Putin faces 'strategic loss' as Russian path to total victory growing 'improbable'

"it's on a knife edge but I think if I were in the Kremlin with the information I can see, I would say that I still have a plausible path to victory. It's not at all guaranteed. Maybe not even probable."
Ukraine's allies must demonstrate Putin's path to victory is becoming impossible without capturing several strategically important cities, RUSI's Deputy Director General tells Frontline on #timesradio from the UK Labour conference.

Still not happy about how easy westerners talk about ‘negotiations’ in the sense of Ukrainian having to give up land to Russia… Giving in to Russia IS what got us in this mess. Only a real defeat will stop Russia. And only THAN negotiations should take place about how to normalize relationships between Russia, Ukraine and the west. The first thing the west needs to have is a real strategy on Ukraine and for that we need a real strategy on the future of Russia. Now we’re just doing stuff randomly

The munitions dump that was hit comprises surface and subsurface storage. Only the surface munitions were hit which were much lighter kit which are easier to replace. It will make no difference to Russian's continued advance in Ukraine. It has always been a war of attrition and unfortunately the West has run out of Equipment and Ukraine is running of Combatants. Russia has already won the war of attrition and its just a question of whether the West and in particular the US can keep the facade going until the US election is over. The West has been panicking for over 4 months since the Ukrainian offensive failed catastrophically. What is so tragic and really evil is the way Western politicians have completely lied about the position on the battlefield. A lot of people have died needlessly when a solution was offered by Russia in March/April 2022 in Turkey. Our politicians Biden, Blair, Bush, Boris, Sunak and now Starmer should all be tried in a truly International Court for war crimes committed in the last 20 years plus. From Yugoslavia, Iraq, Libya and now the Middle East and possibly China all the war mongering has not produced any good outcomes. Europe is paying and will pay a heavy price for the war in Ukraine.
