When NATO finally gives up on trying to prop up the Ukraine as a bulwark. They won in 2014 after the Maidan revolution. Started training Ukrainian soldiers because they were planning on a war coming soon. You can give them weapons, planes, artillery et al. But you cannot give them soldiers. And NATO got the Ukrainians most elite forces battling it out in Africa because that is the new source of resources.
Won’t be long now. The little man with the huge table’s three-day Special Military Operation is spelling the end of the petrochemical cabal posing as a former Superpower. They are running out of men, Soviet-era equipment, allies, time, and options. Looks like he figures to auger Russia into nothing before considering alternatives. Too bad.
The title was clearly posted as a question and not as a statement. Do you think us Westeners are dumb? We know that there are many Russians, but the question is, when will they say „enough is enough“. Somewhat like Afghanistan for the Soviets, or Vietnam for the Americans.
I mean you can run out of soldiers multiple times if you're continuously training more. The question should be is Russia running out of men to conscript.
This is why I never waste any money on their magazines, I noticed alot of their magazines in the newstands have been lying around unsold and dusty, perhaps ppl are tired of their bs
@@Arabi_Quest At a rate that Russia will run out of soldiers long before Ukraine runs out of land. The democratic powers do need to send more equipment faster and stop putting limits on how they can be used and the war will end quicker with less innocent victims dead or crippled.
@@omak3313nah, nobody with any sense watches this stuff. They click on the video, pause it and come to the comments to complain that the video title should be: Ukraine running out of soldiers!
@@Tsathogguah minus the millions already dead. And even though according to you Ukraine is 38 million putin is still suffering losses in people and all the money he has stolen over the decades. In other words the picture is not so rosy.
@@normabrien8331 Do you want to say: a million dead Ukrainians? Don't forget about the 3 million refugees in Russia alone. There are even more refugees in Europe. Forget about Ukraine already. There, Russian people forcibly became "Ukrainians".
@@bigkushyindustriesllc5710 this is classic BS. If everything went according to plan and they conquered Kyiv in 3 days, you would see the entire Russian nation celebrating like crazy. It is only now that they endure hardships you hear some so-called anti-war Russians.
both can be true, Russia is pretty much using up everything it uses, it has little to no reserves left, buys them from places like North Korea and increased production. At the time, it was true they are almost out and its still true they are almost out, they decrease artillery fire to conserve what they have left. 99% sure you're a russian bot out of the a cyberware center
Russia is obtaining a lot less than that a month. Its also facing a desperate problem with barrel wear as it has limited capacity to produce new barrels, reliant on western technology which is now hit by sanctions.
@@stephenpickering8063 would you mind to link sources for that claims? cos yet again i see projecting the problem with nato barrels which never suppose to be used in such non stop conditions. and that take about 'sanction technology' talking about rolled steel not mentioning russia produced barrels domestically for...

A woman stands weeping at the grave of her son. A man says to her "it is horrible, we are at war with Ukraine, US, and NATO, and have lost over half a million soldiers and 10,000 tanks." "How much has NATO and the US lost?" The woman asked. "They haven't shown up yet" the man replies.
@@lazurusknight2724Half a million would mean almost half of their active personnel. Do you really believe that? 😂 And Russia did not even have 5,000 tanks pre-war, let alone 10,000 😂
it aint Ukraine either buddy both sides still have enough not sure what you on about. Ukraine population may be smaller than Russia but it is still big go cope
У России в 22 году кончились ракеты, потом танки, затем солдаты. украина и страны запада победили тогда же. Приходите забирайте все что осталось, мы ждем.
@@andyhowells1141 sorry Andy how many countries have got boots on the ground in bakhmut? Which of the 53 countries you refer to have mobilised there forces there? There’s only one way this ends for Ukraine 🏳️

Not cope. Look at the sheer number of armored vehicle losses with Russia and you will see that Putin is relying on finite resources. He is only going to make thirty T-90s by the end of the year, and he is relying on Soviet era weaponry. He cannot keep this up for another six months
@@lazurusknight2724 Are you having your daily 1 hour of internet in your house of psychopaths ? Writing nonsense and thinking its funny? 10000 tanks and 500.000men yet its Ukraine with 30k "casualties' struggling to find men in 40million people country, get your pills man.
You mean poverty is necessary to maintain a militarized society? That would explain why American college is so expensive while the minimum wage is still $7.25/hr.
@@MrHowardMoon Ah yes, that is why the front line has been static for almost 1.5 years now and why Russia backed out of the sea of Azov. It's more cope from you than from anyone else.
@@dr4876 Go and watch some of History Legend's videos on the subject. Most places of "stalemate" are literally because the Russians are happy to keep the Ukrainian troops there while they fight in other places.
A negative news about Russia, then where negative news about Ukraine. Come on, lot of media news have sick double standars. Iknow if this war is must be stopped. But at least, media news show the negative/positive situation so the world can see what actually happend😢
no. this is the same as : 2010 : Chinese economy is about to collapse 2015 : Chinese economy is about to collapse 2020 : Chinese economy is about to collapse 2024 : Chinese economy is about to collapse
1998. Brzezinski: China has failed and will not succeed in connecting rural populations with telephones. 2025. one billion Chinese have 5G connections and play online.
