Is the war in Ukraine at a stalemate? | Inside Story

Many observers believe the war in Ukraine is at a stalemate.
Despite much foreign financial and military aid - and managing to hold Russian forces back - Ukraine's efforts on the battlefield have won little ground recently.
Bipartisan support for Ukraine in the US has disintegrated, threatening funding, with uncertainty also posed by next year's US presidential election.
For Russia, there have been high military casualties.
But it seems to have weathered much of the economic damage from wide-ranging sanctions.
So what could happen militarily and politically in 2024?
And will it be a decisive year in this war?

[@JustSomeGuyWithNoMaidens]

Somehow western nations bought into the propaganda videos and articles meant for the public and convinced themselves that Russia's military is somehow weak, even though Russia hasn't mobilized anything close to what they would for an actual war against a stronger nation, so they're letting the war carry on. Either that or they're monetarily benefitting from it

[@flopoz2575]

​@@uzopaul871 Indeed, the front is shifting towards Kyiv, let's have a look at it. In all of 2023 Russia conquered 850 square kilometers, and lost 372 sq kilometers to Ukraine, which gives us net gain of 478 sq km in a year for Russia. Ukraine's total area is 603628 sq km, of which Russia currently controls about 18%, roughly 109000 sq km (it was 7% or 42000 sq km before the invasion and 27% or 161000 sq km before Ukrainian counteroffensives in Kharkiv and Kherson oblasts in 2022). If we subtract Russian occupied territory (109000 sq km) from Ukraine's total area (603628 sq km), we'll get about 495000 sq km that Russia still has to conquer. Divide that by Russia's current annual territorial gains (478 sq km), and we will see that at the current rate it will take Russia 1000 years to conquer all of Ukraine. Of course, Kyiv is just halfway to Polish border from the current frontline in Donbas, so they should get to Kyiv in 500 years or so.

Donbass had seceded pre-invasion. 3. Sanctions lifted on Russia for aboding by treaties. This has been an absurd waste of human life.

At the end of the day, West, mainly US will have to take full responsibility for defeated Ukraine, if that happens. And it probably will if we look at declining support for Ukraine.

[@stuartwray6175]

​@@GaryGraham-sx4pmNo he isn't. He's a married man who attended his daughter's wedding this year. He's worth listening to on the Ukraine conflict, and he always encourages viewers/listeners to seek, compare and contrast information.

Just like Israel,Russia has the right to defend themselves. Kind regards from Tel Aviv!
