"
Few seem to have paid attention to the recently published 18th Special Report of the UN Human Rights Office in Ukraine. Especially - in terms of the situation in the combat zone in Donbass. And pay attention, in my opinion, is worth it. Because this important document contains new evidence of the systematic and well-thought-out lie of Kiev about the losses of its own army in the course of the so-called ATO.
However, to begin with, let us recall that quite recently, in April of this year, in Washington President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko publicly estimated the number of soldiers and officers of his Armed Forces killed in Donbass at 2.7 thousand people. And so that, apparently, this still made an impression on the indifferent American audience, Pyotr Alekseevich added that in three years his troops in the conflict zone have lost more than the US army has lost in 15 years of participation in the war in Afghanistan.
Now let's turn to the above-mentioned report, which came out of the bowels of the UN headquarters. In total, according to the estimates of international experts, during the battles in the south-east of Ukraine, with varying intensity that have not stopped for the fourth year (data are given for the period from mid-April 2014 to 15 May 2017), “34,056 civilian casualties were recorded the population, the Armed Forces of Ukraine and members of armed groups ”.
What is obtained according to UN statistics, if you perform elementary arithmetic operations? That by May 15, 2017, 7,313 Ukrainian soldiers had been killed in Donbass (this number obviously includes fighters of the so-called "dobrobats", who, strictly speaking, were not included in the army in 2014-2015).
The document simply cannot speak of any other servicemen. After all, if international experts also referred to the "members of armed groups" by the defenders of Donbass (that is, the militias and volunteers opposing the Armed Forces of Ukraine), they would have to admit that two armies are fighting with each other in the conflict zone. And once two armies are fighting, it means that at least two states are at war. That would be tantamount to the actual recognition of the LPR and DPR at the UN level.
Since it is impossible to imagine such a thing today, it remains to take this fact for granted: according to UN estimates, by May 15 of this year, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have lost at least 7313 soldiers and officers during the ATO. This is about three times more than Poroshenko counted in Washington.
And the dead militias and volunteers - who are they from the point of view of Kiev and the UN, which tenderly takes into account its opinion? Terrorists, militants, rioters, rioters. At worst - "separatists". That is, they are completely civilian characters who, for some reason, suddenly took up arms and entered an endless carnage with the official authorities. They also, of course, regularly die in the Donbass steppes and copses. But these losses were undoubtedly taken into account by UN experts in the column “civilian population”. Along with completely peaceful inhabitants of cities and villages of the South-East.
Someone in Kiev will see this as casuistic "propaganda of Moscow" and distortion of facts? So we will not insist on the finality of just such a figure of Ukrainian losses, which directly follows from the UN report. Because the UN itself, for sure, also gives an account of its approximation. Of course, because their statistics are purely evaluative. And the other, more accurate, is not publicly available to anyone. But from Kiev on this occasion, a terry falsehood is pouring in. And the UN, too, no doubt, is aware of this.
Thus, in the 13th special report of the UN Human Rights Office for the fall of 2014, it was written in black and white: throughout the entire period of the anti-terrorist operation. The level of underestimation of military losses by the government can be seen by comparing the data on casualties provided by the NSDC (3277) with the number of military personnel treated in the main military and civil hospitals located in the areas closest to the hostilities - Dnepropetrovsk, Kharkov and Zaporozhye. Their number was at least 4,800. "
Moreover, the data on losses by Kiev are falsified so clumsy and shamelessly that one can only marvel. At the highest level, they lie and don't blush. Judge for yourself.
So, in March 2016, during a visit to the United States, Poroshenko said that more than 2.7 thousand Ukrainian servicemen had died from the fire of some "united Russian-terrorist forces" during the entire conflict.
We will not even try to understand why today, a year after that speech and again in the same USA, the President of Ukraine for some reason repeats exactly the same data. What, in Donbass for a year, none of the Ukrainian military died? Yes, only last May data Ukrainian Committee of Soldiers' Mothers in the "ATO zone" killed 20 soldiers and officers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Their list of names is also published there.
But something else is even more surprising. Already in August 2016 (five months after his trip to the United States) Poroshenko, speaking at a military parade on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of Ukraine's independence in Kiev, said: was able to bring Ukraine to its knees. For this, 2504 of our soldiers died. "
So how many, Pyotr Alekseevich, by that time you had fallen "heroes"? 2.7 thousand like in March? Or two hundred fewer people, as in August 2016?