Oh, the west will never run out of propaganda. Ukraine will be a winner even after they will be a Russian county. The whole movement says losers could identify as winners.🤓
I live in Russia, but I'm still amazed that people in the West know better how I live here. I will send this video to my father at the front, who has been fighting since 2022, the whole battalion will laugh, otherwise he will not know that they are running out of people and washing machines😂😂😂
@@MilenaSrbova There is a myth that at the beginning of the war, our military massively took washing machines (and not only) from empty houses, this is a natural process in any war, but it did not happen as actively as it was covered in the Western press, exposing them as complete looters. My classmate took part in the invasion in February 2022, and according to him, the high command actively fought looting. When our troops left the Kiev region, the Ukrainians themselves began to do this more actively (which is not surprising). Since I know this country myself, because I was born in Ukraine in 2000 and lived in it enough until I moved to Russia to my father (father is Russian, mother is Ukrainian). With this came the second myth that supposedly Russia ran out of ammunition, fighting with only sapper shovels and washing machines (it became a meme)
This is absurd. There is nothing at all sinister about Russia using volunteers. The U.S. uses volunteers when it ooes to war. If Russia was using mostly conscripts that would be portrayed as sinister. Either way, Russia is portrayed as sinister which seems to be the purpose of this video, Russia bad, bad, bad, blah, blah blah. The fact that Russia can use volunteers attests to the fact that Russians are proud to serve in Ukraine. They are signing up in large numbers all across Russia. I am neither a bot nor a Russian. I live in MInnesota. I have family in Crimea, Kharkav and Kiev. If you are against the war, as most of us are, take it up with the US State Department, they overthrew the government of Ukraine. This led to mass protests against the new government in all of the Russian areas of Ukraine. Donetsk and Lughansk declared independence and The current government sent its military against them, people it claims as its own citizens. This government killed over 14,000 Russians in Donbass before these areas could mobilize. Of course Russia helped the Russians who were trapped in Ukraine by an accident of history. The current government of Ukraine is not the government that agreed to respect the current boundaries in 1991. This needs to be settled by diplomats and not by simplistic moral judgements by partisan hacks in the media. The US needs to demand immediate talks on ending the war. Terms will be settled very quickly once the US and NATO get out of the way.
I think that if you are going to call this nonsense you should say why and you should say what would not be nonsense. As it is you contribute nothing but an insult. Do you imagine this is useful? Or maybe you think that we are waiting in suspense for you to tell us whether it is meaningful or nonsense. Do you really imagine that your one-line judgement is something the rest of us want to see? You are nothing but a troll, trying to stir up controversy where there is none.
@@noname-ji4ts What is it that you find nonsensical? You can verify aall details in Wikipedia. I'm not making it up. All of this really happened, this and much more. Russia has announced that it will not allow Ukraine to have any power over the Russians in the contested areas, Ukraine will not be allowed to attack its Russian citizens. In 2014 there were 44 MIllion people living in Ukraine. 19 Million of them were Russians. The Russian Citizens of Ukraine at that time did not like having the government of Ukraine ban their language and culture. They liked the Yanokovic Government that the U.S. invested 5 Billion dollars to overthrow. Victoria Nuland in the State Department admitted as much. Don't be surprised by this. The US has sponsored 83 revolutions in other countries since WWII. It was that US State Department that did this and the CIA in particular.
@@aqnuadziba1269The whole comment from this nutcase is nonsense! Neither are the Russian volunteers "proud to serve in Ukraine", they are often the poor lower class who get a lot of money for their circumstances! The USA did not overthrow the government in Ukraine, and Donetsk and Luhansk were declared "independent" by Russian mercenaries, neo-Nazis and agitators! The Ukrainian government is also not responsible for "14,000 dead people in Donbass"! This is just a cheeky Kremlin fairy tale! Just to name a few points... Just use your brain and get information from reputable sources! Then you will quickly realize that bots like this alleged "American with relatives in Kiev and Crimea" only spread nonsense and Russian propaganda fairy tales! 😉
"Is Putin running out of soldiers?" "No, really, maybe now he's REALLY running out of soldiers?" "Ok, some time has passed, and now he certainly has less soldiers then before, right?.. Right?" * two years later * "Ok, NOW he is running out of soldiers, BELIEVE US PLEASE"
as a person living in russia. no, we are not. mobilization ads are kinda rare than in the start of war, meaning we dont need more. plus, we dont have forced mobilization, so cope i guess
Ukraine's commander in chief said that Russia has more than 520,000 soldiers in Ukraine and will be going to reach 690,000 by the end of 2024. So the question if Putin is running out of soldiers, the answer is no. You should pose this kind of question about Ukraine as they are the ones under martial law and passed new laws lowering age of conscription and forcing men in Ukraine or abroad to fight the war.
