American War Report: 1 million Russian soldiers killed, Putin's troops occupied only 0.6% Ukrainian territory in one year

Moscow Army troops continue to advance in eastern Ukraine.

The target is again the city of Costiantynivka, always a target for the Russians, but now especially wanted for a very clear reason.

Right from here, from Costiaantynivka Western intelligence warns the Kremlin forces can support the siege of Pokrovsk and Myrnohandhand.

On the other hand, the capture of Pokrovsk, which is under siege since last summer and has been an important military centre for Ukraine, would allow Putin's soldiers to descend southwest, towards Dnipro and Zaporizhja.

A real dream for “carin”, which could thus force Kiev to surrender, follow Periscope.

However, only Kostyantynivka is not enough to achieve such a goal. To succeed, it would take further progress towards Chasiv Yar and Toretsk, the area in which Russians have made some progress in recent weeks near Lyman, Toretsk itself and Novopavlika. But not enough.

From the superiority on earth to the one in the air. The night between Friday and Saturday, Russian forces carried out one of the biggest attacks combined with fears of Iranian production and ballistic missiles against Ukraine.

An impressive firepower, but which according to Western intelligence has involved fewer missiles than previous attacks. Although the number is lower, efficiency is greater for the Ukrainian Air Force, which explains that new Iscander missile models are more accurate and difficult to catch by Patriot systems.

In the face of Moscow's military supremacy, according to senior officials and American and European experts, the forces of “ ” in the field of battle are weakened and Moscow could face a serious lack of troops and equipment by next year.

This is written by “Washington Post”, which stresses that Trump's decision to give up the threat of strong financial sanctions to force Putin towards a ceasefire is not rational from a military point of view. Rather, officials explain in terms of anonymity the right time to bring the Russian leader down to the negotiating table is right now. Because, in the absence of an agreement or a strong “ ” for Kiev, war would continue to develop slowly in favor of Russia in 2025. But then things would change.

This analysis is confirmed by the US Defense Intelligence Agency report (DIA), presented to Congress ten days ago by the agency's director, Jeffrey A. Cruz.

According to DIA, as of February 2022 Moscow has lost at least 10,000 ground warfare vehicles, including more than 3,000 tanks, as well as about 250 aircraft and helicopters, and more than 10 military ships.

Moreover: Between 2024 and 2025 Russia has gained only 0.1% more Ukrainian territory compared to previous years, at a cost of 1,500 killed or injured a day.

The “Russians are still gradually gaining territory, but at an unaffordable cost of”, it has declared Richard Barrons, former head of the British Joint Force Command. Meanwhile, other officials speak of a total of Russian falls totaling up to a million.

On the other hand, Europe is facing difficulties in finding a solution to boost supply for Ukraine, and Kiev faces problems both in recruiting and in equipment, despite the ongoing growth in the country's weapons production.

As a result, neither side has managed to make significant advances on the ground, while war has turned into a long-term shootout with rockets and increasingly sophisticated fears. In the middle, Ukrainian civilians increasingly exposed to the assault and destructive power of weapons. /tch