Finally confused everything Chief of the General Staff of Ukraine Viktor Muzhenko... Six months later, in February 2017, he blurted out from a high rostrum: "The combat losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine ... amounted to 2,197 people killed and about 8 thousand wounded."
However, another five days passed. And the Ukrainian president at the meeting of the leadership of the Armed Forces of Ukraine did not leave a stone unturned from the calculations of Muzhenko: "2608 Ukrainian servicemen died during the aggression."
In a word, not only UN experts cannot figure it out without vodka. But those who, contrary to the facts, still believe Poroshenko, let them at least listen to their own veterans who recently returned from the ATO zone. And with the true state of affairs with the irrecoverable losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine familiar not only from the newspapers.
More recently, on June 19, a crowd of these angry camouflaged individuals led by a Bronislav Sukhia, leader of the Revolutionary Right Forces(this organization includes several former battalions of the "Right Sector" *), in the very center of the Ukrainian capital she burst into the reception of the presidential administration and paralyzed the work of an important institution for a long time. Veterans demanded the release of their ally Yuri Zabolotny, who was detained by the SBU on suspicion of preparing the overthrow of the government. Among other slogans of the rebels were the following: “We demand to honestly report to the public about the real losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and volunteer battalions in the ATO and punish those responsible for these losses and lies, which the authorities keep silent about the self-sacrifice of thousands of our fighters. Impeach Poroshenko! "
What does it mean? In my opinion, the only option is: if militant Ukrainian nationalists in this context, they say that Kiev maliciously keeps silent about the "self-sacrifice of thousands of our fighters", then it turns out that the true level of losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is just for these "thousands" of killed and underestimated.
Many have tried to establish the true amount of "cargo 200", which has been regularly transported from Donbass to all cities and towns of Ukraine for the fourth year in a row. Including in the seemingly impartial West. Often, numbers were obtained that boggle the imagination.
As, for example, in the German edition of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung. Back in February 2015, it published the following opinion: “The German special services estimate the probable death toll of Ukrainian servicemen and civilians to be up to 50 thousand people. These figures are ten times higher than the official figures announced. The official figures are clearly too low to be credible. "
At the same time, there is not a word in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung about what such stunning assessments of German intelligence are based on. But the mechanism of its own calculations was revealed by the London International Institute for Strategic Studies Military Balance, which also addressed this tragic topic.
So, in London, they calculated that by 2017 (that is, over three years of the conflict) the number of tanks in the Ukrainian army had decreased from 1,435 to 788 units. Out of 3,000 infantry fighting vehicles, no more than 1,300 remained in service. Out of 3,350 pieces of cannon and rocket artillery, only 1,850 survived.
It is clear that most of these armored combat vehicles simply burned down in the Donbass. But after all, tanks, armored personnel carriers, infantry fighting vehicles and self-propelled guns most often die along with the crews and the landing, if one was under their armor. At modern means defeat few survive.
The BMP-1 carries up to eight infantry plus three crew members. It turns out, even if we assume that none of the 1700 destroyed Ukrainian infantry fighting vehicles had a landing, and only crews were in them, even then, with a high degree of probability, at least 5,100 servicemen were killed or wounded in them. With paratroopers in the fighting compartment, this number increases by about 3-3.5 times. So consider ...
Summarizing only these data, the International Institute for Strategic Studies Military Balance concluded that in 2014-2016 alone, the losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Donbass amounted to approximately 25 thousand soldiers and officers. And this is not counting those who were covered with shells and mines in trenches, dugouts, concentration points, in attacks on foot. And those in trench warfare are always the majority.
Whom to believe? Poroshenko, constantly confused in testimony, but insisting on 2.7 thousand dead? General Muzhenko, who counted half a thousand fewer of them? The Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung with 50,000 who died in this war? London analysts?
In any case, only one thing is known for sure - there is a senseless and non-stop massacre in the Donbass. Politicians tend to use its intermediate results in their own selfish interests. Because those who insist: in any war, the truth always becomes the first victim a thousand times over.
But in conclusion, I offer another look at this tragedy. This time from a Ukrainian military hospital. This is what the deputy chief of the Military Medical Academy for clinical work, Colonel of the Medical Service of Ukraine Volodymyr Steblyuk told local journalists in April: “They (Ukrainian soldiers and officers -“ SP ”) are sitting in the trenches. And the trenches have been shot for a long time. So much so that the hit is 100 percent. Somewhere there he did not hide deeply - that's it, you died under fire. This is not a war. This murder is on. This is a shooting. "

Ukraine will suffer a huge decline in armored vehicles and artillery during the hostilities in Donbass Photo: EPA / UPG
The International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) has released the annual report The Military Balance-2016, describing the combat capabilities and technical equipment of the armed forces. different countries the world. With regard to Ukraine, it is indicated that our country has suffered huge losses in armored vehicles and artillery, which can only be explained. Compared with the "pre-war" The Military Balance-2013, the losses of the Ukrainian army in weapons and equipment in places amount to about 50% of the previous number. Noticeable losses in technology suffered and Russian army... This applies primarily to artillery and armored combat vehicles.
