This is what the war was about since like july 2022
Glad to see people are catching up on the program
Better late than never
Russia is celebrating Ukraine’s decline. “This is not just a crisis,” Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, said in May, “but evidence of the biological death of a nation.” Such remarks suggest Russia is starting to view depopulation as a war objective.

tale of 2 capitals
kiev 4M pop: 22878
moscow 22M pop: 22169
Assume true, add 20% to be sure
~550k men
Less than boys born in 2026
With ever increasing automation and less need for men, women are far more precious as they give birth
All i can conclude both sides can prosecute this war for another 5 years easy

Good news for war watchers
Entre 450 et 600 000 soldats russes 🇷🇺 tués au combat durant la guerre en Ukraine 🇺🇦 ?
Des hackers ont publié des données qu'ils ont récupéré de l'agence russe de statistique Rosstat qui classe les morts par types et donne un code à chaque décès. Ces données confirment ce que nous avions déjà de Mediazona et le GSUA.
-> Il y a 450 000 morts militaires enregistrées dans les données
-> L'estimation actuelle est de 504 000 et le chiffre pourrait atteindre 550 à 600 000 morts à la fin de l'année.
-> Les données de 2026 sont partielles et mettent du temps à être enregistrées.
Il est important de garder en tête que ce chiffre de 450 à 600 000 morts n'est que partiel :
-> Les disparus ne sont pas comptés (il y en aurait au moins 220 000 d'après le projet "I want to Live")
-> Les mercenaires étrangers, ukrainiens des territoires occupés et les blessés graves ou amputés ne sont pas comptabilisés.

In light of the recent massive strikes on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, it is worth revisiting my analysis of this campaign, published in La Vigie last January.
The advent of jet-powered drones with improved terminal guidance, coupled with a shortage of interceptors and the accelerated production and foreign procurement of ballistic missiles, has significantly increased the threat.
Nonetheless, Ukrainian utilities have undertaken extensive preparations, and the risk of a complete collapse remains limited, despite the likelihood of massive power outages in major cities throughout the winter.
- Several hundred megawatts of gas-fired generation capacity, including smaller cogeneration units, have been added, bringing total commissioned capacity to 1.8 GW.
- Repairs at thermal power plants have been carried out, although several facilities were targeted before work could be completed (est. 50%).
- Additional battery storage and wind power capacity have been commissioned (~500 MW).
- Physical protection has been installed around transformers at critical substations to mitigate drone strikes. Spare parts and components have also been stockpiled.
- The destruction of much of the steel industry, among other industrial sectors, has reduced peak electricity demand.
Diesel imports and storage remain a significant vulnerability, particularly for generators that are critical to water supply and district heating pumping stations. Ukraine remains heavily dependent on imported fuel, distributed logistics networks, and limited storage capacity.
Ukraine has been able to withstand these strikes and continue fighting the war largely thanks to its Soviet-era nuclear power generation capacity, which Russia cannot directly target without incurring major risks.
Decentralised power generation should help ensure that towns and rural areas in western Ukraine experience relatively limited disruptions. However, major cities, particularly the capital, face a very difficult winter ahead.
Would that be enough for force a settlement? Probably not because the country’s resilience is extraordinary. Only the shutdown of the nuclear reactors would have enough impact at the negociation table.

Ukrainian media does exactly what they need to do, which is ring the alarm so that additional funds are assigned from EBRD, germany, UK, japan and other partners alongside rushing along orders at factories and whatnot

If they said "oh yeah we might be fine", less donations

The only fear might be that since campaign started earlier this year, the stockpiles of spare equipment might not last until february (after which the seasonal decrease of consumption, as temperatures rise), and the campaign ends

I doubt because they are very competent

So even if, they're caught with a projected deficit of certain parts today they will be frantically ordering them with practically unlimited budgets for prompt delivery from established partners in the next couple of months

Extremely Expensive? Yes, but wars usually are
Foreigners and Diasporoids will never understand that if you roll "either me or <something implied bad>" dice often you're bound for eventual loss
Especially if you find way to make as many enemies as possible and then try to ignore them and "win elections in spite of them"
what's hilarious though, is that once the new gov starts in with the standard EU-style corruption and fuckery, serbs are still going to be pleased with their choice for the mere reason that they'll never find out about any of it, since the EU/Soros influence campaigns that got them all hopped up in a national psychosis about SNS in the first place are never going to talk about any shady activity, favor-trading, or insider dealing going on in the new government.
the NGOs, Vreme, BIRN, Radio Free Europe, the usual crew, will all be proclaiming "everything is great, nothing to see here" and serbs will feel good that they made the right choice. so good for them.
sure there will be a handful of serbian nationalists doing shocked pikachu face, and then screaming they were betrayed or something, but that's kind of what these retards always do

Budanov became just the guy that walks from incident to figure out how to get people to disengage in these types of conflict

Ngl solid "retirement"
Protesters stormed a building in the town of Sofiivska Borschahivka on the western outskirts of Kyiv, where at least 14 people - primarily forcibly mobilised men - were reportedly being held hostage by personnel from the 1st Corps of the National Guard "Azov". Among those in the building was a child who was allegedly beaten with a shovel.
A bus arrived at the scene to transport around 12 of the individuals being held, resulting in the protesters attempting to overturn the vehicle. Rapid Operational Response Unit (KORD) personnel dispersed the protests, with reports of gunfire and explosions being heard amid the clashes.
President Office Head Kyrylo Budanov arrived at the scene, stating that he was trying to "figure out what the hell is going on." The event is under investigation by the National Guard.
This is asked often, and no the stats i post are for ukr govt controlled area
Here are some for RU
Herson January-September: 544
Lugansk publishes weekly stats sometimes on tg abt 80 to 100 a week: so ~4000 jan-oct
Zapo publish daily then some jurnos sum 30/week => ~1300 jan-oct
