There are no indications that Ukraine will lose this war.
Apart from not controlling 20% of their territory?
But so has Russia, they also have lost control over their stuff, stuff that Ukraine are constantly blowing up.
Ukraine now have a capable long range offensive capability which allows them to strike deep into Russia.
Russias vital strategic assets are slowly depleting due to Ukrainian strikes, while Ukraine has better support from the rest of the world and are now in fact cooperating with some powerful nations across the world.
Russia are managing to advance a few square kilometer of territory per month? while losing expensive, hard to replace assets continuously.
Mariupol had a mass grave for tens of thousand civilians russia liberated. Had because recently they started erasing it from existence https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/insight/russia-accused-of-era...
P.S. I love the ad I see on that site: "Over 10 million Ukrainians suffer from anxiety due to the war. Free exercises with scientifically proven effectiveness." The most important exercise now is running - it saves your life.
or fighting and winning?
In Russia we had partial mobilization in 2022 but since then the losses are replenished with men voluntarily signing contracts.
It's a meat grinder there for everyone.
I'm not sure about the Russians. That would kind of make sense for them too but things seem a bit gummed up by bureaucracy - I just read a thead about them having to use firecrackers in dones due to such restrictions https://x.com/ChrisO_wiki/status/2049026651544023271
I hope Russia manages to get some more sensible leadership or policies. The Ilya Remeslo guy being let out and able to criticize Putin seems somewhat promising.
Haven't read the thread but the post omits crucial detail. This is about using interceptor drones inside Russia, not on the frontline. Apparently, the thinking is that failed interceptor drones present hazard of their own, but it might be outdated now.
>I hope Russia manages to get some more sensible leadership or policies.
Like what?
More and more people in Russia are unhappy with Putin dragging his feet with so called special military operation. They think that it's long overdue to turn to total war and forget about minimizing civilian losses in the Ukraine.
Wait until Scotland or Northern Ireland gets independent and then China or some other powerful country "midwifes" an anti-British coup there and then we'll talk.