The International Institute for Strategic Studies was founded in 1958 and is based in London. He specializes in covering military and political conflicts and publishes annual reports on the combat capabilities of the various armies of the world. One such report was recently released - The Military Balance-2016. A separate section of this document is devoted to the Ukrainian army. IISS experts mention the annexation of Crimea and note that the mobilization, which was carried out to fight separatists in eastern Ukraine, demonstrated that the combat capabilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were reduced due to inadequate training and insufficient quantity resources.
The report also indicates that in 2015, President Petro Poroshenko signed a law to increase the number of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from 184 to 250 thousand. At the same time, according to the IISS, the Ukrainian armed forces are still "using old Soviet equipment, and the military-industrial complex has begun to return the system to equipment that was previously in storage, including T-80 tanks." The United States began to supply Ukraine with non-lethal military equipment. , - noted in the report.
Currently, according to the IISS, 788 tanks are in service with the Armed Forces of Ukraine, including 710 units of various modifications of the T-64 tank, 70 T-72 tanks and 8 T-80BV tanks. In addition, over 1,300 tanks are in storage. Among them - 10 newest T-84 tanks (BM "Oplot") and 20 obsolete Soviet T-55 tanks.
Also, the Ukrainian army has more than 1,300 armored combat vehicles (AFVs), including 210 infantry fighting vehicles (BMP-1) and 960 BMP-2, as well as over 1,850 units of cannon and rocket artillery. IISS specialists counted 133 Mi-24 attack helicopters, as well as 202 aircraft that are part of the Ukrainian Air Force. These are fighters, attack aircraft, training, military transport and reconnaissance aircraft. The number of armored vehicles and aviation does not exhaust the information on the combat capabilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine - the report indicates a fairly accurate number of air defense weapons, warships, anti-tank weapons, different types helicopters, anti-tank missile systems, armored personnel carriers, combat reconnaissance and patrol vehicles, etc.
At first glance, the strength seems to be quite impressive, but if we compare the data of 2016 with what Ukraine had before the start of the war, then a huge decline is striking, first of all, in artillery and armored vehicles. A review by The Military Balance-2013 indicates that two and a half years ago, Ukraine had 1100 different modifications of T-64 tanks (there were 165 T-80, 600 T-72, 650 T-64 and 20 T-55 tanks in storage); over 3 thousand BMPs, including 994 BMP-1 and 1434 BMP-2, as well as 3351 cannon and rocket artillery units. At the same time, in 2013, IISS experts pointed out that due to the failure of the defense reform, the Ukrainian army is only able to defend "limited territory", and a large amount of Soviet equipment needs to be replaced.
A simple comparison of both documents shows that over the past two years, the Ukrainian army has lost more than 300 tanks, over half of its armored combat vehicles, and almost 50% of its artillery systems. Such losses can only be explained by the fighting in Donbass, the active phase of which took place in the summer of 2014 and in the winter of 2015, and they were conducted exclusively with the weapons of the ground forces. Combat aviation was used on a limited scale, so its decline is counted in units.
It is also noteworthy that relatively few tanks were taken from the storage facilities to make up for the losses, but the losses in armored combat vehicles and artillery, obviously, turned out to be irreparable. At the same time, in April, the speaker of the Ministry of Defense Oksana Gavrilyuk said that since the beginning of the ATO, as of April 2016, 46.5 thousand units of weapons and military equipment have been repaired (in January this figure was 34 thousand units). Thus, according to Ukrainian officials, the restoration of the military potential of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is proceeding at a good pace. British experts, obviously, do not share this point of view.
Who could have inflicted such losses on the Ukrainian army? In August 2015, the General Staff published an analysis of the ATO in August-September 2014, in which it indicated that by the beginning of August, about 40 thousand personnel were involved in the ATO, including 32 thousand servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and 5.5 thousand military personnel. units of heavy weapons and military equipment. The General Staff estimated the ratio of forces with the militants as 1 to 1, however, probably it comes only about manpower, because the enemy did not have the amount of artillery, armored vehicles, and even more aviation, comparable to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Their leaders often complained about this, in particular, Igor Girkin (Strelkov). For example, breaking through from Slavyansk, Girkin lost almost all of his armored vehicles: two tanks, two BMP-2 and one BMD-1. At the same time, two more tanks "Strelkovtsy" were able to save and deliver to Donetsk.
