U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that while Ukraine has recaptured half the territory that Russia initially seized in its invasion, Kyiv faced "a very hard fight" to win back more.

      We constantly hear that Russia has personnel issues, but I have yet to see any actual evidence of that being the case. Seems like Russian army grew significantly over the past year with the call up of reservists and a whole bunch of volunteers signing up on contract. Russia has a far bigger population and could call up a huge number of people if they needed to.

        Evidence what is embedded Russian “journalists” report, e.g. there is no rotation of troops at the frontline for example.

          Even if that was the case it’s the same for Ukraine who have less troops suffering from poor training and equipment shortages while forced to attack well defended positions.

            It’s actually not the same, not even close, even according to pro-Russian sources.

              You’re right, it’s much worse for Ukraine.

                  Nah, I check sources like WSJ, The Economist, and The Telegraph, all rabidly pro Ukrainian. You’re right thought that there’s no point having a discussion with someone like you
