Line 45: − − ==Ukrainian casualties== − [[File:Screenshot 27-2-2026 52831.jpeg|right|300px|thumb|[[The Blob]] is ready to throw in the towel.<ref>https://archive.is/My6ps</ref>]] − Acting commander of the [[Azov Brigade]] Bohdan Krotevych told an interviewer that he does not believe official Ukrainian statistics on Russian losses at all, and in fact claims that the real losses are "significantly smaller" than what is claimed. Top Ukrainian officer channel run by Stanislav Bunyatov, a Junior Sergeant in the [[AFU]]'s 24th Separate Assault Battalion "[[Aidar]]" shocked followers by stating that after the war, Ukraine's true losses will be found to have been 5 times higher than official figures.

So now they’re having an argument. And in December, Admiral Alexander Moiseyev, the Russian naval commander, published a piece in a military magazine, ''Military Thought'' it’s called in English, arguing that you must have Russian naval protection to keep the trade routes open. Now, that’s easier said for the [[Arctic]] route because there’s a Russian shore, there are Russian bases. It’s not so easy to project Russian naval power far off Russian shores where the US has bases. And we’ve just seen a major interception and seizure of a vessel, not a Russian flagged vessel, in the [[Indian Ocean]]. The Americans, for the time, have been keeping it secret. It appears to have been in the western Indian Ocean and it takes a lot of effort for the [[US Navy]] and its shore bases—[[Singapore]], [[Diego Garcia]], and elsewhere—to mount these operations. However, it’s clear it’s a [[war]] against Russia at sea, it’s clear it’s got an [[economic]] target, and it’s clear that [[Dmitriev]] and that faction in Moscow have nothing to add to the defense and they don’t want their business-as-usual doctrine to be undermined if there’s a clash between Russian naval support for Russian flagged vessels.}}
