🇺🇦 The Fourth Year of Russia’s "Great War": The Aftermath of the Bloodbath
Let’s put emotions, moral judgments, and debates about “defeat” or “victory” aside.
Let’s put emotions, moral judgments, and debates about “defeat” or “victory” aside. Instead, let's look at the raw numbers with which Moscow and its colonies have entered the fourth year of its colonial war in Europe.
📍 1. Loss of Manpower: Over 1,000,000 Soldiers In three years of war, Russia has lost around 1 million troops. Estimates vary, but the median calculations suggest around 600,000 dead. Since February 24, 2022, Russia has occupied approximately 65,000 square kilometers. That means an average of 4 soldiers killed per square kilometer. However, if we look only at 2024, the statistics get even worse—37 killed per square kilometer!
📍 2. The Russian Black Sea Fleet No Longer Exists Officially, the fleet still exists, but: ❌ It is blocked in Novorossiysk. ❌ It plays no role in the war. ❌ It has lost access to Crimea’s ports. ❌ Sevastopol’s naval base is effectively paralyzed due to constant attacks.
Russia has suffered the most humiliating naval defeat in its history—it lost a naval war against a country that didn’t even have a navy!
📍 3. NATO is Stronger Than Ever ❗ Sweden (after 200 years of neutrality) and Finland (after 75 years of neutrality) have joined NATO. ❗ The entire Baltic Sea is now under NATO control. ❗ Russia can no longer evade sanctions through its “shadow fleet”, as proven by the Finnish navy seizing a Russian tanker in late 2024. St. Petersburg’s port may soon become obsolete.
📍 4. Russia Has Lost the Technological Race Due to sanctions, Russia has only managed to mass-produce two new developments:
1️⃣ Iranian Shahed kamikaze drones.
2️⃣ Glide bombs.
Meanwhile, Ukraine has launched its own "drone revolution", successfully shooting down Russian helicopters with domestically produced drones. Russia, on the other hand, can’t even produce enough military trucks—most of its vehicles are imported from North Korea and Iran.
📍 5. Russia Has Lost Nearly $1 Trillion
🔹 $300 billion in Russian reserves are frozen in the EU.
🔹 Official war expenditures amount to $150 billion per year.
🔹 Sanctions, GDP decline, economic downturn, inflation, and global isolation.
🔹 Massive corruption scandals in the Russian Ministry of Defense and arrests of officials.
Summary:
✅ Lost up to 1,000,000 soldiers
✅ Lost control of the Black Sea
✅ Got NATO at its borders
✅ Fell behind in technological advancements
✅ Lost nearly $1 trillion
✅ Crushed by sanctions and economic collapse
✅ Facing uncontrolled migration, inflation, and international isolation
One thing is clear: Russia is entering the fourth year of its war in complete disaster!
