On October 23, 2025, just 1338 days after the Russia-Ukraine War, the beginning of the day was heavy.

In the early hours of the morning, the Russian and Ukrainian armies quietly completed an exchange of bodies on the border of Bryansk Oblast. The Russian army returned 1,000 Ukrainian bodies, while the Ukrainian army only returned 31 Russian bodies.

The disparity ratio of 1 to 39Without any publicity, it sparked a small debate internationally.

Low-key handover late at night, Russia and Ukraine have their own thoughts

This silent way of communicating is entirely different from the occasional public ceremonies.

There was no third party present, and the whole process was completed while the night was dark and windy. The two sides seemed to have reached a silent tacit understanding.

Looking at the data, we know, As of this day in 2025, the Russian army has returned more than 12,000 Ukrainian remains, while the Ukrainian army has only returned more than 300 Russian remains.

In the vast forests of the Kursk border, many Ukrainian corpses are still unclean.

There are dense trees and deep ditches, and mines planted by both sides are everywhere. It will take a lot of manpower and material resources to completely clear the battlefield, which is not realistic in the short term.

The reason why both sides keep such a low profile is actually very obvious. Kiev definitely does not want the outside world to know that its war damage is so serious. After all, high casualty data can easily affect the support of the domestic people.

Russia is too lazy to bother. It is costly and laborious to transport a large number of remains to Belarus. It is better to use these resources for front-line attacks.

Previously, the general online Russian military losses were too high, but each exchange of corpses was a ratio of thousands to dozens, this actual situation struck the propaganda of those who chanted the decline of the Russian army.

However, this tacit arrangement is also limited to exchange of corpses, fighting and killing on the battlefield, not because of this weakening.

The front line and the three lines are in emergency, and the Ukrainian army cannot hide its passivity.

The Russian army is advancing the tough battle in six major cities these days. The Ukrainian army's losses are increasing every day, and the number of remains falling into the hands of the Russian army is also increasing.

Paradoxically, the European Union was discussing military aid to Kiev at this time, and the weak Ukrainian army instead increased its counter-offensive efforts, but the real situation of the front was not so optimistic.

In the direction of Volchansk, the Russian army's northern cluster offensive has been very fierce. The vanguard troops have passed through the forest and reached the village of Sinernikovo, where they have also built a defensive position. The battle in the village is fierce.

The 57th Motorized Infantry Brigade of the Ukrainian Army stationed there has been on the front line for a long time and has no chance to rest. Logistics supplies cannot keep up. Some soldiers have left their positions without authorization.

Helpless, The Ukrainian army headquarters could only send foreign mercenary supervision teams to consolidate the defense line while watching the soldiers not to flee in disorder.

The commander of the Ukrainian army in the direction of Kharkiv is General Drapati. This man has the nickname of "General Coffin". He likes to join the reserve team constantly when fighting. Now he leads the mercenary supervision team. Obviously, there are not many reserves left in his hands.

Pokrovsk is more interesting. On October 23, the Ukrainian Internet was full of gossip, saying that Brigadier General Bilitsky, commander of the Third Assault Army of the Ukrainian Army, bypassed Commander-in-Chief Sersky and went directly to Yermak, known as the "shadow president".

Ask for their troops to withdraw from their positions, afraid of being surrounded by Russian troops.

Bilitsky was the founder of the Azov Camp, after the first Mariupol War in 2022, most of the Azov Camp was captured, and Kiev quickly rebuilt the force, and in March 2025 was also upgraded to the Third Assault Army, sending to the most intense battlefield in Bokrovsk.

But now many areas of Pokrovsk have been occupied by the Russian army, and connections with the eastern satellite city have been cut off.

Bilitsky felt that Sersky had deceived the Supreme Command, saying that stability was false, and that his troops were in danger of being surrounded.

The Azov Battalion has always been famous for its anti-Russian radicalism. Even if they often disobey military orders, Kiev always sends them to the most dangerous places as war supervision teams. Now even the war supervision team wants to withdraw early. It is probably a matter of time before Pokrovsk falls.

In the Zaporozhye direction, the Russian troops captured the town of Portavka on the Yanchur River and seized large open areas on the east bank of the river.

Ukrainian military experts have ruled that Zaporizhia, the sixth-largest city in the country, has become the next target of the Russian military.

The Russian army's style of play was a bit of a diversion. The Ukrainian army always thought that they would fight from south to north, and had already built a firm southern defense line. As a result, the Russian army's real attack was launched by the eastern cluster, fighting from east to west. Come over.

The Ukrainian military headquarters judged the wrong direction. There were no permanent defenses built in eastern Zaporizh, and the newly dug field fortifications could not stop the Russian offensive.

Now that the Russian army has captured Poltavka, it is already attacking Usbenovka in the north. If this place is lost again, the city of Guryaporje will be taken away and the safety of Zaporozhye will be directly threatened.

The front-line soldiers fought desperately on a front line of more than 2,000 kilometers, but news came from the rear that made them depressed.

The head of the Reserve Committee of the Ukrainian Army, Timothy Tymoshenko, openly said that Ukrainian women should not hide behind men and run to the front and the Russian army to fight.

The man has previously advocated the convocation of young people over 18 years of age to join the war, this is a matter that the front line officers are still looking forward to, after all, can supplement the life force.

However, this call for women to go to the battlefield attracted the resentment of many frontline soldiers. Some people asked on social media, if even women had to go to the battlefield, what would it be for them to fight hard to protect their homes on the front line?

The war lasted four years, and 1338 days of artillery cost both sides a heavy price.

The huge proportion of bodies exchanged, the urgent situation on the front line and the controversy over the source of troops at the rear all illustrate the cruelty and complexity of this conflict.

Whether it is the increase of the Russian military offensive, or the passive defense of the Ukrainian army, the average people of both countries will ultimately suffer.

To end this dilemma, perhaps the only way to return to the negotiating table and resolve differences through diplomatic channels can the Russian and Ukrainian people get rid of the war as soon as possible and rebuild their homes.
