Looks like Zaluzhnyj did indeed asked for ..... 400....billions of dollars and 17 million shells.
And the idea, some speculate, is to get american side to refuse and get this stupid war over with.
And the whole summer-winter-spring-summer counteroffensive was actually the same thing. Zaluzhnyj asked for a lot of weapons expecting americans to refuse so that he can safely say "well, I don't have weapons for counter-offensive so there will not be one"
But despite all his expectation americans gave him all these weapons. If only he had asked way more than that.
Zaluzhnyj knew all along that Ukraine had no chance.
And american idiot-generals actually believed that Ukraine had a chance, mainly because they thought russians are incompetent buffoons.
Hitler thought the same thing.
This theory explains zaluzhny disappearance before and during this failed counter-offensive.
In other news, lying western governments are starting to realize that they need to reconcile inflated numbers for russian losses they were proclaiming with reality. Basically we have half a million they proclaimed and 38K MediaZone counted (half are Wagners)
So what do you do with that? Lets add wounded and call it casualties. So they now have ~300K casualties. Most of which are .... lightly wounded who returned back.
Fuck you! you promised millions dead russians.