After and the end of the 2014 campaign, which was unsuccessful for the Ukrainian army, President Petro Poroshenko announced the huge losses suffered by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. "60-65% military equipment in the units that stood on the first lines in the conflict zone, was destroyed. There was nothing to defend with, "the head of state said. And this assessment is in many ways close to the conclusions of the IISS specialists. Note that the Armed Forces suffered the most damage when they tried to take control of a section of the border in Donetsk and Luhansk regions and came under fire from Russian artillery, which led from its territory with impunity.
Thus, The Military Balance data indicate that the Ukrainian military-industrial complex has not yet been able to restore the combat potential of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which was lost during the war in Donbass. On the other hand, such huge losses are another indisputable evidence of the invasion of the regular Russian army into the territory of Ukraine and its active participation in battles, because the irregular formations of the DPR and LPR, which by August 20, 2014 were almost completely destroyed, simply had no strength and the means to inflict such great damage on the APU.
By the way, the Russian army also suffered losses in armored vehicles and artillery, which can also be tracked by reports. The Military Balance. For example, in 2013, the RF Armed Forces had more than 2,800 tanks and another 18,000 units were in storage. But according to data from 2016, the number of tanks in the Russian armed forces decreased by 100 units, and 500 tanks were taken from warehouses. True, in 2016, the Russian Armed Forces acquired 600 modernized T-72B3 tanks, which were not included in the report for 2013, so the talk, most likely, can not only be about large losses, but about the technical re-equipment of the Russian army.
But the noticeable decline in artillery and the fleet of armored combat vehicles is difficult to explain only by rearmament and decommissioning of old models. So, in 2013, the RF Armed Forces had more than 7,360 armored combat vehicles, and in 2016 - already 5,400, and most of all BMP-1 and BMP-2 were lost - a total of 1,500 pieces. At the same time, the warehouses where 8,500 BMP-1 and BMP-2 are stored remained intact. As for cannon and rocket artillery, The Military Balance for 2013 indicates the number of 5436+ units, and in 2016 - already 4180+. Apparently, the Ukrainian army did not remain in debt at all, especially with regard to artillery duels. However, unlike the Ukrainian one, the Russian military-industrial complex can easily make up for all the damage caused, or it may have already made up, if we take into account the rather numerous facts of the destruction of Russian tanks during the battles in the Donbass.

The battles in Donbass continue, adding to the stunning statistics of mutual losses of the warring parties.
This is what Donetsk and DPR News reported on February 25: “The DPR militia reports about a fierce tank battle in the south of the Donetsk People's Republic - Mariupol direction, southern front.
"A tank battle is going on in Shirokino. It is between Novoazovsk and Mariupol. Both from our side and from the enemy's side, 3-4 units of heavy equipment are involved," informs the headquarters of the DPR 25 02 2015.
The wounded have not yet been admitted to the Novoazovsk hospital. On February 24, two wounded and three shell-shocked militias were admitted. Several DPR fighters came today with minor injuries, also after yesterday's battle. To date, there are no wounded in the Novoazovsk hospital.
Shirokino was considered the territory of the DPR until after the new year it was unexpectedly attacked by "Azov". Now it is considered a neutral territory, and after the announcement of the armistice on February 15, Shyrokyne is the hottest point in Donbass.
Earlier it was reported about the battles of militias and security forces in the Pesok area. The DPR forces are suffering heavy losses, since the command prohibits the opening of artillery fire.
This is the news of the DPR and the Donetsk People's Republic on February 25. Despite the fact that the ceasefire is "generally respected".
Meanwhile, on February 25, the terrible figures of the real losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine during the ATO in Donbass were once again published.
During the ATO, Ukraine lost only 26 thousand soldiers killed! Look full list losses of the Ukrainian army in Novorossiya.
Until today, the latest data on the losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine during the so-called ATO in the southeast of the country, leaked to the media, were data on losses for the period from May 2 to September 5. The total losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine killed, wounded, captured, missing and deserters were called then
47 thousand 103 people.
