Ukraine has to save ammo, as it does with manpower. Besides that, winter is a better time to regroup and replenish. And most offensives culminate after some time, as a rule of thumb in wars. Due to drones, element of surprize dropped below zero. You can still see this with Russian attacks, every serious concentration getting wasted.

It's honestly shameful of Western countries to just slowly "forget" the war in Ukraine.

Besides this fact, with arty supplies slowly drying up for Ukraine, we see Russia slowly creeping forwards. This reminds me of the pace at the beginning of the war before the Kharkiv offensive. Where Russia slowly kept gaining ground, due to the arty advantage on the battleground.

@@Justsomedude81 Your take on this is wild. The USA alone is sitting on 60+ billion dollars in aid, only for republicans to block that wanting border reform. The money is there, it just is not released/accepted to go help out Ukraine. Ukraine is also a relatively new nation, only becoming independent when the USSR fell. When Afghanistan began, Ukraine was under massive Russian influence and battling with post Soviet corruption. So that comment is just plain unfair to the country. They are an extremely valuable country, in that winning this war, will stop Russia dead in it's tracks. Otherwise, countries that DID fight along side the US in Afghanistan will be threatened that could bring a massive war around. You're right, we do owe them nothing, however you're missing the fact that Ukraine has potential to be a massive ally in the near future, with a big professional army capable of stopping Russia dead in it's tracks if it ever invades again. The West and the USA are mostly democratic countries, and a country that wants to adopt these values is under attack. It is only logical that aid will be provided to stop this new potential ally becoming a Russian puppet (or straight up annexed) and be put back under an oppressive regime that limits a persons freedom and doesn't value any democratic principles. So I'm asking you, why would you think that arming Ukraine would be worse than Russia annexing it?

Look into the geopolitics of the middle-east & Israel and what's happening right now. You've greatly oversimplified Israel's situation and there's a lot at stake. For example: Iran is wholly against the existence of a Jewish state and has a well-funded puppet terrorist military in neighboring Lebanon; you may have heard of them... they're called Hezbollah and they're better equipped than Lebanon's own military. And their mouth is probably watering right now at the opportunity to strike Israel during their war against Hamas. There's already small spats at the border between them. I recommend watching RealLifeLore, he has great content on it. This of course isn't even mentioning a potential escalation with the west bank, Jordan, & Syria. Any escalation in the middle-east makes further wars in other areas of the world (China wants Taiwan, for example) more likely which in turn makes WW3 more likely. Priorities definitely not skewed.

While it is true that Russia is regaining the initiative, it's regaining the initiative in a war that increasingly prides itself in advances that would fit well in a list of advances on the Western front for WW1. As long as that the advances on that kind of level, it doesn't really change much of anything. Aside of that Russia so far has remained absolutely terrible in offensives and suffers loss ratios like 3 to 1 or 5 to 1, sometimes even worse in such offensives. So bizarrely enough, Russia is basically doing Ukraine a favor so far as making the war more cost effective for them. Ukraine struggled at times to get loss ratios much better 1 to 1 while on the offensive after all. Truthfully, if one can't win an offensive, then making your opponent suffer absolute terrible loss ratios really is the next best thing to do. So I could definitely understand Ukraine focusing more on defense for awhile till they figure out a way to break through Russian lines and out of attritional warfare.

Support for the War in Russia is also at an all time low. 18% still support it. People tend to forget this. While Russia is usually good at winning Wars of Attrition, Russian *Regimes* tend to not survive them. Ask Tsar Nicholas how WW1 went for him.

[@Quickshot0]

@@svyatoslavgouzenko7034 I got the figures from Perun from the PerunAU channel. They do in-depth slide show discussions on various aspects of the war based on what factual information we have. As for the casualties, your numbers are off, Ukrainian casualties are estimated to be around about 200k based on a usa estimate from August. Yes, it's not August now, but the number also wasn't 200k but 70k dead and 100k to 120k wounded. So I rounded it up quite a bit. Another factor to take in to account is I said they at times struggled to hit 1 to 1 in offensives and the early part of the war was also a lot more messy then the current increasingly static. These two factors obviously push the total ratio down. Russian casualty totals are thought to be over 300k by a NATO estimate from November, though how much over is unclear, and as can be seen from Avdiivka, they've been rapidly adding to it as well. But it's probably not at 400k yet, unless the Russians have covered up more then we know of. As such by rough approximation for the whole war offensive and defensive actions the casualty ratio between Russia and Ukraine is about 2 to 1. But that's only if you count in men, if you count in confirmed equipment losses, as can be tracked in the Oryx blog, then one can an over all 3 to 1 loss ratio against Russia for the entire war. So depending on what you count and depending on if you are looking at offensives or defensives the ratio changes quite a lot. But as I noted, there Russia t the moment is deciding to run its as so far usual very self damaging offensives, which can for instance hit 3 to 1 on casualties these days and equipment wise at times far worse. This means the Russian 'initiative' is really helping to push the overall war ratio further in to Ukraines advantage. And if you're in an attritional war, if your enemy wants to do you such a huge favor in attritional battle... why would you want to decline? Way better then your losses during an offensive after all, and your only losing tiny scraps of bombed to ruins lands for it at that. Another year or two of offensives like that and Russia might start coming undone. But most likely they won't be willing to be quite 'that' stupid... though at times they surprise.

