New Data of Russian Catastrophic Losses Just Got Revealed. 420,000 Z-Soldiers Eliminated - The Russian Dude



This video breaks down newly revealed data exposing the true scale of Russia’s catastrophic military losses in Ukraine and why the Kremlin is desperately trying to hide them. In 2025 alone, Russia lost over 400,000 soldiers killed or wounded for just 0.8 percent of Ukrainian territory, a brutal ratio that shows entire brigades effectively erased for minimal, mostly symbolic gains. While Putin and General Staff chief Valery Gerasimov present triumphant maps and inflated numbers on state television, independent analysts and Ukraine’s General Staff paint a far darker picture of exhausted units, abandoned positions, and “liberated” villages that exist mostly as propaganda footage.

The video explains how Russian casualties accelerated month by month, reaching a point where Ukraine’s drone warfare now neutralizes as many soldiers as Russia recruits, pushing the war machine toward a breaking point. It explores how recruitment numbers fail to replace experienced troops, why morale and training gaps are widening, and how entire assault groups are being wiped out before reaching the front. The analysis also connects battlefield losses to diplomatic moments, showing how Russian offensives intensify whenever peace talks gain momentum, turning human lives into bargaining chips.

Personal stories reveal how “voluntary” contracts are often the result of pressure, blackmail, or prison coercion, with civilians and political prisoners sent into high-casualty units. The video also looks at Russia’s tactical shift toward drones, infiltration teams, and long-range strikes, not as signs of strength but as adaptations to extreme manpower losses. Ultimately, this is a deep dive into why Russia is trading tens of thousands of lives for marginal gains, how propaganda is struggling to mask the numbers, and why the war is approaching a point where even staged meetings and controlled narratives can no longer hide the reality of demographic and military self-destruction.

If the U.S. wanted to get rid of Putin we could help the Ukrainian people to throw the Russians
out of the country. Trump being Putin’s lap dog doesn’t help. There is no both sides to the
Russia vs Ukraine war. There is the right side and the wrong side.

Zelenskyy when offered to be evacuated from Ukraine with the Russian Army less than
a hundred miles from him along with Russian hit teams looking to kill him he said:
I don’t need a ride I need ammunition.
