    I agree with the sentiment, but we have to be very careful not to understate the seriousness of the situation Ukraine is in right now. The reality is they are losing ground every day. I agree it is a strategic choice on their part to exchange territory for Russian casualties at a favourable exchange rate but the offensive Russia has been focusing on is grinding forward steadily.

    Let’s hope the Russian offensive culminates soon, but it seems Ukraine may still suffer some significant territorial losses before then.

    The good news is Ukraine has clearly shown they have some serious offensive chops this time around so hopefully they can continue causing dilemmas for Russia in Kursk and are primed to do as much damage as possible to Russia’s offensive efforts at the right time.

      we have to be very careful not to understate the seriousness of the situation Ukraine is in right now.

      I agree, every day of this war is a horrible injustice to Ukraine, they did everything they could to appease Putin and Russia, short of sacrificing their sovereignty. And even before the war, Ukraine was forceed to sacrifice Crimea.
      But still Putin demanded they sacrificed their sovereignty completely.

      Let’s hope the Russian offensive culminates soon

      I think it already has culminated. Although Russia keep pushing, it’s at the cost of twice as many personnel as before, but they spend fewer than half the tanks and missiles, because they are running out of equipment. Even artillery they had absolutely massive amounts of, they now need to get from North Korea!

      Allegedly Putin has been calling for a ceasefire for a while now, for instance sending first the Hungarian PM Orban, and India’s PM Modi after to plead for a ceasefire on his behalf. They agreed on a prisoner exchange that vastly benefited the west, because Putin is probably being desperate.
      Putin hates to show weakness like this, but he probably has no choice, maybe because the Russian economy is becoming extremely strained.

      Maybe I just see what I wish to see, obviously I’m extremely biased (with good reason) in favor of Ukraine. But it does seem Russia is declining along the trajectory some maybe even many predicted already 2 years ago.

        I’m with you, I could also be over correcting for my own pro Ukraine bias as well. I guess it’s hard for any of us to know the true situation but let’s hope your view is closer to the reality so we can see an end to this madness as soon as possible.

          Yes, but you are still right we need to not understate the situation. We need to keep supporting Ukraine as much as we can until the end.

        I read some times ago that russia can’t go much further than mid 2025, and with what’s happening it seems like if they do, it’s a dead mans last jump of sort if they try to hang in there a whole more year.

        Their economy is overheating and manpower for the war effort is drawn directly from the motor of the economy as they are already close to full employment. The state of their army also seems to be closer to exhaustion with less tanks, infantry vehicles and less trained soldiers. I’d love learning more about it all.

        I hope they cruch and crumble faster ofc.

      This is indeed how I also see it. I also hope a bit that with the new reinforcements now sent to the east, Ukraine will be able to cut off the salient from the side. As it is a pretty risky strategy. If Ukraine can cut into it, all the offensive troops are cut off immediately.