[@QualeQualeson]

You're absolutely right. I'd say that lack of proper perspective has been a problem all along. The fact that Ukraine held, and is still holding a full scale russian invasion is the key point and has been from the start. The opportunity this created for the west to deal with russia, a rogue state that's been a pain in everyone's ass long before the invasion, is still on the table. Why it doesn't jump on this gift is the million dollar question. The west could crush russia very quickly indeed if it wanted to. My position is hawkish. I want the west to play chicken with russia because I believe that the russian problem isn't going anywhere and is likely to get worse in the future. At the same time, I can think of some reasons that's not openly discussed for why pushing for a forceful reformation of the zomboid state maybe isn't the best idea.

[@evoluxman9935]

@@svyatoslavgouzenko7034 The avdiivka vehicle loss rate is about 13 to 1 for Ukraine at the moment. During the Zaporhizhia offensive, the ratio was about 1 to 1. While the ukrainian offensive failed, they also suffered much fewer casualties. On top of the fact that the western vehicles used for this offensive are far more survivable than BMPs or T-series tanks. Naalsio26 keeps the count on twitter, using geolocated footage of vehicle losses in these area of operations. As of december 15, Ukraine lost 25 vehicles, Russia 334. On the zaporizhia area, the ratio is 571 ukrainians and 655 russians (533-541 if you don't count trucks and drones, hence 1:1)

[@Quickshot0]

@@svyatoslavgouzenko7034 Strange... my reply to you seems to have disappeared. But to put it down again, I got the information from Perun at the PerunAU channel. Who covers many aspects of the war in great detail in their slide shows. The overall casualties in the war for Ukraine are possibly less then 200k, considering the last USA approximation on it. So your number for their casualties is inaccurate. The Russian ones are somewhere over 300+k according to NATO latest, and that's before the Avdiivka and its many causalities. So very roughly speaking for the entire war the casualty ratios are about 2:1 against Russia. Factors influencing this are that Ukrainian offensives are at times only 1:1 ratios, as well as that the early parts of the war were a lot more messy as well. In defensive actions though like seen in Avdiivka they can reach 3:1 ratios for casualties. Thus the average end number being roughly 2:1 isn't all that surprising. It's kind of where you'd expect it in the back and forth of the last two years. If one looks at other things like equipment though, the average loss ratio over the entire war is perhaps 3:1 or worse against Russia, as seen in confirmed destructions from the Oryx blog. Obviously here to the ratios change in defense and offense. And specifically in defensive operations 5:1 or even higher have been seen. So the exact ratio one gives for losses depends a bit on what one counts and when one counts it, in my case I was looking at Russian offensives. And as such it's pretty clear Russia suffers enormous disproportionate losses when running offensives. So in an attritional war stage like it currently is, it's pretty advantageous for Ukraine really to exchange very small amounts of bombed out, mined and completely ruined terrain for such excellent ratios. You win a war by making the opponent die disproportionately after all. So in a sense Russia insisting on doing all these offensives is doing them a favor really. It has its challenges of course, tough ones, but its costing the Russians vastly more in return.

