If I wondered how good milk in a bag tasted I reckon you might have a valid opinion. Or maybe what Justin's balls tasted like you would be the goto source.

Based on a proven history of posts over the 2+ years on this war you suck balls on predictions, Justin's Balls.

Top Polish General: ‘Ukrainian Losses Must Be Counted in the Millions, Not Hundreds of Thousands’

A high-ranking Polish general has just gone on the public record saying that Ukrainian losses in its confrontation with the Russian Forces should be counted in the millions, rather than in hundreds of thousands.

TASS reported:

“Former Chief of the General Staff of the Polish Armed Forces Rajmund Andrzejczak said in an interview with the Polsat TV channel: ‘I believe that [Ukraine’s actual] losses should be counted in the millions, not the hundreds of thousands. There are no resources in this country, no one left to fight’, the general added.

‘The Ukrainians are losing this war’, he said, describing the situation as ‘very, very dramatic’.”

General Andrzejczak said that the recent top brass reshuffle, with Alexander Syrsky replacing Valery Zaluzhny had not changed anything.

“A Ukrainian soldier fighting near the country’s northern front line has described the menace of Russia’s bombardment, telling [the press] that they are ‘losing so many people, there are so many bodies we can’t even bring them all back’.

Describing the fight as ‘[bleep] awful’, the soldier, identified by the paper as Lemur, added that Ukrainian forces in the area can’t move forward.

‘We can barely hold the line’, he said.”

Lemur is reportedly fighting at Kupiansk in Ukraine’s northern Kharkov Oblast.
