You can claim all you want of millions upon millions of enemy casualties in comparison to you. These claims are always lies! Manpower, Industry, Military, none of these metrics favour Ukraine. The end result would always be the same, the question was how soon. Our intervention only lengthened the time for the ultimate defeat of Ukraine, not stopped it.

That's a fallacy that Putin is falling for and it's used by russian propaganda to dissuade people who believe in it from supporting Ukraine. This has costed him >3:1 ratio of casualties visually confirmed (~6:1 on Pokrovsk axis visually confirmed) and wiped out most of his modern weapons, causing his army to be most probably incapable of completely defeating Ukraine and definitely unable to stand a chance against NATO for the next few dozen years.

The Ukraine war is a conventional war with defined frontlines where two countries are battling it out with their whole industries and manpowers (again, not the case in Iraq/Afghanistan, in case of the americans they were fought almost simultaneously) Not saying that Russia has won this war already, but it is true that Ukraine is in a very bad position considering the war they found themselves in unfortunately.

[@maciekGTR]

@@facundomouly9446 the argument still works because even if Putin somehow managed to achieve the "inevitable", as some suggest, victory, he can't even nudge NATO right afterwards, since his army would be obliterated within less than a year (unless either side uses nukes and the world ends xd), and the Ukrainian army and it's guns wouldn't disappear overnight and he would have to fight a counterinsurgency campaign probably even worse than my examples. So if anything is certain it's that either side can't achieve complete victory.

Taking those potato fields has had a political ripple effect across Ukraine’s allies and has been important for Ukrainian morale. The effects of an offensive are not only measured in the type of territory they take or the quantity. Pokrovsk will likely fall in the next few months based on the current pace of advance.

Yah your numbers are made up that’s the problem (you created a straw man). The ruSSians don’t have a million casualties, it’s about half that (killed and wounded). 31,000 is the number of Ukrainian soldiers that the Ukrainian government can confirm killed. Obviously Ukraines casualties (killed and wounded) is higher, but according to all data significantly lower than ruSSias (because that is how being the side doing most of the attacking and the ruSSian tactics works). Ukraine does not have 1.5 million men in the army it has under 1 million total personnel. As for ruSSia their military is x5 bigger than that. The ratio you should be interested in is the number of frontline personnel at any given time in that regard ruSSia does have a x3 advantage over Ukraine.

Also the idea that putin can just ignore an invasion into his country especially if it isn't stopping is absolutely braindead. No he cannot. I'm not even going to argue that because the most basic knowledge of warfare should allow you to see why. Also the idea that if you just deploy an equal amount of troops means you win the engagement is also extremely dumb. In war the determining factor for a winner isn't just "who has more people to throw at them". Russia has 500k while Ukraine has 300k though it has recently increased. That argument also assumes that there won't be any repercussions on eastern part of Ukraine if they redeploy troops to kursk which is again extremely detached from reality.

as a Historian i cant believe how many people mistake skeptical and valid analysis questioning the potential for ukrainian victory as 'pro-russian' or 'kremlin bots'. I did my MA mostly on modern history regarding WW2. The Red Army was notorious for, initially, mistaking correct tactical or strategic (depending on the rank of the 'offender') as 'secret support for fascism' or 'fascists in disguise' aka '5th columnists' who had awaited the german attack and now sought to undermine the soviet response from within. Even if generals were not accused of 'collusion' during Fall Blau, there was a public perception in Germany that 'Fall Blau', and by extension Stalingrad, was the only correct strategic response. Doubting this could only come from secret admiration of the enemy, or support for 'bolshevism'. Pretty much the same '5th columnist' story. I recall the centrist/liberal historians we used for the subject would mostly chalk this up to the hysteria and paranoia inherent in totalitarian regimes. They would of course also point to the circumstance of total war. What has shocked me - even being quite far left and always skeptical of the liberal/bourgeois portrayal of western morality and superiority - is how quickly and naturally this same paranoia has reached the centre of public political opinion, even despite not being in a condition of total war, despite not even really being at war, despite our 'free' media and 'diversity of opinion' etc. Personally, I think this is a consequence of the development/evolution of mass media and its political deployment as a tool of propaganda. At the end of the day we will think as we are told. We are told to support war, so we support war. You dont support the war? Kremlin sympathizer! Both the West and the East is engaged in an 'information war' the likes of which the 40's never even thought possible. We all know the Russians is engaged in this, but few outlets talk about the NATO/EU institutions specifically designed and purposed for the creation of fake news and the utilization of media to bolster political support for foreign policy goals. Namely NATO's 'Strategic Communications Centre of Excellence' (StratCom) based in Riga or GLOBSEC in Bratislava.

