Russian death toll in Ukraine passes 150,000 as Putin’s canon fodder mown down in suicidal infantry waves & tank carnage

THE Russian death toll in the Ukraine war has now passed the 150,000 mark, according to figures from Kyiv’s defence ministry. The grim milestone was reached as footage showed Vladimir Putin’s forces being mowed down in suicidal infantry and tank attacks in a muddy bloodbath in eastern Ukraine.

But the Russian tyrant’s invasion has turned into a military failure of incredible scale, with poorly trained and equipped soldiers being sent to their deaths by incompetent leaders. As well as soldiers, the Russians have lost vast quantities of weapons, including 3397 tanks, 6658 armoured vehicles, 2398 artillery guns, 300 warplanes and 18 ships. Mad Vlad’s troops have been making repeated attempts to take the town of Vuhledar, where one of its elite marine brigades has already been wiped out. New footage shows them being picked off by the Ukrainians in another suicidal attack. Tanks have been attacking in convoy formation making them easy targets for the Ukrainian defenders to ambush, the New York Times reports. The tactics are a repeat of ones that failed in the early days of the Ukraine war, when hundreds of tanks were lost in deadly Ukrainian traps. Ukrainian soldiers have spoken about using their signature ambush tactics on the Russians who appear not to have learned any lessons from their earlier massacres. “We studied the roads they used, then hid and waited”, said Ukrainian tank crewman, Sergeant  Artyom Knignitsky. Such are the losses suffered by the Russians that Ukrainian soldiers say they captured a medic who had been drafted in to operate a tank. Meanwhile, Ukraine’s foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba, said his country had survived Russia’s “winter terror”. “On March 1, 2023, Putin suffered his fifth major defeat since the day of the full-scale invasion – Ukraine defeated his winter terror. “We endured the hardest winter in our history. It was cold and dark for us, but we were indomitable.” In roar of defiance he said: “One piece of advice for Russia: suffocate with your gas and choke with your rockets.” Fighting has also been raging around the town of Bakhmut. Ukrainian forces have been engaged in house-to-house battles, with the Wagner Group of mercenaries at their spearhead of their offensive. Putin’s troops and the Ukrainians are slugging it out in mud bath conditions, the UK’s Ministry of Defence has said. That will tilt the advantage even further in the direction of the defending Ukrainians as Russian vehicles become bogged down, making them easy targets, the MoD added. Russia’s advances have been thrown back by a valiant effort from the heroic Ukrainians, who are backed with support from the West. When Russian dead reached the 100,000 mark at the end of last year, experts spoke of Putin’s willingness to keep sacrificing soldiers. US-based Russia expert Olga Lautman from the Center for European Policy Analysis said Russia will not be affected by the soaring death toll. “The leadership doesn’t care if one million Russians die,” she said. “Look at their commemoration of World War Two, they are proud of the fact that so many millions of Russians were sacrificed.” NewsflashUkrainian troops firing a mortar towards Russian position[/caption] Russian troops in a mud filled trench on the frontline
