Ukraine Daily Update | Day 721

Video Summary

I’m discussing the current state of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, with day 721 marking the three-day invasion. I’d like to address some claims that Ukraine is losing, which I believe are misleading. In reality, Ukraine has been making significant gains against the Russian forces. The Russian Black Sea Fleet, for example, has lost several vessels, with a ship sinking yesterday after being hit by the Ukrainian Intelligence Service and Group 13.

To date, Ukraine has sunk over 200 Russian vessels, including a submarine, with the Russians losing more than 6,000 tanks, according to the Ukrainian General Staff. This is a significant loss, especially considering Ukraine has captured over 300 tanks from the Russian forces. The Russian Ministry of Defense has also reported tens of thousands of destroyed Ukrainian tanks and millions of eliminated Ukrainian defenders, but these claims are likely exaggerated.

In fact, the Russian Ministry of Defense is struggling to maintain credibility, with their claims of Russian victories and Ukrainian defeats inconsistent with the reality on the ground. Additionally, the Ukrainian defense has been able to adapt and innovate, using drones to sink Russian ships and other tactics to counter the Russian invasion.

Despite Russian claims of a “never-ending source of men,” Ukraine has already lost hundreds of thousands of troops. The Russian military is faced with a legitimacy crisis, with many of its soldiers being killed or wounded. The Russian civil aviation has also lost almost half of its airplanes, with many being cannibalized for spare parts or left to rust due to lack of maintenance.
