Those are official stats from Ukrainian Armed Forces, and they are absolutely realistic, even if approximate. If you're in doubt, follow Bellingcat, OSINTtechnical and people like Christo Grozev who coordinate open source intelligence / confirmation based on available photos / videos. They mostly confirm those numbers.

How about the one off battle stats? There seem to keep being reports of hundreds of vehicles destroyed in singular events. These don't seem to be reflected in the totals even days later though. I'm not clear on whether its because they don't actually have the capacity to count this stuff or if its partially bluster.

Some individual accounts may be exaggerated, but totals are already pretty severe. A lot of stuff isn’t counted too.

What's the most useful thing that can be done for support if you're just some rando on the other side of the world with money?

Donate here https://www.comebackalive.in.ua/donate, stop supporting the Russian economy and reject their products, rally local leaders to strengthen economic sanctions and increase Ukrainian support.

Hi mourner ,

When I visit the website you gave

https://www.comebackalive.in.ua/

My computer's antivirus gave me a warning that it is an unreliable website.

However , via wikipedia , I found this

https://comebackalive.org.ua/

Perhaps I should donate to

.org.ua

instead of

.in.ua

Please advise.

Thanks.

The canonical link is https://www.comebackalive.in.ua/, but the others seem to have the same donation info, so they should be legit.

mourner,

I hope you and your family are well.

I think https://comebackalive.org.ua is a phishing website, which has now appeared on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Come_Back_Alive

It was created a few weeks ago in 2022, unlike

https://www.comebackalive.in.ua/

which was created 7 years ago.

Also, I cannot find

comebackalive.org.ua

being referenced anywhere on their old website

https://savelife.in.ua/

Perhaps you could use your connenctions to tell them somebody is impersonating them for phishing purposes?

Thanks for the pointers.

I have the "living in peace-time democracy" luxury of taking "official" figures with a grain of salt - but I'm pretty sure your government is waaaaaay behind Moscow's one as far as propaganda is concerned.

Again, thanks and good luck.
