The much-vaunted Ukrainian summer counteroffensive could hardly be going any more disastrously. Even liberal US and UK mainstream media is beginning to admit that it has been a massive defeat for Ukraine thus far. The liberal Washington Post recently reported the grim fact that Ukrainian soldiers at the front typically only lasts two-three days before they are killed or wounded and taken out of action. The fact that the UK's controlled news media which has been the biggest cheerleader of Biden's war in Ukraine is now saying "Ukraine's army is in total chaos" and that the Ukrainian counteroffensive has been "disastrous" seems to suggest that even UK leaders may be setting up a new narrative that prepares the public for negotiations with Russia to end the conflict.

Credible sources have reported Ukraine has lost up to seven times as many soldiers as Russia since the counteroffensive began. Predictions that the decision to provide Ukraine with over 100 German Leopard 2 tanks, as well as dozens of British Challenger 2 and US M-1A1 tanks would enable the Ukrainians to crush the Russian army and drive them out of all internationally recognized Ukrainian territory have proven ridiculously wrong just as I predicted they would be.

According to the latest estimates, Ukraine has lost 40,000 soldiers killed in action since they began their summer counteroffensive. A lengthy but must-read article published by an author recommended by Dr. John Mearsheimer explaining the true state of the war and the fact that Ukraine has likely suffered at least 200,000 troops killed in action and over 200,000 wounded since the war began which is a staggering figure likely over three times higher than the Russian death toll.
