    Hopefully by the end of the year or earlier. Russia is basically running out of people.

      It’s not a sheer numbers game but also the fact that the Russian army is so useless and ineffective, that superior numbers can’t make up for the hopelessness and demoralization of being an incompetent soldier sent to die in a foreign land for the ambitions of one corrupt and incompetent ruler, in a war that you don’t really want to participate in. When one Ukrainian fighter equals ten or more Russian soldiers the odds aren’t exactly in Russia’s favor. Many have already deserted the battlefield and many more will.

        If one Ukrainian soldier equals ten, then with the 1 million forces that Ukraine has with billions of dollars of weapons from NATO, Russia would need 10 million troops on the front just to hold them back.

        Instead we see Russia making steady advances with only ~150k troops committed. Use some sense before you share your thoughts.

        From what I understand, people in russia are noticing that no one is coming back or coming back without legs or arms or dead. Obviously the same in Ukraine. However russian soldiers don’t see their country unfairly attacked so they don’t have the drive to enlist other than the corrupt government forcing them in clearly evil ways like just going to your house and literally taking you. On the other hand, you got the Ukraninans who, on the very first days of the war would make and use Molotov cocktails. They see an asshole country destroying theirs and their way of life. So they got everything to lose. That’s why they come back. Plus men of fighting age are not allowed to leave. Most of the world see how russia’s asshole guy, little pipiputin is killing innocent people. As you might understand, most of the world has most of the people who live in the world, and they got something to lose. The world has their future to lose if russia starts WW3 or if they start using nukes. This is why russia is loosing soldiers and Ukraine keeps getting more and better trained ones.

        At least that’s what I understand. It might be that the world wants to become a slave to cancer baldy pipiputin. There are people like that. Would you like to be a servant of a guy dying from cancer who is killing kids?
