The large portion of dead to wounded of Ukrainians is because many Ukrainian injured were stuck in Bakhmut, unable to secure prompt medical treatment and succumbed to their wounds.
Soviet troll, you don't know -- as always -- what are you writing about. Big international team of civilian medics-volunteers worked at Bakhmut and they had armoured vehicles to evacuate wounded Ukrainians. This team was led by Damian Duda. Wounded Ukrainians had the best possible care in Bakhmut.

A hundred percent of Russky drones launched this night was shot down. 36 launched → 36 shot down.

Its a conventional war, ljadw.
Money talks. As long as the UKR are willing to fight, the west should send money.

1 It started as an unconventional war ;the Russians could have succeeded with less men and they can still win with smaller forces .
2 There is no reason for the West to give money to Ukraine as a defeat of Ukraine does not depend on the absence of Western help and as such a defeat does not endanger the interests of the European members of NATO and thus also not the interests of the US .

I would not use national geographic as a source .
And, I have been taught that there are 6 continents
Europe
Asia
Australia/Oceania
Africa
America
Antarctica

You were taught incorrectly, it seems. Maybe you should get a refund from the insane asylum.

Could you pleeeeeaaaasseeeee have the common courtesy to stop humiliating yourself on the internet, ljadw ?

Cant you be bothered to make an effort in public ? Seriously, if your personna in the real world public is anything like your postings here, I bet you walk around with your pants on backwards, screaming at the birds, while barefoot.

You can do better. I know you can.

That a lot of inhabitants of the US claim with childish arrogance that they are a continent, is not a proof : for the majority of the world North America is a part of a continent, not a continent .
Sigh. You cant cant stop doubling down, can you. Very sad that you are pathologically unable to admit when you are wrong.

One of my sources was Dutch (the last of the three). Are they arrogant Americans, too ?

Now, wipe the spittle off your chin, and try harder !

Mad Dog
Outside the US and the Netherlands, North America is considered as a part of the American continent .In the flag of the Olympic Games America is represented by one ring .
The claim from Americans is based on childish arrogance .The population of South America is bigger than that of North America,but they do not claim to be a continent .

The seven-continent model is taught in most English-speaking countries, including Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States, and also in Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Pakistan, the Philippines, Suriname, parts of Europe and Africa.
From Wiki but much more reliable than ljadw's usual unsourced babble.

BTW in the Olympic flag (from 1913) Antarctica is not included.

The Kremlin invested a lot into propaganda that portrayed Russia as the sole leader in hypersonic technology and, moreover, as the first military power to ever use hypersonic weapons in combat.
What the Kremlin propagandists were not too eager to reveal about the Kinzhal was that it was not a brand new design – but a modification of the Iskander missile.
As a surface-to-surface short-range, tactical ballistic missile system, the Iskander’s design dates back to the 1980s and is also widely used against Ukraine.
Amid the hypersonic race in the 2010s, Russia adapted the Iskander missile to be launched not from the ground but an aircraft – and called this a hypersonic missile system Kh-47M2 Kinzhal.

But to be called a hypersonic missile armament, it’s not enough to just travel at the speed of over Mach 5.
Pretty much any ballistic missile reaches hypersonic speed. That includes Iskanders, any intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), or even Nazi Germany’s V-2 missiles used in 1944 and 1945.
To be considered a truly hypersonic weapon, a missile must also be highly maneuverable at a hypersonic speed.

Despite Putin’s unsupported claims, the Kinzhal has never demonstrated anything more than minor flight course corrections, which is typical for many conventional ballistic systems.
In a 2020 report, NATO classified the Kinzhal as an “air-launched ballistic missile” that is “not generally characterized as a hypersonic weapon.”

Geologists?

Europe has less claim to being a separate continent than North America by geography.

I hope that's true but I'll believe it when I see them.

More likely, I think, is South Korean shells replacing US shells in US stocks releasing the US shells for delivery to Ukraine.

Same with the Swiss Leopards, they won't go to Ukraine but they will replace other countries Leopards that can go to Ukraine.

More bad news for Russia

They're now losing artillery pieces at a faster rate than at any other time in the war, faster even than during the Ukrainian counter-offensives in the autumn.

Superior Western tools and techniques starting to dominate.

Good news in the context of Kyiv Security Compact which will be discussed during NATO Summit, Vilnius, Lithuania, July 11-12, 2023.

English is the fourth most common first language in the country (9.6%), but is understood in most urban areas and is the dominant language in government and the media.

With the addition of Zealandia in 2017, Earth currently has seven recognized geological continents: Africa, Antarctica, Australia, Eurasia, North America, South America, and Zealandia. Due to lacking the presence of Precambrian cratonic rocks, Zealandia's status as a geological continent has been disputed by some geologists.

Last year was record-breaking in Russia when it comes to emigration to Finland. What a morale and patriotism, what a commitment for the fatherland and Putler… :lol:
BTW

No such other two-faced nation in the world, with such gigantic hypocrisy, as Russkies. They spit on NATO and the West but at the earliest possible opportunity they run away from their sovieticized "Land of Happiness" to this hated West.

Extremely short list of a few examples only:

• Putler → all his mistresses and bastards live on this smelly West, one of daughters in Germany, next one in The Netherlands, unofficial bastards in Switzerland

• Boris Yeltsin's grandson → educated in Great Britain, lives in Great Britain

• Dmitry Medvedev, ex-President of Russia, now the most aggressive anti-West and anti-NATO spokesman of Kremlin → daughter lives in the USA, in this anti-Russian satans' pit

• Sergey Lavrov → daughter lives in New York; stepdaughter lives in London; mistress lives in London

• Dmitry Peskov → daughter lives in Paris, in this "demoralized" NATO country

• Sergei Shoigu → daughter-bastard lives in Lithuania, in this mean NATO country

• Yelena Mizulina, a member of the Federation Council, fanatic fighter for traditional Orthodox Church values → son educated in Oxford, lives in Belgium

• Dmitry Kozak, ex-Deputy Prime Minister → son lives in Great Britain, in this second greatest anti-Russian satans' pit

• Boris Gryzlov, chairman of the State Duma → daughter didn't want to live in Russia, she lives in Estonia, this anti-Russian NATO country

• Sergei Zheleznyak, ex-member of the State Duma's Committee on International Affairs → one daughter lives in Switzerland, two other daughters live in London

• Vladimir Solovyov, the most aggressive guru of Russky TV propaganda → all daughters live in the USA and have US citizenships

• Aleksei Ruski, senator → son lives in Belgium, in this awful NATO country

• Aleksei Gazarov, minister of regional Stavropol government → children live in Canada

• Alexander Zhukov, First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly → son lives in London

There are thousands of such examples. Who is able to -- he/she runs away from Russian "the best place to live". All these Russkies declare hatred towards Europe, the West, NATO, G7 and whatever related to Latin civilization, they spit on them. Nobody from the West wants to live in Russia – all Russians dream to live on the West.

How pathetic it is.

Below: Ekaterina Zheleznyak, above mentioned Sergei Zheleznyak's daughter. How much this West is awful and demoralized, isn't it?
