Now, the serious stuff….
It seems that my estimates of Ukrainian losses in the SMO have been pretty accurate.
On August 20, it became known about the hacking of the database of the General Staff of Ukraine. According to the information received, Ukraine has lost 1.72 million people killed and missing over the years, which is more than lives in Ukraine's second most populous city, Kharkiv. It is specified that in 2022, losses amounted to 118.5 thousand, in 2023 - 405 thousand, in 2024 the figure increased to 595 thousand people, and in 2025 it amounted to a record 621 thousand people and continues to grow daily.
In total, hackers gained access to 1.7 million files, which contain full names, personal data and photos, as well as a description of the circumstances and place of death or disappearance and contacts of the next of kin.Hackers from the groups Killnet, Palach Pro, User Sec and Beregini are said to have obtained terabytes of information about the Ukrainian military. Aside from personnel losses, the groups allegedly also possess the personal data of the command of the Special Operations Forces and the Main Intelligence Directorate, lists of all countries that have supplied weapons to Kiev and lists of all weapons transferred from 2022 to 2025.
The information was obtained as a result of a complex hacking of a PC and a local network by Russian hackers from the Killnet, Palach Pro, User Sec and Beregini groups.
Of course, the Ukrainian media are are at pains to call this “fake news” and Russian disinformation.
However, the hacker groups, normally not the Kremlin’s favorite people, provided proofs.
But what does documentation matter?
After all, in February this year Vladimit Zelensky told CBS that just 46,000 Ukrainian soldiers had died with 380,000 wounded, compared to over a million Russians. See….? Straight form the horse’s mouth? Ok, straight from the donkey’s ass.
So why are the Ukrainians conscripting everyone under 80 and over 8 with at least one leg working? Oh, rehabilitation? Health and fitness? Education? And all those cemeteries springing up with so many flags…..Ah….tourism.
My estimates have been over a million UAF KIA.. I think the latest was 1.4 or 1.5 million.
The number of wounded (irrecoverable) is often estimated at 3 times that of KIA. But because of poor Ukrainian battlefield medicine, a lot of the wounded die before they can get medical help so that 3:1 ratio may distort the calculations.
90% of Russia wounded survive and recover. But survival and recovery rates are much lower for Ukrainians .—si figure 3 million out of action counting both KIA and irrecoverably wounded..
Complicating the numbers game is that the number of desertions is very high and the numbers of people fleeing to other countries also high. The population appears to have taken a hit of at least 5 million military capable people, mostly males. Europe is home to over 6 million Ukrainian refugees and Russia to about 1. 5 million. Do the math. Does the Ukraine have a future as a country?
Previously, the Russians lost 1 soldier for every 10 Ukrainians. Now the ratio is 30:1 in their favor.
Demilitarization. Denazification. Depopulation. But ultimately it is the Nazis depopulating their own country.

The "WSJ" and "NY Times" have reporters ensconced in Kiev (Kyiv according to their bylines). I can see them mixing with beautiful people and not noticing any funerals among their number because these people do not get dragooned to the front.
But to not investigate Ukrainian local news elsewhere and Telegram channels is journalistic malpractice. Which I guess is being consistent for our national news media -- write what you wish, not what actually occurs.
Beautiful hacking work !
