    Heavy fighting still rages....Russians have expanded their ground offensive...WEST totally ignores the heavy ground fighting...this is now open war...

    Brutal Fighting Continues Near Debaltsevo, While Another Attempted Assault Reported Near Mariupol.
    http://www.interpretermag.com/day-1040/?pressId=15812#

    Russians are finding it extremely hard to punch through the heavily defended UAf positions....and are not finding via Russian spetsnaz troops holes in the UAF defensive lines....

    UAF is fighting well.....NATO should pay attention to just how well......the Ukrainian troop determination coupled with NATO training is paying off well now......UAF is now overmatching the Russians and slowly winning territory back that Russians had taken in 2015....

    Seems right now in #Svitlodarsk #Russians use South-Ossetia's scenario that led to Georgian War - constant shelling.

    Military maps now shows #Novoluhanske as Ukrainian controlled with defense positions and fighting south-west of it

    Russia is tying to provoke Ukraine to use heavier weapons and gain better leverage to attack them.

    About an hour until a new truce comes into effect in eastern #Ukraine. Meanwhile #Horlivka locals describe outgoing fire as hardcore & hell.

    72 minutes till the newest ceasefire-in-ceasefire-in-ceasefire in #Donbas.

    Default To Outlaw 09 RE: Donbas

    Do you have any details as to the following:

    Updated (pro)Russian casualties?
    Updated Ukrainian casualties?
    Updated Russian casualties?

    How has the ratio in frontline strength been changing since Debaltsevo, and the ratio of losses?

    I recall reading that at the height of fighting, the Russians would rotate up to 9,000 soldiers into Donbas, but that the number is 3,000 or less now. Of course, there are also the intelligence officers and mercenaries embedded with the insurgents...

    Azor.....will see if I can chase down the numbers...UAF figures are easier to get than Russian loses....

    The current figure of 3000 Russians seems a tad low...my last figure was 6000 and rotating.....example the Russian Graduate Artillery School for artillery officers ...the entire class was in eastern Ukraine in the last weeks ground offensive actually participating in artillery fire against UAF positions...confirmed by SBU voice intercept and SBU humint intel.....

    Mainly Russian units from GRU/Spetsnaz...artillery....maintenance and logistics...some mech units but limited there....a lot of Russian officer trainers though.....and Russian officers inside the various separatist units who actually command and control them....so the numbers are hard to analyze.....

    Azor...this is humor but it is more interesting due to the Russian graveyard for those killed in eastern Ukraine....all graves are unmarked....just with numbers...

    Today at @mfa_russia we are not holding a minute's silence for nameless Russian vacationers like 2176 and 2178 who have died in Ukraine.