What will the 11th year of this conflict bring us? While sentiments seem negative, its not all doom and gloom last year. Neither the hurdles in support mean an imminent threath to the existance of Ukraine. But most experts tend to expect a tough year for the defenders of Europe. Still, considering all developments: Ukraine has gained strength since the starting of the war. About 50% of the lost territory was liberated. The air defenses are upgraded and the fear lack of SAM missiles proved invain. The western Black Sea was pacified of serious Russian ambitions and grain can be exported over sea. New weapons have arrived, both from allies and their own production and research. Not to mention long-term deals with foreign producers of arms. The failed counteroffensive was a disappointing all time low. Still, vital lessons can and will be taken from this operation, as Zalushny noted. On the bright side: Ukraine inflicted serious losses to Russia’s artillery arsenal in counter battery fire. And Russia lost irreplace air units like strategic bombers, modern attack helicopters, jets and even one submarine. Sevastopol has been neutralized. About the current Russian attacks: Ukraine now has better weapons compared with the time of the Bakhmut operation: cluster munition and mortar defenses. Even then, Wagner was neutralized as effective Russian force. The invasion force of Putin has been wiped out, lost 87% of its troops according to declassified U.S information. Ukraine fights replacements. First, we should place Russian attacks in perspective: months of tough fighting with serious losses, taking a few kilometer. Ukraine is also a big country. Things can change but the point is: in this pace, Russia might need 100 years to reach Kjiv, loosing 100 million men to do so. Meaning, its more like a WW1 frontline. There is a huge difference between Russian attacks and EFFECTIVE Russian attacks. As said: the existence of Ukraine is very likely. But it remains the issue how much it must suffer before Russia gives up its last hope for a nostalig remake of former glory. A temporary stalemate is a usual thing in most wars. While Poetins henchmen cant succeed, they still can take a lot of Ukrainian blood with them into the abyss. The price of freedom can be higher then neccesary. Politics, financial matters and military-industrial complexes. The Perun channel has better insights then men, as well Cabal offers some insights in Sovjet stocks of Russian tanks. So will limit myself to some general notes. I will their channels in the bottom links. Anyway, the grand perspective of this war is a complex matter, a mixed bag of aspects. Russia starts with a serious war industry and still has money to burn. There are some issues wih labor power and importing parts. In the former USSR and current Russia, claims about raised production needs to be taken with a grain of salt. Still, Russia can gradually increase its production in many things, while not in the numbers it tries to communicate. But it remains substantial. While sanctions hamper Russia, they will not hamper the military industry. Russia is able to bypass the blockades, importing serious amounts of fobridden western parts for its weapons. There are some bottlenecks in military items. But overall: Russia can produce both advanced missiles and low-tech weapons and tanks for the remainder of the war. About the Russian sugar: its stocks of Sovjet weapons. Watch the Covert Cabal link for example. To summarize: Russia refurbishes many old tanks and other equipment, taken from these reserves. But those are not without bottom - as they depleted artillery shells this year. Starting with the best quality, this reserve might get empty around 2025. Then, they can only rely on their own industry. Their production chain has its flaws and achilles heel. Much production is centralized is a limited amount of places, making it vulnerable for sabotage or direct drone assaults. Also, some vital transport lines towards China have been targeted with some succes. If the extensive Ukraine network steps up continues attacks on these arteries, Russian war-efforts can be seriously hampered. Russia’s allies are a mixed bag. In contrary to Russia, China can be seriously damaged by sanctions, when the west goes nuclear with trade and money. Iran can support some missiles and drones. North Korea delivers munition, but a lot seems of inferior quality. Still, the amount might be substantial. Moscow has no warm and unconditional help of serious partners, those have their own agenda. Western industry fails to live up to its promises so far. Still, 300.000 shells is better then zero. But on the long term, their war industry can dwarve the Russian efforts. They have one big incentive besides helping Ukraine: they want to stockpile and replenish their own reserves. Even when ignoring Ukraine, western nations will continue to ramp up production and rebuild armies. For Ukraine, this might be both a blessing and a curse. But they secured a lot of contracts for deliveries, meaning they are the priority customer. ISW and other experts question Putins denial and urge to prepare for a future war against NATO. Such event might take place in 3 to 9 years. Besides that, the best investement in european safety is to aid Ukraine in its current struggle. Putins bet is for western support to Ukraine to deminish. However: bad times can bring good things. When urgency rises, allies might step up their support. On the other side, Putin might press on, even when it would be wise to capitalize his current gains and negotiate. The wolve smells blood, but in the end, it will drown in its own blood. Want too much, and you lose it all. Thats a given aspect of predictions and projections of the coming years. Actions cause reactions. Gains of today may be the cause and herald of defeat tomorrow. And as I said before and many experts : willpower can be the decisive factor in the end. When Ukraine and vital allies remain defiant, Russia will go down. We will get what we believe. So better pursue the positive and victory. Glory to the heroes of Ukraine

The goals are very clear - consolidation in the south-eastern regions of Ukraine and expectations of a weakening of its support from the West(especially after Trump’s likely rise to power in the United States; the inability of the West to produce an adequate number of resources; and the passive attitude of many European states to continue the fight)
