EXPLAINED: How Big is Russia’s Army in Ukraine? Bigger, But Definitely Not Better

- Опубликовано: 16 ноя 2023
- According to a new report Russia’s army in Ukraine is more than double the size of the force that invaded almost two years ago, despite suffering hundreds of thousands of casualties.
In this video we look at the numbers of troops the Kremlin is sending to fight in Ukraine and the current “volatile” information space inside Russia.
For an in-depth analysis, read Kyiv Post senior defence correspondent Stefan Korshak's report here:

That was one of the most interesting comments Valeri Zuluzhny made, that the Ukrainian government and their allies underestimated Russia's ability to sustain casualties. Russia really does not care about how many soldiers they lose, using tactics similar to Stalin during WW2, but on the other side Ukraine actually cares about the lives of soldiers and wouldnt send them to certain deaths.
Yes, that’s a great point. Thanks.
So true. And that is one reason among many to believe that russian losses are so much higher than Ukrainian.
There is no need to believe that Russia has more casualties it's a fact that's been proven over and over again. If Ukraine had more casualties than Russia their situation would be absolutely terrible yet Ukraine is becoming stronger and stronger in all aspects. If you look at how Ukraine conducts operations and the use of combined arms warfare it's so abundantly clear that everything is done to minimize risk.
@@brookwhiteman9810 Agreed.
Yes, and motivation is high on the Ukrainian side. Because they are fighting for their very own survival. The Russian soldiers are not as motivated to fight, they often are not sure why they are there. Coupled with the way they are treated compounds this problem. Not to mention not as well equipped, readiness, etc.
Thank you for the English updates! Much love from 🇨🇦!
As always, thanks for your English language outreach.
Thank you, Kyiv Post.
Thanks, Kyiv Post.
Compliments and respect to the very brave and skillful Ukrainian Armed Forces. We, here in Europe, are extremely proud of you. We shall stand with you and will support your needs in many ways. Thank you.
i'm a Brit and as far as i'm concerned we in Europe are utterly failing in our level of support for Ukraine, we could have put a stop to this terrible war months ago if we had just sent Ukraine the weapons they need. Fine words won't save Ukrainians from this brutal Russain invasion and as it is it is them who are dying tp protect our western values and freedoms
As a german citizen, I completely agree. My support for Ukraine will stay strong until Crimea is liberated and Ukraine is in NATO
Succinct and informative. Thank you! Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦💗🔥☘️
Compliments to KP....keep us updated...
Glory to Ukraine from Romania.
If those Orcs had one Anya Korzun clearly explaining what is happening, they would finally understand and leave. :-) Thank you for for all of your reports. Truth will prevail over propaganda. Slava Ukraini!
LoL 🤣😅And you really think,the corrupt, criminal, world s number 1 warmonger,propaganda masters by far,USA/UK telling the TRUTH?🙆🤦 Sure,the American s and Brits were LIED for decades already,so it s not a surprise,that these totally brainwashed dummies, believe almost every BS from their goverments and msm...🤣😅🤯
The Russians are also losing their ability to train recruits and maintain discipline, two things where Ukraine has a distinct advantage.
Why? ukraine has a significant manpower disadvantage. And in both sides army’s a lot of soldiers don’t want to fight it’s true on the ukranian army too
@@balazsszekely2132 What does that have to do with my comment. I was talking about training and the fact that Ukraine has access to much better training.
@@alunjones2550 the problem is they expended that 200 k nato trained soldiers, and those whom replace have little to no training
Thanks beauty Anya, superb report. Slava Ukraine✌✊💪
Your observation is long overdue.
Mush respect for Ukrainian people!
It's a myth that Russia has a bottomless supply of men to throw into this mess. They don't. Ukraine is doing way better than anybody expected it to do from the get-go; it's funny Ukraine was scheduled to lose within a few days, but that did not happen; not only are the country and its people holding their own, but are pushing back and hard with limited resources to do so. Guile and ingenuity. It is like what occurred with the fledging State of Israel; they were not supposed to win in 1948 either, but they managed with a whole lot less. It's a hard war, but it's also one that has to be fought and won, not just for Ukraine to remain an independent and free nation but for the wider security of Europe. From this conservative Republican, yeah, I am an American; the aid and assistance is well within our means and worth the costs; it's also in our interest that Ukraine wins this war and drives every Russian off of Ukrainian Soil. There is no other choice in the matter.
As a Scandinavian, I agree completely with all your points
Well said!
It's too bad we have a coward for a President who stands for nothing but his own graft.
