be so proud, so caring about helping US democracy, in a country so far away, at the cost of the destruction of everything, and the deaths of so many ukrainian boys' lives. With their help, Ukraine is being saved. In ruins, but saved.

Excellent interview. Thanks!!

Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦

I S W not commenting on one side in the war?

It's always sweet to listen to ant -kremlin quest speakers. The point is that most of what they say don't tally with the situation on the ground.

So how many Ukrainians have fallen so far with munition superiority and air superiority from Russia if they loose so many, oh I remember 31k said by zelenski

The 50,000 KIA figure is not an estimate, it's a minimum. 50,000 Russia soldiers killed in action is what could be conclusively PROVEN using publicly available records. We know, however, that those publicly available records do not count all Russian soldiers who died in Ukraine. What we don't know is how much the 50,000 proven KIA is underestimating the numbers by. Best guess estimates are about 110,000 Russia soldiers killed and about 200,000 wounded. Ukraine, by contrast, has suffered somewhere around 50,000 to 60,000 KIA and maybe 150,000 wounded (attacking forces almost always suffer more loses than defending forces, and this war is no exception). The real question is whether Russia can keep having 50,000+ dead soldiers and 100,000+ seriously wounded soldiers per year, and how long can they keep that up. That is worse than the entire 10-year Afghan war every single year, and they'll need probably at least 10 to 15 more years of it to capture Kyiv (more like 100 to 150 years at the rate their going, but the "best case" for Russia is 10 years more of war at current rate of loses).

Very interesting analysis. Time for West to deliver on commitments.

Running through fields screaming waving shovels.... She may aswell have just said this

Isn’t this just a new name of “ free Europien Radio?”

Strange the focus on Russian losses,but no mention of the Ukrainian losses at all

50k sounds suspiciously low for relentless sustained attack, just as 30k for the opposite side sounds low for eating shells and dive bombs every day.

Dang this girl knows her stuff.

Volume on this video is too low. Please find a way to control the mic so that we can hear it.

Slava Ukraini 💙💛🇺🇦

Thats funny as the BBC has said the losses are likely less than the 50k? Russia having over ten times the firepower of Ukraine, you can imagine how horrific their losses are.

50 000 is ridiculous I've seen upper estimates of 400 000 so the losses are probably at least somewhere in between

Sure, and unfortunately they have many millions more bodies to send

Germany will regret their delay in supporting Ukraine.

More like 170k loses dead, wounded 200k missing 30k ,loses in adivkaa 25 k alone

• You need to put a flag on screen with DATE & TIME & PLACE. Some of this content is older than claimed hours. • 50,000 dead RU ! Most warbloggers say ~500,000 Casualties.

These battles in Ukraine amoung the oliarchs drinking parties are a topical subject that is of passing interest.

Just yesterday I saw a story about some Russian soldiers refusing officers' orders because it meant certain death. Anyone know about this story?

I can never understand how they come up with the numbers of deceased Russians. We were looking at over 400 thousand in the fall of 2023 then the numbers decreased and rose then now we are talking 50 thousand who and what are they numbering.

Kateryna presents a balanced and knowledgeable analysis of the situation. She has the facts to hand. This is an insightful and informative interview. Thank you Times Radio. 👍

Being forced to constantly defend territory instead of advancing does not appear to be a winning strategy. Putin can just continue to throw stuff at it for as long as it takes. I feel sorry for the people who are being attacked and just want to get on with their lives without living under a dictatorship,

Russia has lost over 500,000 troops so far, Ukraine has lost only 31,000 in 2 years......I still believe in Santa too.

And what about those numbers for Ukraine? What about ammo supplies, air defence, tanks and of course what about men? How about all this? How catastrophic is it for Ukraine right now with all this?

Outstanding... Well done. I suggest, that Ukraine - for one - needs a healthy active and passive civil-defense / comprehensive contingencies-management capabilities. I'd love to help you do it. It needs champions, like you. Note, for instance... ..., Swiss template, for instance ... Built into republics. In a 21st century context. By using a matrix NGO... ...With Chapters, everywhere. Using FEMA/. EMI recommendations. Semper Fidelis...

I can't forget the captured phone calls from numerous Russians to the effect that "80% of our corp is dead" or "only 3 or 42 is still alive" or "no one who joined with me is alive". Then there's the infamous 230,000 death certificates ordered by the regime. The toil of wounded Russians is far greater considering their limited response to injuries (running away, shipping them off to a hospital, pain medicine)

It's great that you are giving us the statistics on Russian losses in this War but there is also Ukrainian statistics that we hear nothing about. It's time for you to share that information.

Just to maybe make one point... Each one was someone's Brother, son or Husband. Just a thought!

Ukraine is mobilising by false 500,000 new men. What happened to the army and azov Brigade they did have ??

It would take many years to identify and find all the missing conscipts russian would never do that though heros of the federation.

This program was proudly brought to you by the Military Industrial Complex 😂

50k of Russian losses is short by about 9x. When Ukraine reported around 375K Russian losses, US intelligence confirmed about 370K, if my memory is correct. Ukraine is now reporting over 450K. The front line is one aspect of the war in which Russia is currently taking small amounts of territory. More significantly, Russia is crushing Ukrainian civilian infrastructure and other terrorist-style activities. Ukraine has made significant gains in sinking ships in the Russian Black Sea fleet and downing multiple military aircraft assets. It is also making substantial advances in taking out military infrastructure.

At first I thought there was a mistake in the title of the video, but no, they really think that Russia has problems.

3 minutes in, this woman had nothing new to say.

It seems to be mostly soviet era equipment and vehicles being used and lost for the most part, the question is whether Russias cutting edge technology is effective or not, the last generation of NATO vehicles is just as vulnerable in this type of warfare. Drones especially are frighteningly effective and the next generation of armoured vehicles needs to be completely redesigned to cope. It seems poor population’s need to be reduced and war has always been the way. Russia can afford to throw poor people and soviet trash at the Ukrainians without really spending massive amounts, they must still have masses of next generation equipment in reserve or waiting to replace lost obsolete equipment. I watch the uncensored footage and it’s a particularly horrible war compared to any in recent years, it’s a meatgrinder on both sides like ww1. Both sides are merciless and effective but losing thousands of men a week regardless of propaganda. It’s a moonscape covered in decaying bodies and burned out vehicles and there’s no hiding from drones dropping granades and spotting artillery on your head. Horrible and terrifying war.

What are the losses on the Ukrainian side ?

Why is it her policy not to comment on Ukrainian forces......

Defensive weapons will stall any advances of the Russian machine. With longer range weapons stalling any reinforcements for future expansion.

Yeah sure. Been hearing this since day 1.

Ukraine has lost 500,000 dead and over a million wounded....

ISW = Kegan institute =Victoria Nuland = CIA cutoff = professional propagandist!

1:55 Is she really saying "Ukrainian forces were able to exhaust and culminate(?) Russian forces after the battles of..."?

He’s still there!

SLAVA UKRAINE 🇺🇦

Can we see some proof of meat grinders? I only see small groups followed by small groups attacking in a line.

Prisoner recruitment.. fight and get a pardon (if you survive) has been practiced in Russia for centuries

BBC always says clear truth about Russia and China 🤣🤣🤣🤣

LOL. Casualties are currently meaningless to the person who just said "Russia Is Invincible!"

You should show battleline maps to show us what you're talking about. City and region names mean little to me.

They are attacking again and again in golf carts without any protection. Russian soldiers has the shortest lifespan of all professions.

The Russian bots seem very selective about what Times Radio videos they troll. Not this one, as it happens. As if not even those idiots can deny the fact that Russian losses have been horrific.