According to the FSB of the Russian Federation, the total losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine during the punitive operation against the militias of Novorossiya, the so-called ATO, from April 3 to February 15 inclusive, are guaranteed (according to confirmed data):

For reference: according to operational data of the FSB, killed servicemen from among the militants of the "Right Sector", nat. guards, battalions "Aydar", "Azov" and "Dnepr" were secretly taken to Dnepropetrovsk and secretly burned in the crematorium. The dead servicemen of the "Right Sector" are officially listed as missing.
According to official data from the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine after calculating losses since the beginning of the operation in Donbass:
“As of 10/28/2017, since the beginning of the ATO, combat losses amounted to 10 thousand 710 servicemen of the armed forces of Ukraine, of which irrevocable - 2 333 , sanitary - 8 thousand 377 (wounded and traumatized as a result of hostilities) "Non-combat losses during this time amounted to 10 103 person. Of this amount 2150 people died, the rest were forced to leave the service due to health conditions. Total 20813 ... Understandably, deserters are not taken into account, who, according to various sources, amount to more than 2000 - 7622 - 10 thousand and are missing. Rounded all losses within 30,000 - 31,000 people.
Besides:
"More 2200 - these are civilians who died in the course of hostilities. The number of civilians who were injured as a result of the conflict is estimated at a level from 7000 to 9000 human".
The losses of the militia, special forces and "Russian volunteers" killed approximately 2000
person, there is no accurate reliable information.
The figures from official and unofficial sources differ significantly - from one to more than three thousand killed. "The number of separatists, Russian military men and mercenaries killed in the three years of the conflict in Donbass - more than three thousand - is named by the volunteers of the project" Cargo 200 from Ukraine to Russia. " The number of total losses is unknown. Various Ukrainian sources claim 5,000 - 8,000 - 12,000 or more opponents killed. Which, again, is propaganda and is not true.
By alternative data "The total losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on November 8, 2017 are almost 54000
people (including "cargo" 200 and 300, as well as missing and deserters)! "Of these, 1,660 foreign mercenaries from 39 countries, including: 550 people PMC from Poland" ASBS Othago ", which is headed by the Minister of Defense of Poland, more 10 Poles from the special forces of the Ministry of Defense "Thunder", another 430 simply citizens of Poland.

This number, by the way, also includes equipment captured by the militia.
According to the UN as of September 30, 2016, the victims of the conflict of all parties in Ukraine were 31 805 people: 9 574 killed and 22 231 affected.
The number of those who fled to other countries as of November 2016 was 1.5 million people, most of whom fled to Russia and Belarus - 1.15 million and 149 thousand, respectively. 7,967 people applied for asylum to Germany, 7,267 - to Italy, 5,423 - to Poland, 3,176 - to France, 2,742 - to Sweden, 286 - to Moldova, 80 - to Romania, 71 - to Hungary, 26 - to Slovakia.
investigative committee Russian Federation stated that on February 2, 2017, the number of Ukrainian refugees in Russia was 2 302 448 , of them from the south-east of Ukraine - 1,039,977 and 1,361 minors who came for treatment.
Frankfurter newspaper Allgemeine 8 February 2015, citing unnamed sources in military circles, said about 50,000 people killed during the conflict taking into account all parties to the conflict.
According to Novorossiya and today the number is much higher. But as you understand, the figures and the official Ukrainian and those that Novorossiya offers do not correspond to reality due to the need for propaganda and, accordingly, they are underestimated or overestimated. In my opinion alternative source close to the truth, but also gives overestimated data.
To date, the Ukrainian army has been brought to 250 thousands of personnel. At least half of this number have combat experience. Now it is in many ways much better prepared and equipped than in 2014. Despite a significant amount of 50-65% of the knocked out and lost equipment that was used earlier. And besides, there are many motivated fighters. You say, what about desertion? And I will answer, but what about propaganda? And plus the loss of friends, relatives, loved ones lead to the fact that more and more people appear, moreover, on both sides of the front, who are fighting not for money or even for ideals, but in order to avenge the victims.
Now the situation is developing similar to the one that happened in Kosovo and can repeat itself at any moment. Just a few smart commanders on average and the highest level The Armed Forces of Ukraine and a little "humanitarian" aid from the West, especially since there is confusion and vacillation in the unrecognized republics.
In general, the extermination of the Slavs by the hands of the Slavs continues. Both the Bandera and Vlasovites happily rub their sweaty palms together with pseudo-patriots on both sides under the leadership of their sponsors - both Russian and Ukrainian oligarchs. Successfully making their gesheft on blood, reducing the unnecessary population. Well, their American, Israeli and other colleagues nod approvingly, saying: "You are going the right way, comrades."
