>Following the start of the Ukrainian counteroffensive, Ukrainian Ground Forces Commander Colonel General Oleksandr Syrskyi asserted that Russian losses are often 8-10 times higher than those suffered by Ukraine.
Putting Ukraine losses (not casualties) at around 25,000, which I think is reasonable given their switch to Western equipment and tactics where a soldier’s life is treated with much more value.
Those documents that were leaked from Discord a few months ago had Ukraine at 15,000 losses (can’t remember if KIA or casualties), and they’ve been on the offensive ever since.
Ukraine can certainly win with a 10:1 ratio, and they’re only getting stronger as the war drags on whereas Russia is clinging on to life
I would take everything the NYT says about Ukraine with a large grain of salt.
Ukraine says Russia’s casualties are 10x greater than their own, Russia says Ukraine’s casualties are 10x greater than their own.
Probably the truth is somewhere between those two.
