Ukrainian troops were killed or injured in the conflict in Donbass 10000. Why are there so many casualties?

In fact, this is what the Ukrainian army did to itself. Ukraine has pro-Russian and pro-European factions. But in the end, it was mainly pro-European. They are too confident that western countries can give them support, so they constantly provoke Russia. But in the end, the west didn't help them. So their casualty rate is relatively high.

Therefore, the pro-Russian forces in Russia and Ukraine are undoubtedly angered. More than 60% of the population in Crimea are Russian immigrants, while pro-Russian Russians in Donetsk and Lugansk in eastern Ukraine account for 30% to 40% of the population, and Russian-speaking Russians account for more than half of the population. Therefore, Russia sent little green men to occupy Crimea without bloodshed, supported the Russians in eastern Ukraine and the Russians to launch a rebellion, and directly sent volunteers to participate in the war.

It is not surprising that Ukrainian government forces suffered 10,000 casualties in the conflict in Donbass area in eastern Ukraine, because they are actually fighting Russia with strong military strength, and it is impossible to win. In addition, they also face many problems, such as low salary, aging weapons, chaotic national identity, etc., with low morale, lower fighting capacity and heavy casualties.

However, the new Ukrainian government supported by the United States and other countries is blindly pro-Western, not only demanding that Russia withdraw from the Black Sea Fleet Base in Sevastopol, Crimea, but also blindly implementing a series of drastic measures to de-russize, such as canceling the legal status of Russians, regardless of the interests of many Russians and Russians in China.