Thank you once again for a nice report and the truth. Take care of each other, Be safe and God bless. From U.S.A. Texas Oblast. A Victory for Ukraine is a Victory for the World! Peace
Aren't Russians smart enough to figure out that they wouldn't need so many more new recruits if things were going so well on the front line? Slava Ukraini!
Obviously Russians aren't smart enough, or alternatively-
they simply cannot pass up the chance for a FREE UKRAINIAN TOILET or WASH MACHINE! 😎
A good question.
Then their wives couldn't look forward to a Lada / turnip / fur coat when their husbands are killed.
Russians smart? NO!
No they are not smart enough.
I do like the presentation and delivery.
I ❤ Kyiv post - pure class 👍 slava Ukraini 🇺🇦🇬🇧
Your channel was long overdue. One more voice of sanity.
Thank you Any and to all the team of Kyiv Post.
It is not easy to find the right information for us in the West from the huge amount of information. You practically always manage this. I also listened to the recent interview with Jessica Aro (Putin's Trolls) - it was awesome.
We stand with you ❤️🇺🇦🇪🇺🇺🇦❤️.
Our pleasure! Thank you for your support! 😊
Excellent report Anya. Thank you! 😘

Always top shelf reporting and great presentation. Thanks for a flawless newscaster ✌️😁.. I do find watching it twice helps me catch what I missed the first time around 😳🫣😶🥳
Slava Ukrani and much love to the greatest folks on the planet !
💛🇺🇦💛🇺🇦💛🇺🇦💛🇺🇦💛🇺🇦💛🇺🇦💛🇺🇦💛🇺🇦
🇧🇪 🇺🇦 Hope this madness stops. Ukraine has the right to choose its own path, and that's becoming an EU member. Putin is crazy, with no respect for human life, that includes his Russian soldiers as well.
Cuba too have the right to choose fool
Sounds very hypocritical
🙏🕊🌻🔱 Excellent Update! Ukraine is Stronger with ATACMS!🚀 Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the Heroes! The World Stands Committed with Ukraine and The Heroes Quest for Democracy! 🔱🌻🕊🙏

Excellent channel of news !!!
More Good News! СЛАВА УКРАЇНІ! 🔱 😎! SLAVA UKRAINI! 🔱 😎!
Thanks for the update. You possess a GORGEOUS smile.
God bless Ukraine 🇺🇦 💪
Putrid will not be able to continue supplying his "Z"ombie Cannon Fodder into Ukraine. That is my humble opinion.
He has always utilised the element of surprise to great advantage. But, the cat is out of the bag, even for the russian people.
The writing is on the wall !
54 : 1 fav - UKR to win
At the present time if the Russian Federation breaks up, Russia looses and Putin is DEAD....very likely to happen in 2024!
Hello, you had juste one thumbs UP missing to make 700. So i am here to correct that.
Thank you Anya for your calm and to the point reporting. I get a better view of the news that I don't get on other sites. Glad to see Russia still using the f1 grenade. Those things were more deadly to the thrower than the recipient.
Anya is a really nice name
Thanks! 😊
@@kyiv_postAnn..is a family name here on Merseyside and back in Ireland...

Thank you for the update.
Thanks Anya Love these little breakdown's & Analysis that you put out. I read the KP every day, I want to Thank the Whole KP Team Asa whole for the Amazing work you All do!

Thank you very much! 😊
Russia may have the numbers but Ukraine have the brains.
And reason
And no serious territorial gains
I’ve just found your channel and you have a new subscriber from Indianapolis 🏁 . Your reports are clear, concise, and help make sense of all this idiocy. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦🫶🏽
BTW, why isn’t this 🏁 the state flag of Indiana?
Slava Ukriane, Thank you Kyiv post for what you do.
Ukraine 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 ❤️ 😍
Thank you
Thanks Anya. 🇺🇦 Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦
Thank you for providing those insights!
From America, good report. Seems Ukraine strategy should include delivering real newspapers into Russia. For example, South Korea flies newspapers into North Korea using small balloons undetectable by radar. If they knew real news Russians will lose the all important "will to fight" and avoid enlistment.
PS...the UA, will deffo be training us on Salisbury plain and Catterick...off to North Yorkshire soon ,
Slava Ukraine 🇨🇦🇺🇦
Until they realize they are actually trading their people for refrigerators or goats, they will throw their children away.
