By February 24, it marks the third year that the war between Russia and Ukraine will continue. In this long war, in addition to the weapons and means of warfare used by the two countries, more attention has been paid to the casualties between Russia and Ukraine. After all, the victory or defeat of this war is the most direct reaction. Recently, Ukrainian ** Zelensky revealed the death toll of Ukrainian troops in the war, which is rare for him. However, these figures are not only markedly different from those of Russia, but also from those of its allies, the United States and the United Kingdom.
Zelensky, are you lying?
According to the Observer, Zelensky said at a press conference in Kyiv on February 25 that the number of Ukrainian servicemen is 180,000 compared to the number of Russian servicemen, not 300,000 or 150,000.
He also called on the United States and the Western world to continue to help Ukraine. Zelenskyy also said that Ukrainian forces are running out of bullets, and the ratio of shells currently used by Russia to Ukraine on the battlefield is 7:1.
Earlier, the United States and Britain also released the ** figures of Ukrainian troops.
The British Ministry of Defense says there are a little over 60,000; The United States announced the death of 70,000 Ukrainian soldiers.
Fight the enemy in battle.
Russia announces the death toll of Ukrainian troops: "Since the beginning of the war, the number of deaths in Ukrainian troops has reached 400,000, including 215, only in 2022. More than 10,000 people. ”
Statistics show that in the past year alone, the number of Ukrainian servicemen who have died has increased by 7 times as much as Zelensky said. The statistics for the two countries are very different. Who the hell is lying?
One theory is that both Russia and Ukraine are "lying", but this claim is based on strategic considerations. In order to increase the enemy's **, improve your own fighting spirit, and make the whole battle situation more favorable. In today's wars, "intelligence and intelligence" has become the main ** on both sides. It is not difficult to imagine that Russia and Ukraine are engaged in an "information war" over the best numbers.
Zelensky also has a possibility, and that is lying. Since the beginning of the war, just from the beginning of the war, Russia has had a war with Ukraine. Russia is a powerful country. When this war machine is activated, it can exert far more power and potential than Ukraine, and all this can only be launched with the help of Western countries. Countries are comparable.
In addition, Ukraine has been on the defensive, while Russia has air superiority.
In addition to the Su-35, there is also a fifth-generation fighter - the Su-57. In this scenario, it is implausible that Ukrainian units are believed to have died fewer in the war than Russian units.
Some clues can be seen from Zelensky's speech.
He said that the war between Ukraine and Russia is 1:7, but the number of Ukrainian troops killed is 31,000, while ** is 180,000. This means that although Ukraine is at an absolute disadvantage, the ** rate has reached 6:1.
Looking at the overall situation of the current war between Russia and Ukraine, Russia is in the active position, while Ukraine is in a passive position. In addition, four Ukraines and Ukraine have been incorporated into Russia's territory. The Ukrainian offensive not only regained lost territory, but also won a victory inside Ukraine. Remia also achieved nothing.
Zelensky's claim that the ratio between Ukraine and Russia is 1:6, how can such a report be convincing?
He said this for two reasons.
One thing will certainly lift the spirit of Ukraine. The move was made in the wake of the distraction of Ukrainian troops from the main battlefield. Moreover, winter is coming to an end. There is no doubt that Ukraine will have to show its "value" if it wants to "join NATO" and become a member of the European Union. In spring and summer, there may be **. Therefore, Zelensky will definitely not allow the complete collapse of the Uzbek legion. Putting those numbers out now can boost his morale immensely.
The other country wants to get help from the West by improving the strength of its own military. This is due to the fact that after the end of World War II, the US Congress was controlled by the Republican Party, Ukraine could not get any money from the United States, and this year is another election year in the United States, so this election will be more difficult this time. Out of consideration for market sentiment, Biden will not make any significant changes to Ukraine. Much of Europe has stopped caring about rescue and doesn't want this fight to continue.
Therefore, what Zelensky can do is to "exaggerate the facts" as a way to appease the emotions of the allies. However, both the United States and Britain have published their own figures, and they are also very clear about the ** situation in Ukraine. Zelensky's small actions are probably not hidden from the United States or the West. And, earlier, he put forward a proposal for another 45,000 to 500,000 Ukrainian soldiers to join the army. Did the Ukrainian military win the battle?