As a Ukrainian, I'm going to say - they're really, really not running out of soldiers. But we're running out of just about everything. Ukraine won't lose in the sense it won't capitulate, but it'll have to negotiate before long. You can already see it in Zelensky's tone. I also really wish the opposite were true.
You had a chance to sign Istanbul agreements which were very much in favour for Ukrainę. No territorial losses (comparing to now), compact army like in Finland. Even euroibtegration! But nowadays it looks like it's gonna be till the end
Russia: "loses less than 100k KIA in 2 years of war, have an active KDratio on ukranian forces of at least 5to1 (probably 6to1 by now) have at least 550k soldiers in the ukranian teather with steady 30k+ volunteer per month, they have doubled their tanks numbers in the fields (according to kiev) they have more planes, vehicles drones and artillery than ever... meanwhile kiev have lost anything from 500k to 600k DEAD, entire brigade disbanded due to losses and desertions..they air force in shambles, they are loosing more himars and patriot that the west can produce.. The economist "is Russia running out of soldiers?"
As far i know that during russia mobilization it was reservist that mobilized not conscript even according centre for eastern europe studies who was polish think thank majority of russia conscript was not even send to ukraine
Russia has a conscription system, all males serve in the army, and after service you become a reservist weather you want or not. In Russia the distinction is irrelevant.
@@mrroger-t6m same as my country, which likely would be like russia trying to invade malaysia in the future but far worse results with more deaths per capita than both of them now
@@mrroger-t6m No, after demobilization you either enlist in the reserves or not. This is voluntary, you don’t have to enroll. Why talk about what you don't know?
Thanks to your team of journalists, I watch your channel with my two fathers for 16 hours a day. After that, my parents look at me strangely and start touching me in different places.
No they are not running out of tanks. smh They are using ‘refurbished’ 75-year old tanks in Ukraine because it is all part of the little man with the huge table’s masterfully planned (and totally legal and justified) three-day Special Military Operation.
7 weeks after signing up, dead in Ukraine. That's shocking. This shows the level of desperation in the Russian High command to get men to the front. What could he have learned in 7 weeks about soldiering, all that shows is complete lack of care about these peoples lives.l and is completely unsustainable
Oh, yes. This mobilization is SO MASSIVE that I know only about friends of a friends who was going(not sent, just went on their own will) to war in Ukraine. Or maybe you are talking about casual annual mobilization? You know, every young man must to serve 1 year in an army while he didn't have any issues.
"Having long been one of the largest militaries in the world, the Russian Army was further increased in size during the invasion of Ukraine. As of 2024, it ranks fourth by active military personnel, which stands at 1.32 million, following China, India, and the United States." -wikipedia So NOPE.
Because of the shovels they use. They have lost millions of men, tens of thousands vehicles, ran out of ammo in 2022, Ghost Of Kyiv shot down hundreds of their planes, and are using washing machine clips for all their parts...
The family receives a huge payment of 7kk+ rubles, so no, your theory is wrong. But it should be a confirmed loss, not surrender/suicide or 'went missing'. Many of those who die are considered 'missing' in order to avoid paying the family
@@sxe1nuar You are of course talking nonsense. In basically any conflict, the casualty rate of the attackers is a multiple of the defenders. According to all non-russian calculations, this also applies to this war.
A report from bbc said they only lost like 50k that was month ago i doubt it has increased much they are Gaining land and its people prolly millions of Ukrainians would now be russian so not that it will help with the demographic problem
Didnt you hear? BBC "updated counting method" and it went from 50K to 150K in one day. Because they switched from "we count each confirmed case" to "We estimate it should be something like this".
@@musehtaicho propaganda bro I don't believe it where are the litters of Russian body why can't they show us?I've seen some Ukrainians soldier claiming there were piles but didn't show anything just some soldiers insignia and a few bodies I remember them saying at least 50k confirmed dead I don't put to much stokes on speculation america could show satellite imagery of but no zelemsky can lie on their face and say only 30k dead without being fact checked fewer countries want Russia to lose more than UK so they want to atleast win the information war to keep public sentiment pro Ukraine
No. He isn't. This has been a question since 2022. Actually since 2014. He isn't running out of soldiers but definitely this is war of attrition and he is willing to risk it.
The sheer dearth of people speaking broken english in the comments is heartening. They wouldn't be sent to criticize this video and others like it in droves if there wasn't a kernel of truth in the numbers that scared them.
Meanwhile, today, Russia's armored units spearheaded and broke through towards Kupyansk and are contesting nearby villages. This is the third time where MSM has reportedly argued if the Russians are running out of soldiers, and yet somehow the Russians are managing to retreat forward and the Ukrainians advance backwards... Especially when considering last year's Summer Counteroffensive flopping like a dead fish before it even started for the Ukrainians. These being NATO trained and supplied/equipped units and formations to take on the Russians... And never made it to the first MLR. I don't care about the war. I just wish the MSM would stop performing interference lying for a country we have no business supporting when the West has problems of its own internally.
You are to advance to the beaches, churchill said as the english retreated from the germams without informing their allies. Then we had the phony war where nothing went on.