I find the self-congratulating 'centre' of western historiography very naive in that regard. The 'counter narratives' favoured in many third world countries or in China and Russia are no less irrational and self congratulating, however. China and Russia has a penchant for teaching their school kids how any historical wrong, atrocity or war is due to western imperialism. The supposition being that *they* would never have acted like that, were the roles reversed. The insight here is not to simply switch out your irrational protagonist/antagonist interpretations of history and turn it around, but instead to realize that historical analysis is manipulated to serve the foreign policy goals everywhere, and that we should be skeptical towards the 'official narratives' of any nation including our own of course.

@@gustavalexander8676 In my opinion, most modern historians try to judge history with a modern "morality" that simply didn't exist. I mentioned that Britain had centuries of practice at propoganda and they are pretty good at it. As for their Imperialist tendencies, no worse than most of their contemporaries, and if nothing else, did end most of the African Slave Trade. I'm not only skeptical of "official narratives", I'm skeptical of most historical works since most historians work for the University systems and are by definition, part of the ruling class. If you look at the American Civil War, the original histories were largely written by the losers and gave a false impression of the conflict that has only recently been seriously challenged.

Kursk was a reasonable gamble for Ukraine to take, but now it's done and nothing's come of it. But what was Ukraine supposed to do? What they did before was have their professional soldiers run from place to place like a fire brigade to stem the Russians, but it only delayed the inevitable fall of these defensive works. Now we see a faster collapse of defenses because you have Ukrainian troops who, by no fault of their own, don't know what they're doing and so are just giving up ground to the Russians. I think the biggest failure of the AFU can be attributed to the abysmal performance of their officers and lack of accountability. If a Russian commander makes a mistake and gets a lot of people killed for nothing, they're fired or rotated, if they're caught stealing from the army and soldiers, they're fired and probably prosecuted. The AFU has very little accountability for such commanders

Russian strategy has been to slowly grind down Ukraines best troops until mostly forced conscripts remain.

A new Russia allied nation, call it East Ukraine, could be formed. These areas were mostly ethnic Russian from the days when Stalin added those area to Ukraine.

About 90% of the casualties (dead and wounded) are due to indirect fire - artillery and bombing. It is not hard to get the losses ratio using the firepower ratios.

@@doublehelix7880 indeed it is quite easy to be completely wrong. Drones play a hushed factor in casualties (no artillery is not inflicting 90% or anything close to that). Also how accurate the artillery fire is matters. Ukraine has an advantage in drones and it’s on the defensive, Ukraine is suffering far fewer losses than ruSSia as a result of this. ruSSia is still performing mobilizing men as is Ukraine. They are just not doing so in the same numbers as they used to. The ruSSia volunteers are signing because they are being offered the equivalent of $200,000 signing bonuses in some parts. Many ruSSin military have been calling for another wave of mobilization for a while due to ruSSias own manpower problems.

[@privatebandana]

In regards to the eventual siege of Pokrovsk, I don't think we will see much of a grind if Ukraine aren't willing to sacrifice just as many soldiers. Why? Because like you said Russia now has a superiority in basically everything AND they now have access to large FABs that can literally demolish large commie block houses, so there's nowhere to hide. During the siege of Bakhmut you still had a large amount of veterans on the ukrainian side that could easily hold out for months against what was then Wagner troops, however now those veteran brigades are very rare. They're so rare Ukraine had to send the veteran brigade from Vuhledar to plug the holes in the Pokrovsk direction, which has now led to Russia advancing on Vuhledar, and on-top of that they had to deploy four national guard brigades from different parts of the fronts to Pokrovsk aswell. Ukraine clearly has a gigantic issue with manpower if they have resort to these things, so are they actually willing to defend Pokrovsk against superior firepower? Maybe, but judging by the reaction from Ukraine's leadership, they obviously expect this to be very very costly, there's no 5:1 or 3:1 kill ratio anymore.