Prior to February 2022, I watched many Russian productions of Soviet war dramas. Heroism, sacrifice, honor despite the most terrifying conditions. Tank battles, Stalingrad, the war in Afghanistan, even the movie honoring Kalashnikov for the invention of his rifle. And I saw one or two action movies glorifying the 'private' Russian units 'defending' the people of Africa. Very good production values, with very high view numbers by audiences throughout the world. And I believe, I am not certain, yet I believe, I saw some Russian action movies pirated from RUclips or other distributors for sale as DVDs on the streets of Africa.
I suggest Ukraine make Russian action movies to present the war from the viewpoint of mobiks and convicts deployed to Ukraine. Russian censors cannot stop the downloading and conversion of movies to DVDs. DVDs will spread hand-to-hand, duplicated by individuals to give to others. Like the secret publishing during the Soviet era.
Fluent Russian, captured uniforms, captured weapons, many video scenes recorded in actual combat-- Ukrainian movie companies can make very inexpensive works of carefully crafted anti-Putin propaganda.
Keeping Russians in Russia will be much cheaper than killing them in Ukraine.
The death benefits must be enough to assuage the grief of losing a loved one. I’m curious , how much is typically paid to the family of a slaughtered soldier? What does this do to the psyche of the Russian nation?
“We got a apartment, fridge, car from brave Ivan’s sacrifice”
P.S. Where do I get me one of these “Beautiful KYIV POST Coffee ☕️ Mugs” that Anya ( 💓 ) seen to always have her desk?? If I had one, I would proudly drink my кава ☕️ from it кожний Божий ✝️☦️ день!!
Good stuff
well done💛💙💛💙
The world's 2nd biggest army ,but only in 🇺🇦 . 300,000 have perished another 300,000 next year, how sad is Russia 😢😢😢
Anna has considerable credibility just because of her appearnce. She looks like she's been working - not straight from the salon.
what is true is not important, what is important is what you believe is the truth
Слава Україні 🇺🇦🇳🇿
Where are the jets??
If those mobilized dudes understood what was eventually to be their fate, they will eventually avoid orders. At some point the amount of money paid for certain death won;t be worth it. Knowledge is power, we have to get the information to the public. I don't understand, there should be enough bodies coming home or by the amount of supposedly "missing" soldiers should by now have people with a choice avoiding the army and those without a choice should be refusing to fight.
Qui vivra, verra
Two questions every Russian should ask themselves before enlisting:
1. If the war is going so well for Russia, why do you need me?
2. Why has the SMO taken 633 days and counting when it was supposed to take 3 days?
You don't need half a brain to ask these two questions and realize that all is not as it seems.
👍
So what are ukrainian looses?
Instead of psychoanalyzing the enemy Anya should rather discuss the much more important issues of under mobilization of Ukraine and the incompetence of their military leadership to achieve significant territorial gains in the summer offensive which undermine the chances for victory.
While it's very difficult and maybe impossible to change the enemy behavior Ukraine must focus on what is under its control to improve.
Several days ago Zelensky promised a big surprise coming up and so far everything is the same attrition war that has been going on for a year.
15-25,000 lol . That's like talking about how big is our Universe, meaning we see it, but we don't really know the size or shape of it, plus we can't really see it lol.
Man everytime... I really can't focus on what she says, its really hard for me to follow damn it... i have to turn of my screen and only use audio hahaha
The smart ones don’t
It needs to be noted that Ukraine’s army is almost double the size of Russia’s army in Ukraine. And the Western aid sent to Ukraine so far exceeds Russia’s entire millitary budget for over a year.
So yeah, Ukraine’s brilliant defense doesn’t seem so brilliant anymore.
Where’s your tattoos
Also Russian economy not doing well which is good .Praying for Ukraine
You mean that they have a bigger gdp than before the war
Yeah
✌️✨✨✨
I wonder why women are not demand equal right to fight in the war? Seem like a good time to prove your equality and earn that equal pay.
Kovalenko is wrong --> The current number is 700 k. It might be 400 k ordinary RUS soldiers but then you have 100 k Navy in Crimea, 50 k support ( engineering, military Police, forced RUS Gov. ) a 100 k former Ukrainians and minority soldiers without proper documents and without a proper salary and ( despite Bakmut ) 50 k former Wagner. The current number of 700 k is approx the total invasion number of 2022, aka. the RUS army has mobilized the battlefield loss of 300 k + another 100 k that have fled, gotten sick or been sent to prison or executed by the RUS command. The mobilization of 400 k happened in 18 months and Putin is correct in calling this a "partial mobilization". A standard Russian mobilization, this is equal to an additional 2 million RUS soldiers. A full RUS mobilization, this is equal to 5 to 10 million soldiers. Ukraine is going to experience a standard RUS mobilization which will label the SMO as a War. This will bring the RUS force to 2.7 million soldiers. I've been saying this for a year and many channels/social media delete the comments. I hope that somebody can understand the gravity of the situation. Kovalenko is not only wrong. He might be off by a factor of 10.
