How many Russian soldiers have died trying to capture Bakhmut for six months?

What a shame for the so-called superpower country

Meanwhile this is the latest news on Bakhmut

Continuous fighting is an advantage, eu membership cannot be possible. Don't think in one way .the plan to Continue till l 2030

Armaggedon:
Biafra, a country not backed by a single power fought Nigeria that was backed by UK and their allies, and Soviet Union and their allies, for three years. Something Iraq and Ukraine backed by the entire west couldn't achieve. If Nigeria should fight another civil war without foreign support, Biafra will put her to rout in months.

Eeyah that's why Ojukwu ran away to Ivory Coast one of the 12 countries that recognized Biafra and gave them arms. Okoro we know history

says who? Biafra was fully over backed by France my friend..no need to pretend otherwise..This is something u can easily find out as the documents are out there

Masterito:
The west has some much interest in Ukraine, so the end of the war is still far, except Russia withdraw. Ukraine offensive will happen, it just a matter of time. Take it or leave it. Except Trump wins.

And that's what d Russians are waiting for, dat offensive would most likely be d last hurrah for Ukrainian army....

lhordspy:
Bakhmut went down, just like Mariupol city. The hardest and brutal way possible, so bloody that it only exist in horror movies.

Zelensky, aided by the western media propaganda were covering up the daily loses there just like Mariupol. They never admitted to the ongoing slaughter of the Ukranian forces daily. Instead they covered it up for cheap chestbeating in the media. They kept sending the soldiers to their death.

Bllions of dollar worth of military equipment, aid, assistance from US, UK and other war-mongers ,flushed down the drain. Even the medicore overhyped Patrotiic-missile system couldn't save anyone. No wonder US backed-Ta!wan President stated it clearly yesterday, that they will never go to war with Ch!na no matter what. Everybody is finally seeing the reality in Ukraine. If US succeed in pushing anyone to war with its neighbour. They are on their own.

Another fascinating thing is that Zelensky is currently on world tour presently, from Arab nation to G7 Nations; begging for more weapons. More billions of dollar to waste, more lives of innocent soldiers to sacrifice just to please his puppeteer.


This isnt just a win for Russia. It is a win for world peace.

Zelenskyy is not only a War Criminal but also a fool.

They have little choice. If the west push so hard and commit too much resources, their citizens will revolt. Already Germany are no longer in support with their full chest. So is it with many in Italy and Spain.

After going through comments on this topic from page 1 to 5, I can confidently say this is the first time I have seen a topic on Nairaland that " kids" have stylishly kept away from.

Kudos to all commenters so far.

What's your definition of "backed"?.
Limited food supply corridor operated by NGO's?.

Antiochus:


US struggled with Japan too. It struggled with ragtag Communist militias in Vietnam and was defeated. Struggled with Korea and China during the Korean war and it was defeated ending the Korean war with stalemate despite the use of its vast airpower.

Same US Struggled against goat herders in Afghanistan and fled overnight to the shock of the world. War is no joke but Russia has done excellently well with its war against 32 member NATO bloc arming Ukraine to the teeth. Even a military strategist understand what is going on here. Now that Bakhmut has fallen let's see the next billions US and NATO are ready to pour again.

About US in Afghanistan? it's the entire Nato alliance that participated and they control less than 50% of the country before feeling...the US fled without informing it allies, if you see the way Brits and Germans were begging for evacuation when bogged down inside Kabul green zone....


E no funny against a rastag herder.

Actually France and Canada backed Biafra buh Ojukwu overplayed his hand by coveting Lagos thereby attacking Ore... which proove his downfall.


He lost too many men at Ore that defending Bendel become complicated.


Let them rout the Operation Python dance first, Okoro chest-beater.

France wanted to back Biafra. A small amount of arms managed to enter and Biafra used it to recapture Owerri when Nigeria almost wanted to declare victory. UK had to run to France to plead that they stay away from the war. When France got Bakassi through Cameroon, they changed their support to "moral" one. France never actively supported Biafra. You can provide evidence.

It will not be well with putin, his mercenary n his supporters.

jaxxy:
Still doesn't help Russia or its reputation with its neighbour or with anybody.

An invasion of a democratic and sovereign state is unacceptable.

