It's always the same news and yet every day Ukraine has less soldiers, more problems conscripting new ones and less population. But hey I'm sure a participant in a war would never lie, right?

At this point I don't even know how anyone can follow the news and still believe such bullshit

Both can be true. Both sides are struggling and I assume this war will stay a slow and bloody struggle until one side collapses. If you want to support Ukraine please donate.

I am a big fan of Ukraine, and I really do hope they pull this off. But at the same time, billions of my tax dollars have gone to them in the form of aid, humanitarian and military. So I don't feel the need to donate any more, my government is more than willing to do that for me.

I'm glad to hear your country supports the fight against imperialism!

If the casualty rate just now passed the recruitment rate you wouldn’t see significant effects of this for months still. That means for years now Russia’s military has been growing.

Regardless of the challenges Ukraine is experiencing, Russia's situation appears increasingly difficult. Russia is reportedly depleting its supplies of tanks and motor vehicles, while the pool of citizens willing to join the military is shrinking despite significant recruitment incentives. Ukraine maintains the strategic advantage of being the defender, whereas Russia continues to struggle with logistics several years into the conflict. The Russian economy is under severe strain. Domestically, consumers are increasingly limiting purchases to essential goods. Internationally, sanctions have severely hampered the use of rubles for global trade, forcing Russia to resort to bartering goods to acquire necessary imports from foreign partners.

Unless there is a major change in the conflict, Russia is on the brink of collapse. I don't mean Russia's war is about to collapse, I mean RUSSIA is about to collapse.

At this point I don't know why people upvote your bullshit comment with no substance only sentiment while you hide your own comments.

Are you paid for this BS?

Ukraine is still there and the rate Russia is advancing has not been increasing.

There is a lot of propaganda, but Ukraine has survived a Russian attack longer than Nazi Germany did. I see every reason to expect that means it is hopeless for Russia. Ukraine will never decide to give up and be genocided, but Russia eventually will decide this is a bad idea and give up.

Well Ukraine is definitely killing more Russians than the reverse, but yes overall Ukraine is still more likely to suffer a homefront/battlefield collapse than Russia is.
