🪦 DISCLAIMER FOR GENERAL STAFF LOSSES DATA
- These are real people with real lives and real families who love them. Don’t let the numbers sap your humanity.
- These numbers probably aren’t accurate but they’re the best we have and we don’t need them to be accurate to be indicative of patterns of activity.
- All losses are estimates. Losses cannot be counted with accuracy because of the conditions on the ground.
- Both sides would see it to be of their advantage to minimize their own losses maximize the other side’s losses.
- Neither side releases their losses but we have enough transparency from the Ukrainian side to have confidence in they are indicative.
- Personnel losses are hard to count. If a soldier gets injured, heals up, and returns to the front line only to get injured again, is that one loss or two? Also, how to deal with losses from PMC’s or soldiers fighting with RF from occupied territories?
- Equipment losses are hard to count. If an AA complex involves several parts and one part gets disabled, is that a loss, or a fraction of a loss? If a tank gets disabled, repaired, back into the fight, then disabled again, is that one lost tank or two?
- All recorded losses are vulnerable to multiple reporting. We have already seen numerous cases of multiple drones in the air reporting the same loss from different angles as multiple engagements.
- Losses are not always reported on the same day they occurred. It is frequent that drone losses are reported at least 24 hours after other terrestrial equipment losses. Certain losses may not be reported for days or weeks for military intelligence reasons.
Russian Losses
- The Ukrainian General Staff released figures showing 510 Russian personnel were liquidated, down from over 600 in recent days, suggesting the front lines are quieter
- Significant losses of Russian equipment were also reported, including 16 APCs, 10 artillery systems, 3 MLRS, 1 anti-aircraft system, and 21 drones
- Jonathan notes these equipment losses are more visually verifiable than personnel figures
Aircraft and Air Defense
- A Russian MiG-31 fighter crashed inside Russia with the crew ejecting. Any loss of fixed-wing aircraft is significant for Russia
- A Ukrainian Tor air defense system was taken out by a Russian Lancet drone, showing Russia is still exacting a cost
- However, Ukraine also destroyed a high-value Russian S-300 air defense system
- Jonathan emphasizes the importance of having mobile air defense like Gepards protecting these systems
Prisoner Swap and Attacks
- A prisoner swap took place with many of the returning Russian POWs looking miserable compared to the joyful Ukrainians
- Russian attacks struck 147 settlements across 9 Ukrainian regions, killing at least 7 civilians and injuring 32. The city of Mykolaiv was hit by 4 cruise missiles
- A Ukrainian journalist working with an Italian reporter was killed by a Russian sniper in Kherson
Military Aid and New Weapons
- 98% of promised military equipment has already been delivered to Ukraine according to a top US general
- The US provided Ukraine with a cutting-edge Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) Battle Command System which can network Ukraine's air defenses together. This is hugely significant and Russia has no way to counter it
- Ukraine also received new German Skynex air defense systems and is developing its own long-range unmanned torpedoes to target Russian ships
- Ukrainian Defence Minister Reznikov explained that providing aircraft is more of a pragmatic financial decision for the West rather than a political one to avoid escalation
Geopolitics and Other News
- Russia threatened to abandon the Black Sea grain deal again
- Imprisoned Russian opposition leader Navalny claims he is being slowly poisoned and faces new terrorism charges
- President Zelensky spoke with Chinese President Xi, stressing that Ukraine's 1991 borders must be restored and noting China's willingness to promote negotiations
- The Italian president voiced support for Ukraine joining the EU as soon as possible

Jonathan thanks viewers for their support and apologizes for the longer than usual video given all the significant news to cover. He signs off until next time.