[@yarnickgoovaerts]

Also a key point about Backmut is that it was meant to distract Ukraine (more specifically its 6 new assault brigades) and make sure they couldn’t launch a large scale offensive while the Russian army was still in a very bad position (recovering from losses and trying to fix its terrible NCO corps). If Backmut fell earlier the great spring counter offensive might have actually been successful and the war would be completely different by now

[@maryanchabursky9148]

@@privatebandana as a Ukrainian it’s both sad and amusing how out of tough with reality your analysis is. No Ukraine doesn’t have a man power problem we have a weapons problem (we have 10 brigades that can’t be deployed due to a lack of equipment). Ukraine has superiority in drones and the general quality of troops (otherwise we would have actually lost). Veterans are no less common than before. You don’t hide in building or even trenches the war has moved into a phase of bunkers that’s why advancing is such a man power drain. There absolutely is a 1:3 kill ratio (otherwise the ruSSians would already be in Pokrovsk).

[@privatebandana]

@@maryanchabursky9148 Brother, your own president has literally said you have a manpower issue, western generals have said you have a manpower issue and your own commander of the military has said you have a manpower issue. It's so bad that Ukraine are forcing Poland to mobilize and train the male refugees that are hiding in polish territory. Veterans ARE less common, that's a fact that has been told by ukrainian troops on the ground. In the Pokrovsk direction they're being told that the men coming in are all newly mobilized that doesn't have the moral or know-how of how to fight, so they're more of a nuisance for the veterans that are on the ground there. And again, Ukraine had to pull their only veteran brigade from Vuhledar to fill the gaps in the Pokrovsk front because they had no other veteran groupings to pull from, and now Vuhledar looks like it's falling.. so if Ukraine had enough veteran groupings to go around, why did they potentially sacrifice Vuhledar? Why didn't they at least send parts of a veteran brigade to defend Vuhledar if there's no issues with veteran manpower? There's zero bunkers on the Pokrovsk front, you literally just made that up. Russia advanced from Prohres to Novohrodivka in ~5 weeks, something Ukraine did not expect, there was no time to build bunkers around that area in such a short amount of time and they took Novohrodivka almost intact which wouldn't have been the case if there were bunkers and massive fortifications there lol. Sitting here lying won't help with anything.

[@elpresidenta1945]

Any time the Ukrainian Army seizes territory its almost always undefended. Their invasion into Kursk Oblast was like driving full speed into empty fields, and the second they encountered serious resistance their gains halted immediatly. And now the Russian Army in the area is already attmpted an operational encirclement and has seized back 30-40% of the areas captured. Russian victories in Donbass are over heavily defended entrenched battle-scared towns. In almost every instance the Ukranian Army loses direct confronations. I don't even blame the Ukranian government for this situation. All of their useful combat units are to few in number and they have no way of building offensive-cabaple units without sagnificant western aid that that has been dwindeling. Ukraine's economy is decimated, their government is entirely dependent on western aid and their existence continues just because Putin doesn't want to disturb his domestic audience more than he already has. He could have announced general mobilization and probably taken Kiev, Kharkiv, Chernihiv and other cities very easily for a simple reason, the Russian Federation is almost completely self-reliant in all major fields. Putin is playing the long-game, he knows that as the years drag on, attention to Ukraine will dwindle (because westerners think this shit is COD and when "cool headcam videos" aren't on their feeds they won't give a shit) and the Ukrainian Army will become increasingly a demoralized mob of conscripts who watch as wealthy Ukrainians flee and bribe their way out of service.