It is astounding that there is still a sizeable fraction of the population subject to the Russian Federation who remain "optimistic" about the state of the genocidal Orc Horde in Ukraine.
NEVER TRUST CROOKED JOE
Ukraine can't afford to lose that many like Russia because Russia have more people.
🙂🤩😀
This is lies also
It's bigger than ukraine anyway 😅
You do realize this Exercise is all about dE,, pop.. u..lation. Right?
The big problem for you is that Ukraine us being hammered and rhat Russia is winning 😂
Lovely lady ❤
You need to work up from this deception. Ukrainian soldiers 🇺🇦 on the frontlines have dismissed this nonsense that the enemy is not better organized. Its clear the Russians have gotten better and become good at adapting. Ukraine 🇺🇦 shouls focus on its own problems such as men eligible to fight leaving the country illegally. Ukraine is the new Palestine 🇵🇸 and Russia 🇷🇺 is not going anywhere even after the death of Putin.
I don't know if this is independent journalism or influenced but I've said it before and I'll say it again.
Time IS NOT ON Ukraine's side
Expecting a collapse will be a long wait - 2027 maybe 2030 if lucky.
Honestly the only hope I'm starting to see is we (the US) steps in to uphold the Budapest memorandum. Only main reason we haven't is China's reaction. Hopefully Biden spoke about this yesterday (Nov 16th 2023) with Xi.
Honestly I see Ukraine leaders want a collapse to swoop in and take over the military aspect of Russia, hence why they are not destroying everything in Russia like bases etc... Don't give me "air defense" of Russia is to good because we've seen that is BS.
I personally don't like Ukraine hiding losses while I get why its not being transparent and doesn't allow us to get a real picture of what's going on. example: are ALL the Leopards gone? and how many did they receive? Are all 12 Mi-24 from Poland gone and all 12 or 14 Slovakia Mig-29's and how many Bradley's have been lost? I seen SOMEONE (most likely in Ukraine) went into Wikipedia and changed all the fighter jet numbers to basically nothing, was like 72 and now 20+ lol. We heard 14-18 Brigades equipped with armored vehicles but are they all gone?
Are we parking all these machines in hiding for a rainy day?
Blah - Ukraine don't want people to give up hope \ support, but you're leaving us with no other choice. just give give give and nothing in return, I was in a 16 year marriage and it was just like that, horrible experience
And please with the "they will march to Poland" because the way it looks now we in the west will end up fighting this fight anyways, that or wait another decade or so for the "collapse" to happen 🙄
Time is MORE on the Ukraine's side than on Russia's side!
Zelensky is starting to mobilize women now
This woman could be mobilized at any moment
Then you might see if the russian army is really bad
Mam you are a very beautiful female, that's my comment, PUCK FUTIN!!!!!!! BY THE WAY
Kiev post 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 well, you can't win the war, you might as well try to win the media war. Because the reality is, Russia is winning. Ukraine is losing 5 times as many people as Russia everyday. That's the reality, and not even Nato is able to change this situation.
Прочитал комментарии. Вы тут все в параллельном мире живете что ли? Какаую только дичь не пишите. Это у Украины огромные потери, кладбища заполнены. Мобилизуют стариков, потому что молодежь уже в могиле.
Anya, will you be joining the Ukranian army?
If Russia loses 100000 soldiers then kiev has lost 1000000 Soldiers
Propaganda rag. Propaganda Penelope.
Numbers do not matter.
Archangel Michael
Oh really?? How is Ukrainian recruitment going on? 😂😂😂
I heard you are sending women to frontline now😂
Amazing Ukraine 💙💛 standing up against the russian-soviet dictatorship and its totally illegal and unjustified aggression (and its ridiculous trolls),
Long live Freedom !🎨🌈
Why not? Russia does the same. In fact, they thinking of sending more to the front.
... and the earth is flat
Ah, another Russian troll living in denial. Go figure…
I don’t understand how can the Ukrainian army be better than the Russian this is pure propaganda
They are better trained, equipped, rotated, and aren't used as cannon fodder.
They are NATO trained and that includes months of combat instructions, not like Russia sending green troops into human wave attacks.
Arresting putin is mad pazzo criminal 😂😂😂
