Putin’s offensive in Kharkiv could come at great costs | Jerome Starkey

“If Putin is not able to concentrate enough force, then we might see a situation similar to Zaporizhzhia…where there are daily confrontations, some movement on the front lines, but very, very little.”
Russia and Ukraine are stuck in a “stalemate” as Russia makes “slow gains” in Kharkiv, says The Sun’s defence editor Jerome Starkey.

Given that, as admitted in the Pentagon papers, the casualty ratio is 7:1 in Russia's favour, what is the cost for Ukraine?

[@xxrockraiderxx]

Err no, that was the Russian edit of said papers. The original papers had it closer to a 5:1 casualty ration in favour of Ukraine. So for every soldier Ukraine was losing, Russia was losing about 5. If you drill down to certain battlefields then it gets better or worse for the Ukrainians but as a whole Russia has varifiably lost more men from this war, even only using open source intelligence. The current ratio has been worse for Ukraine, closer to 3:1 in their favour. What it comes down to is the starting population size difference and the fact that 3:1 in Ukraines favour is still unsustainable for Ukraine due to their smaller starting pool of available manpower.

[@hypernova5773]

That was in Bahmut.

You guys never learn. I can assure you that this offensive will fail, like all the other Russo offences. You were the same in Feb 2022 - “oh yes, Kyiv will fall by the weekend” How did that go? Just report, don’t try to be Nostradamus.

Extraordinary cost to Russia - is that what they think or what we think? For the last little while Russia has been losing around 900 people per day (dead and wounded) while the birth rate is around 4200 per day. From 900 casualties the no if deaths might be 300-400, with the rest able to recover to some level. So the current losses is
