The announcement by Ukraine’s president on Monday came hours after a scathing social media post implicitly accused the general of “killing more Ukrainian soldiers than any Russian general.”

    Last I think I heard, the Kiev regime has been losing up to 200(?) soldiers a day. At this rate Ukraine is genociding it’s own population just to become another US military outpost and keep the meat grinder running.

      We should not throw this term around casually.

        Not with intent, but almost in effect. Conscription is a death sentence and Ukranians are hiding in fear of the kidnapping squads. Losses have been staggering and completely unsustainable. Yet Kiev keeps going all-in on some new escalation and another, which only really promise to gut the population further. While they might posture to the contrary, the Kiev regime cares little more for the lives of the Ukranians than those of Russians.

          Intent is a key element of genocide. Just like if you kill someone by negligence it’s not murder, if you kill a lot of your own people by mismanaging a war it’s not genocide.

        yeah i don’t think genociding, as much as I hate the Kiev regime, is the right word in this context. They were conducting ethnic cleansing operations in the Easternmost territories tho.

      Last week they lost 15000 soldiers in a week, according to the Russian MoD weekly report.

      There was another social media post by another Ukrainian commander (regular army, I think their formation is defending Novovasilevka?) that says that the newest recruits are being blindfolded when transported to the front. The most recent mobilization has been so forceful, that even the Ukrainian government expects their new recruits to surrender immediately and give up information to the Russians.

      But those kinds of posts are of course ignored.

        I first thought I heard it was 2000 a day, then I thought that can’t be right, must be 200… nope, it is. I guess that speaks to how unhinged things are when even I have trouble believing the amount of death that’s happening. I doubt the current conscription rates are even close to that.

          Ukrainians have announced recently that they are mobilizing 5000 a day, but that’s probably just PR. Even if true, the quality of this troops is most likely shit, due to age, health issues, unwillingness to fight and extremely short training.

      Oh yeah, Ukrainian losses are absolutely insane. I really can’t see how this can go on much longer. You need a professional and motivated core to hold things together, and once that’s gone it’s gonna be game over.

    Nothing like a good purge, but ofc when the “good guys” do it the media don’t go around accusing him of having a personality cult, curious.

    Oh look at that. The Nazis have very little influence on the government of Ukraine, but one guy from Azov Battalion writes a social media post, and the next day Zelenski abides.

    If true, then it is interesting that the Pax American media is beginning to expose evidences that Zelensky’s Kyiv government is corrupted and genocidal. The announcement to remove a top general in respond to social media accusation indicated that the accusation is true or that Zelensky cannot dismiss the allegation. The accusation from a Pax Americana media company that normally support Zelensky and conceal Zelensky’s wrongdoing indicated that the accusation is likely true.

      indeed, the fact that this sort of stuff is increasingly showing up in western media is a strong indicator that things are going very badly indeed