Russian is currently suffering serious sanctions. if they keep this up they will be completely isolated.

keep your stories to yourself.
irag, Palestine , Afghanistan, Libya etc is acceptable.

Rubbish

When you go to you-tube , all u see is Ukraine is winning the war and that Russians soldiers are running from their position.
especially one stupid you-tube channel called ''Military Mind''

France and Canada supported Biafra with ammunitions.


No dey Bobo yourself.

Ibime:


Correction, It's been a year since Russian shells first landed on that strategically insignificant City

looooooooool if it's so insignificant why did Ukraine expend so much manpower and resources to defend it?

olarent:
Russian is fighting 90%of europe,plus canada,usa and japan as allies,russia is a strong country.

No. This is such a daft excuse and I don’t know why you people keep embarrassing yourselves with this childish talk

Russia isn’t fighting europe, the U.S. etc. they’re fighting Ukrainians armed with limited western weapons. They aren’t being provided with the best the west has to offer, and most of their heavy weaponry is only just arriving.

You can tell how daft an excuse it is becaus you’re not claiming Ukraine is fighting Iran and North Korea too, and both of those countries have been supplying Russia with ammunition and weapons.

Based on how Russia has been performing in Ukraine, they’re certainly nowhere near good enough to fight the likes of the US and China in a conventional fight.

This isnt just a win for Russia. It is a win for world peace.

U should be ashamed to type this rubbish. It took Russia more than 8 months to capture a village in remote Ukraine. Russia that calls itself a major power. How long did it take boko Haram to capture villages in Maiduguri from Nigeria govt?
U did not even remember that it took Ukraine less that 3 weeks to capture/retake Khakive from Russia last year. Or how long did it take Ukraine to capture Khenson.

Savechild23:


Whatever u saying, Russian under Putin will never be forgotten as a dictator who initiated an unprovoked war that caused millions of death just to taunt other world leaders

How was US provoked against irag?
you are thinking like a cattle

God1000:
How many Russian soldiers have died trying to capture Bakhmut for six months?

What a shame for the so-called superpower country

Meanwhile this is the latest news on Bakhmut

Infant statement

ElijahIme1992:

It’s not insignificant, but it’s hardly decisive.

And Ukraine kept the battle there to serve as a meat grinder for Russian troops and to force Russia to focus there for their ‘winter offensive’ instead of trying other points along the front.

Looks like mission accomplished

Bbbwings:
Remember NO Russian regular army fought this battle.

Stop spreading rubbish! How many times did the Wagner fool scream that they were running away from positions and fleeing!!! If ukraine wanted to finish them when they ran out of ammo they would have! Take a seat!Watch out what's gonna happen!

You are a baby . You don't know what's happening . Russia deing is a propaganda . Ukraine and USA know how many Russia they killed but they don't know how many Ukraine killed

See destruction. How are they going to rebuild those houses after this war ends?

Russia is fighting 90% of Europe n US abi. Kuku say 100%
Sm people reason with their anus.

Goodman2023:


Iran is very far from US, this particular city is located in Eastern ukraine, less than 3km from russia....yet it took them more than 200 days to capture it... it won't take the nigerian road safety more than a weak to capture such a city

You say Bakmut is less than 3km from Russia? a city that is more than 50km North of Donesk in Eastern Ukraine...


This is what too much Western propaganda does to someone..

Shame..!

Are you calling for anither civ war in Nigeria? I
I heard Biafrans were drinking urine and eating human flesh due to hunger. is it true?

God1000:
This is pyrrhic victory.

I think Ukrainian soldiers purposely held on to the city just to ensure a lot of Russian soldiers are killed because Bakhmut isn't that important

Interesting "thought"...... except that Ukrainian soldiers didn't die while holding on to the city for Russian soldiers to die lol

Bbbwings:

Because they have been killed or injured.

This isnt just a win for Russia. It is a win for world peace.

So. he should have gently surrendered to the invaders and hand over a sovereign country to Putin to become a vassal to Moscow?
Isn't that what you're suggesting?
So, if Fulani herdsmen invade your father's inheritance bequeathed to you, you would just bow your head and knees, kiss their feet and hand over yourself, your family and your inheritance to them and become their permanent slaves for peace to reign?
